Blocked Sinks in Sandown, Isle of Wight

Most homeowners we speak to in Sandown find that their kitchen sinks start acting up because of what we call 'fatbergs'. It sounds a bit grim, doesn't it? Over time, tiny amounts of cooking oil, grease, and food scraps find their way down the plughole. They might seem harmless, but they eventually stick to the inside of your pipework, narrowing the gap until even a tiny bit of coffee ground can cause a total standstill. You might have tried a bottle of supermarket drain unblocker, but these often just sit on top of the clog or, worse, can actually damage your pipes if they're used too often. We prefer a more permanent fix, using professional gear to clear the entire waste pipe.

Imagine you’ve just noticed a damp patch appearing under the sink or a foul odour that won't go away. That’s usually the sign of a leak or a blockage in the U-bend or the internal pipework. Our team doesn't just turn up with a plunger and hope for the best. We use high-pressure water jetting and manual rodding to scour the internal walls of your pipes. This doesn't just poke a hole through the blockage; it actually cleans the pipe, removing the grease and scale buildup that causes recurring problems. It’s a fast, clean, and effective way to restore your kitchen to normal without you having to roll up your sleeves.

Is your bathroom sink gurgling like it’s trying to tell you something? In the bathroom, the culprits are usually a mix of hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. These materials create a thick, sticky mat in the trap that’s famously difficult to clear with DIY methods. If your sink is draining slowly or you're seeing water back up into the shower tray, it’s best to act before you’re dealing with a flood. We can quickly disassemble the trap, clear the blockage, and check the rest of your sanitary pipework to ensure everything is flowing exactly as it should.
