A blocked toilet is a common, urgent problem. Toilet paper, wipes, or toys often cause it. We use toilet augers, plungers, and drain snakes built for tight bends. Most jobs take 30 minutes to two hours, and we leave the bathroom clean.
A toilet that will not flush can be a sign of a wider drain problem. Read our guide on what to do when water backs up before you book.
We check the toilet pan and nearby fixtures. This tells us if the blockage is local or further down the pipe.
We use special tools to find the exact blockage. For tricky cases, a small camera checks inside the pipe.
We clear the blockage with the right tool. This might be a strong plunger, a toilet auger, or a drain snake.
We flush the toilet several times to confirm it flows freely. Then we check nearby fixtures and leave the bathroom clean and dry.
The cost depends on how bad and how deep the blockage is. Simple jobs cost less than ones needing a camera check. There's no call-out fee, so you only pay for finished work. Get a fast, fixed quote online before we start.
A plunger can clear simple blockages from too much toilet paper. If the water stays high or the blockage returns, we bring in proper tools. Avoid chemical drain cleaners in toilets. They can damage seals and rarely clear solid blockages.
A toilet that blocks again and again often has a problem further down the pipe. Tree roots, a moved pipe joint, or built-up scale are common causes. A camera survey finds the exact cause. Then we can fix it for good, not just clear it each time.
A simple toilet blockage is often quick to clear. A trickier blockage further down the pipe can take longer, and a camera check adds time. Your engineer will give you a time estimate on arrival.
