There are many ways to try and clear a blocked sink. Methods like running hot water, using a plunger, removing the u-bend beneath the sink, and pouring chemical products could all shift a minor blockage. However, not everyone wants to get their hands dirty or even feels safe doing so. Some methods come with their own risks, and when used improperly, store-bought drain cleaners can even damage your property’s pipes.
Whether you’d rather avoid DIY clearance work or have tried in vain to unblock your sink, we’re ready to help. Our engineers unblock kitchen sinks across London and many parts of the Home Counties. We even have experts available who respond to emergency callouts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
If your sink water drains slowly, then it’s likely because of a blockage in the pipe. Standing water suggests there’s a problem past the u-bend, and it may require more force than a plunger can manage. We can unblock your sink quickly; clearing away any food, grease, scale or debris within the system.
We’re fully equipped to unblock sinks. Our engineers use specialist tools to clear the toughest of blockages – whether it’s in your kitchen sink or the bathroom wash basin.
Electro-mechanical ‘sani snakes’ allow a rotating cable to be pushed far along the pipes. Different attachments help our engineers to push through blockages in sink drainage pipes, and with a reach of over 20 metres, they’re ideal for clearing clogs in hard-to-reach places.
If you notice slow-draining water or multiple blockages around your property, there might be a problem with your external (secondary) drains. In such cases, we can use special rodding tools and water jetting equipment to clear the system fast.

We had a drainage problem in our kitchen that was fairly bad. The tradesman was quick, efficient and to the point. Didn't take too long to do which made me feel at ease and gave some good advice too!

Excellent service. I called this morning at 8am and a technician was out by 12:30. Reece was polite and friendly and sorted out the clogged drain in no time flat. Would absolutely call Aspect again and recommend them highly.

We’re used to finding all sorts of items lodged in sinks and wash basins. Here are some products that you definitely shouldn’t throw down there:
Unless it’s a liquid that won’t harden in the pipe, you should avoid throwing anything down the kitchen sink. It’s also worth investing in a drain screen too. This will catch large chunks of food and prevent items from falling into the plughole.
