We understand how stressful it is when you have a blocked toilet in your property. That’s why we aim to have a specialist drainage engineer with you, wherever you are in London, to help clear the blockage as quickly as possible.
A blockage in a toilet can happen as a result of either the build-up of multiple insoluble items that have been flushed down a toilet over a long period of time, or a large amount of material perhaps from just a single flush.
If you simply flush a full cistern of water into a toilet that appears to be blocked it could easily overflow. You’d be taking the risk that the weight of water in the toilet bowl will be enough to clear the blockage.
To most people, the prospect of trying to clear a blocked toilet is not a pleasant one. Even if you have a plunger and a pair of rubber gloves at hand, it assumes the blockage is within the trap rather than further down the pipework or in the soil stack. Frequently, this is not the case.
If you’d simply rather rely on a professional drainage engineer to help clear the blockage, we have tradesmen on call 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
Our engineers carry specialist equipment that helps them clear the most difficult of blockages in toilets and soil pipes.
With water pressurised pumps, powerful electro-mechanical ‘sani-snakes’, and years of experience, they are sure to have your toilet working properly again in no time.
We’re fully trade accredited. Aspect is registered with the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC). When you book an Aspect drainage engineer you can count on getting the professional expertise you’re looking for.
Anything that’s flushed down a toilet, that doesn’t dissolve quickly in water, can cause a blockage. Items that don’t dissolve in water can gradually build up over time.
Although toilet paper is designed to dissolve quickly it’s a common cause of blockages. The reason for this is usually an abnormally high amount of paper being placed in a single flush. Using multi-ply toilet paper can also be an issue as it takes longer to dissolve and break down.
Other common causes of blockages that our drainage engineers find, and are therefore things you should never flush down a toilet, are: –
Our engineers are frequently called to properties in London with broken macerators. Sometimes tenants living in rental properties don’t know they have them and are unaware of the damage that items listed above do to them.
If your toilet has become blocked due to something obstructing the moving parts of the unit our drainage engineer can look at the cause. Sometimes an obstruction can be removed. However, if the unit is broken it’s likely that it will need to be replaced.
We will be able to provide a fixed price to buy a replacement unit and install it for you. We have a huge network of plumbing suppliers throughout London, meaning we can get a new unit installed quickly.
