Blocked Toilet Unblocking
One flush, one fix. No mess left behind.
Blocked toilets are the single most common call we take — and the messiest to leave overnight. Whether the blockage is in the pan, the soil stack or further downstream in the underground drain, we'll identify the exact cause and clear it without turning your bathroom into a building site.
Warning signs
- Water rising above the normal level when you flush
- Slow or weak flush that doesn't fully clear the pan
- Gurgling from the shower or bath when the toilet is flushed
- Bad smells from the pan even after cleaning
- Repeated blockages within the same week
Common causes
- Excessive toilet paper or wet wipes flushed at once
- Nappies, sanitary products or cotton buds in the trap
- Children's toys or air fresheners dropped into the pan
- Blockage downstream in the soil stack or drain
- Limescale build-up in the flush rim reducing flow

While you wait — do
- ✓ Turn off the water supply at the isolation valve behind the pan
- ✓ Do not flush again — it will overflow
- ✓ Lay old towels around the base
- ✓ Ventilate the room
Please don't
- ✕ Don't use a coat hanger — you'll scratch the pan and lose it

- ✕ Don't tip caustic unblocker into the pan — it splashes back
