Why it blocked

Three things cause most of our call-outs

Nearly every blockage we clear comes down to fat, wipes or tree roots. Knowing how they build up is usually enough to stop the next one.

How fat destroys your pipes

Fats and oils go down the drain as liquid, then cool and set hard on the pipe walls. Everything that follows sticks to it.

How wipes cause blockages

Wipes flush easily but don't break down like toilet paper. They snag on joints and bends and catch everything that comes after them.

How roots damage your pipes

Roots find a hairline crack or a loose joint, get inside for the moisture, and keep growing until the pipe is blocked or broken.

The short version

Only three things belong down a toilet: pee, poo and toilet paper. Fats and cooking oil go in the bin once cool, never down the sink. And if you have mature trees near an older clay drain, a CCTV survey every few years will find root ingress long before it becomes an excavation.
