There's no point inserting a snake blindly if the obstruction is two floors down. For this, we use an inspection camera, a thin camera on a flexible cable that travels through the pipe and displays the exact location and nature of the blockage on a screen. Hair, grease, plant roots, foreign objects, fragments from old building work. For superficial blockages in sinks or basins, a cheap manual drain snake and half an hour of patience are usually sufficient. If the water starts to move, keep going. If after 30-45 minutes it's still blocked, call us. Insisting only makes the situation worse by pushing the plug deeper.

For blocked toilets, the classic plunger only works if the blockage is superficial. When the blockage is deeper, in the toilet's internal trap or the first bend of the downpipe, a professional snake or a small rotary machine is needed. It's good to know this because many people end up removing the entire toilet thinking it's the only way. It's actually the last resort. The most complex case is a blockage in the downpipe. The downpipe is the vertical pipe that collects wastewater from multiple floors in a building. When it gets blocked, it usually affects several residents at once. This is where high-pressure water jetting comes in, capable of pushing water at 150 bar and clearing everything. It's the most effective equipment but also the most delicate. If the pipe has cracks or weak joints, the pressure can worsen things. This inspection takes between 15 and 30 minutes and helps choose the correct method. It's a very useful intervention when the blockage is recurrent and we want to know if there's an underlying structural problem, like a broken pipe or a poorly calculated gradient.

The most common blockage is in the sink or basin trap. Solidified grease and soap form a soft plug that can be removed with a drain snake or a gentle chemical cleaner if the material is PVC. Caustic soda should not be used on old lead or copper pipes. It corrodes the metal and creates worse problems than the original issue. For toilets, a quality plunger is worth having at home. It's the first step. If it doesn't move after five to ten pumps, call a plumber. Forcing it further can break the toilet's wax seal, creating an additional problem. Low-water aluminium radiators are the most efficient for most modern installations. They heat up and cool down quickly and allow for precise timer programming without compromising comfort. Tubular panel steel radiators are a common alternative with good value for money. For bathrooms, we recommend towel rail radiators that combine room heating with towel drying.
