The appointment was incredibly easy to arrange, they were able to fit me in far quicker than I anticipated and the service was professional and clearly explained to me. Would recommend.
Toilet unblocking services
Our professional toilet unblocking service quickly identifies and clears the cause of a blocked toilet, whether it is a simple paper build up or a deeper drainage issue.
Using the right tools and techniques, our experienced drainage engineers do what no shop bought toilet unblocker can, restoring full flow with minimal disruption and helping you avoid water damage, unpleasant odours and further plumbing complications. If the problem cannot wait, our emergency toilet unblocking service is available 24/7, 365 days a year.
Blocked toilet solutions from professional engineers
A blocked toilet can quickly disrupt your home or business, causing unpleasant odours, rising water levels and the risk of overflow. Common causes include excess toilet paper, wet wipes, sanitary products, a damaged or blocked toilet waste pipe, or a problem further along the drainage system.
When this happens, fast and professional action is essential. Our engineers use professional grade equipment to find the cause, whether that is in the pan, the blocked toilet drain or the wider system, clear it fully and helping stop it coming back. For anything more stubborn we can carry out a CCTV drain survey to see exactly what is going on. These are the blocked toilet solutions a plunger or a bottle of chemicals cannot deliver.

Yes. We provide emergency toilet unblocking 24/7, 365 days a year, across more than 60 locations in the UK. There is no call out fee, and we aim to respond to your enquiry within 15 minutes.
A chemical toilet unblocker or a plunger will sometimes shift a light paper blockage, but it will not clear wet wipes, sanitary products or a fault in the waste pipe, and repeated use of harsh chemicals can damage older pipework. If the water is still rising after one attempt, stop and call an engineer.
It depends on the cause. A build up in the pan can often be cleared on site in minutes, while a blocked toilet waste pipe or a wider drainage fault needs professional equipment such as high pressure jetting or a CCTV survey. Our engineers diagnose the cause first, so you are not paying for the wrong fix.
The waste pipe is the section that carries waste from the toilet to the main drain. When it blocks, the toilet fills and drains slowly, or does not clear at all, and the problem usually returns after plunging. Our engineers clear the pipe properly and check the run for any damage that caused it.
If other appliances in the property are also draining slowly, or if there is water standing in an outside manhole, the issue is likely a blocked toilet drain rather than the toilet itself. If only the toilet is affected, the blockage is usually closer to the pan. Our engineers confirm this before starting work.
We have hundreds of engineers based across the UK in over 60 locations, so there is almost always a local team nearby. Enter your postcode in the finder above to arrange a toilet unblocking service near you, or call us 24/7, 365 days a year.
