Blocked Drain - Help! do I need a plumber?

[2sisters]

Hello,

The drain outside our kitchen is blocked, I was wondering if anyone has any tricks of how to solve this problem or anyone know anyone who could help?

Thanks!

Go to the DIY shop and buy a bottle of One Shot. Cover your face and wear heavy duty gloves, pour it down the drain and get out of the way quickly as the fumes are bad. It's brilliant stuff though and has solved this problem for us in the past in our old place. Follow the instructions carefully though...

I'm not an expert, but have rubbish pipes I have to clear myself regularly. If you can get any access to it (probably by taking a cap off outside - trying unscrewing the end of the pipework, or going backwards from the drain under a cover if you can access that), try a bendable plumbing rod (they sell them at the DIY shop on Lordship lane). It's mucky, but works. Depends what your set up is though. I also just fixed a bathroom bathwater waste blockage by pulling off the grill outside and (wearing gloves!) pulling out the blockage. Unpleasant, but less so than kitchen waste! Good luck.

I usually stick a plunger down mine.

I had that! a plunger did not work because it was too short and did not have enough suction. I used a mop as a plunger and it worked amazingly well. it has more reach so is way more effective!! a couple of goes and everything shot out (was moss in my drain)
