We just tackled a nasty blockage caused by one of the biggest enemies of plumbing: wipes.The customer’s downstairs toilet was backing up and refusing to flush away. We took our high-pressure jetting equipment outside, cleared both the drain runs, and removed a massive buildup of wipes that were choking the system.After a thorough flow test, the toilet is running perfectly again. We also had a friendly chat with the customer about why “flushable” wipes aren’t actually flushable!

We were recently called to investigate a bathroom where the water had been draining sluggishly for a while. Over time, hair, soap scum, and limescale had built up deep inside the pipework, creating a stubborn barrier that retail chemical cleaners just can’t budge.To solve it, we brought out our high-pressure water jetting equipment. This safely blasts through the hardened blockage, cleaning the internal pipe walls and restoring the system to full flow.

Scale develops slowly, building up over time and often goes undetected until drainage stops working as it should. This is exactly what happened at a recent job in Littlehampton - see how we helped a factory get their drains flowing freely!

We went to a call-out yesterday where the kitchen gully was completely backed up. The homeowner was stressed, the yard smelled, and water was bubbling up everywhere. We got the high-pressure jetting gear out, and within minutes it had blasted away years of built-up grease and blockages. Watching that water instantly drain away and get everything flowing freely again is always the best part of the job.
