Rapid Relief for Blocked Sinks and Showers in Poulton
A slow-draining sink or standing water in your shower tray is a frustrating, daily hassle that can quickly lead to hygiene problems and odours. As your local Poulton-le-Fylde drainage specialists, we focus on quickly and efficiently clearing all types of frustrating household blockages. We use non-invasive, effective techniques to restore full flow to your drains, ensuring minimal disruption to your home life in Poulton, Carleton, or Staining.
The Common Culprits Behind Slow Drains
Most internal drainage problems are caused by the gradual build-up of everyday waste materials that collect inside the narrow waste pipes. Identifying the cause is key to ensuring a long-term solution.
Hair and Soap Scum Build-up
This is the number one cause of **blocked showers and baths**. Hair collects on internal pipe fittings, trapping soap scum and debris, which hardens over time and severely restricts water flow.
Grease and Food Debris
In the kitchen, **blocked sinks** are almost always caused by pouring **fat, oil, and grease (FOG)** down the drain. Over time, FOG cools and solidifies inside the pipe, acting as a sticky barrier that traps other food debris and particles.
Misaligned or Damaged Traps
Sometimes, a blockage isn’t caused by build-up but by a damaged or incorrectly fitted U-bend (trap). Our engineers will inspect and adjust or replace faulty traps as part of the clearance service, ensuring the problem is fixed completely.
Our Clean, Non-Invasive Clearance Process
We prioritize resolving your internal blockages quickly and cleanly, without damaging your fixtures or pipework.
Localised Assessment: We start with a quick, non-destructive assessment to determine the location and nature of the blockage, confirming if the issue is localised to the waste pipe or is part of a larger main drain problem.
Mechanical Clearance: Using specialist electro-mechanical tools (snakes/augers), we carefully penetrate the blockage, rotating to cut through hair, grease, and debris. This method is highly effective for clearing domestic waste pipes without relying on corrosive chemicals.
Flow Testing: After clearance, we run significant volumes of water to ensure the drain is flowing perfectly and that the problem has been fully resolved. We leave the area clean and tidy.

Sink and Shower Unblocking FAQ's
What is the most common cause of blocked sinks and showers in Poulton?
The primary cause of blocked household drains is the accumulation of **hair, soap scum, and small food particles** (in sinks) or congealed grease. These bind together inside the narrow waste pipe, causing it to drain slowly or stop entirely.
Should I try chemical drain cleaners first?
We advise against harsh chemical cleaners. They often fail to remove the entire blockage, can be hazardous, and may damage older pipes. Our Poulton engineers use mechanical tools for a **complete, safe, and long-lasting clear**.
How long will it take to clear my blocked sink or shower?
Because these are localized issues, most sink and shower blockages in the Carleton or Staining area can be cleared **quickly—often within 30 minutes to one hour**—once our engineer arrives. We aim for minimal disruption to your home.
What is your pricing for domestic sink and shower unblocking?
We offer transparent, fixed pricing for standard domestic blockages. We will provide a **clear, upfront quote** before we start work. If the issue is complex and requires **drain jetting**, we will discuss the cost with you beforehand.
