If your drain problem is specifically in the shower, our shower unblocking service can be one of the easiest ways that you can get your bathroom area back up and running again.

If you face the same stubborn blockage after a service appointment through our mechanical or manual methods, we can undertake a much more detailed analysis using imaging CCTV to find the root cause. This is a no obligation estimate that can include the advanced cause of your plumbing issue and fix the problem at no extra charge.

With the help of the company you can make sure that your plumbing has not been compromised and you can know the full extent of the issue.

If you’re interested in preventing domestic blocked drains after we have handled your problem, it’s important to keep in mind that there are some easy ways to prevent your drains from blocking up again:

Getting regular surveys: getting regular surveys if you notice that your drain is starting to move slowly can be important. Monitoring your pipes will help to prevent further problems and make sure that when they are starting to drain a little bit slowly, that they can be scraped out and secured for the future.

Scrape any food waste off of plates: scraping food waste off plates before they go in the sink to make sure that there is less food waste that goes down the drain. Removing food waste from your plates can help to make sure that you can prevent food waste from clogging your pipes.

Never pour grease directly down the drain: leave greasy items to cool and then scrape them into the bin rather than pouring them down the drain.

Using the right detergents and soaps: make sure that you are using soap and detergent that is designed to break down grease and oil. Using the right dish soap could often lead to less oil and fats collecting in your drain basin.
