Toilet unblocking · Surrey

Blocked toilet? We'll clear it cleanly

A toilet that won't flush away, keeps rising or gurgles when the bath empties is not something to live with. We clear it, then make sure the drain beyond is running freely too.

How we clear a blocked toilet

We protect the floor first. Then we use a toilet auger or a plunger designed for the job, which reaches round the bend of the pan without scratching it.

If the blockage is further along, in the soil pipe or the drain outside, we clear it from the nearest manhole with rods or the jetter. That is often where the real problem is.

What usually causes it

Wet wipes, including the ones labelled flushable, kitchen roll, cotton buds and children's toys. In older houses, a slight dip in the pipe can let paper settle and build up over time. Low-flush toilets can also struggle with long drain runs.

Upstairs toilets and flats

In flats and houses with toilets on more than one floor, a blocked stack can push water out of the lowest toilet first. We trace the shared pipe and clear it, and can tell you or the managing agent whose responsibility the blocked section is.
