Customer asked what could be causing ongoing blockages - quick glance at the visible pipe work and you can see a number of issues.

Luckily as most of it is exposed and the water feed has isolation nearby, lifting the toilet on a plinth and some minor adjustments should make a massive improvement on this disabled bathroom.

Being the first bathroom in an office block, I can see why they want to put a stop to the ongoing issues…

Unlike the previous post with the quick and easy gully clearance, this one turned out to be a slightly more complicated issue - a load of what can only be described as building rubble, sand, silt and other debris in both manholes on a small bungalow in Gloucestershire.

After careful high pressure water jetting and manually digging out the debris, eventually flow was restored.

The landlord only bought the property a month ago, but the debris looked like it was there for years.

It’s always worth checking drains and other utilities for potential problems, even if it’s just a visual assessment.
Luckily because these drains ran to a Buchan Trap near the front gates, most of the debris was contained to the property and not the common sewer, which would have been a nightmare to back jet as it joined blind.

This one was on the way home, very quick and efficient- and done, cleaned and disinfected moments before the next guests arrived at this customer’s short-stay cottage.

I like a challenge, and when I walked into this, I knew that’s exactly what I was in for 🤦‍♂️

Got the job done though, despite the heat and the blockage being at the absolute limit most jetting units can reach.

Had planned to go to the gym this afternoon but this job had other ideas…

“I don’t understand how this (fats, grease, and oil) build up has happened”

Me: “Your pot wash, food prep and other sinks have given your drains a heart attack”

No matter how careful you are, when it comes to commercial kitchens, the sheer volume of plates, cutlery, pots & pans, etc. causes a build up which can create further issues down the line (both literally and figuratively).

Solution?

Install an appropriate grease trap which will physically stop FOG build up and make it more manageable if maintained, and/or regular pre-planned maintenance by degreasing the pipes mechanically or by high pressure water.

This kitchen now has an access point for maintaining the waste pipes when the business is closed, allowing minimal disruption and more convenience.

Now instead of an emergency call-out when the kitchen is busy, this local restaurant can plan ahead and manage their fat & grease build up when it suits them (you won’t eliminate it entirely, so best practice is to control it appropriately).

From simple blockages caused by a waste pipe discharging directly onto a gully cover and restricting flow, to repairing damaged inspection chamber channels and benching — no two drainage jobs are ever the same.

The important part is getting to the root of the issue and fixing it properly, not just clearing it and moving on.

If you’re dealing with recurring problems, there’s usually a reason behind it — and a long-term fix.

A few recent drainage jobs we’ve completed across Oxfordshire 👇

From clearing blocked drains with no external access, to cutting out failed repairs and working on older systems like Victorian Buchan traps — no two jobs are ever the same.

The key is getting to the root of the problem and providing a long-term solution, not just a quick fix.

If you’re dealing with recurring blockages or ongoing drainage issues, there’s usually an underlying cause that needs properly investigating — and often a cost-effective solution.

It’s sometimes tricky to know who to call or exactly what kind of contractor to call when you have drain emergency.
In this case we were called out by a plumber who spent 3 hours trying to clear a blockage for an elderly customer (not through lack of effort).

With the right specialist kit and a bit of perseverance, this was cleared, tested and flowing in 45 minutes.

If you’re experiencing a drain blockage, feel free to reach out and get it sorted promptly 💪🏻

Classic new build drainage 🤦‍♂️

Combination of putting a bend in where a straight line would have made sense with an ineffective or low-water flush.
Luckily an easy clearance once the culprit chamber is found and flushed through.
