Blocked Drain - Help! do I need a plumber?

Recommended Posts

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.

    • He seemed to me to be fully immersed in the Jeremy Corbyn ethos of the Labour Party. I dint think that (and self describing as a Marxist) would have helped much when Labour was changed under Starmer. There was a purge of people as far left as him that he was lucky to survive once in my opinion.
    • I perceive the problem.simply as spending too much without first shoring up the economy.  If the government had reduced borrowing,  and as much as most hate the idea, reduced government deiartment spending (so called austerity) and not bowed to union pressures for pay rises, then encouraged businesses to grow, extra cash would have entered the coffers and at a later stage when the economy was in a stronger position rises in NI or taxes would have a lesser impact, but instead Reeves turned that on its head by increasing ni which has killed growth, increased prices and shimmied the economy.  What's worse is that the perceived 20 billion black hole has increased to 30 billion in a year. Is there a risk that after 5 years it could be as high as 70 billion ???     
    • That petition is bananas.   If you want a youth centre there pay the landlord the same rent a Londis would and build it yourself or shut the f**k up to be honest. Wasting our MPs time with this trivial nonsense is appalling. If your kids are still out at 1am on a school night you've got bigger problems than vapes and booze and hot sausage rolls. 
    • There used to be a better baker than Gail's on the same site immediately before Gail's pulled their financial muscle.
