A complete, practical guide for homeowners dealing with blocked drains — from DIY fixes to professional solutions.
Blocked drains are a frequent issue across Fulham and West London, particularly in older properties. Common causes include grease build-up, hair and soap residue, food waste, foreign objects, tree root intrusion, and ageing or damaged pipes.
At Citywide Plumbers, we use CCTV drain surveys to locate the exact cause and depth of the blockage, ensuring long-term results rather than temporary fixes.
Minor clogs can sometimes be cleared using boiling water, baking soda and vinegar, a plunger, or a drain snake. These methods are suitable for light grease or hair build-up.
If DIY attempts fail, avoid chemical drain cleaners — they often damage pipework and make professional repairs harder.
If you notice recurring blockages, foul smells, slow drainage across multiple fixtures, gurgling sounds, or water backing up, it’s time to call experienced Plumbers in Fulham.
Our 24/7 emergency drain cleaning service ensures fast response across Fulham and West London.
Citywide Plumbers uses high-pressure water jetting, CCTV drain inspections, drain rodding, trenchless pipe relining, and root removal to clear drains safely and effectively.
Avoid pouring grease down sinks, use drain guards, flush drains weekly with hot water, and book routine maintenance with Citywide Plumbers.
