Blocked Sink & Basin Unblocking in Caterham

Blocked Sink & Basin Unblocking for Caterham (CR3) properties

Caterham has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig. We factor that into every blocked sink & basin unblocking job we take in CR3.

Most common drainage problems in Caterham
