Greasy build-up or recurring kitchen sink smells

A maintenance clean before a busy period or tenancy change
Before the visit
Protect the area and avoid making it worse.
- 01
Tell us which drain is slow and whether it happens all the time or only sometimes.
- 02
We check where the problem is likely to be and the best way to clear the build-up.
- 03
After the service, we explain what was found and any sensible follow-up.
Before booking
Match the cleaning scope to the slow drain.
Cleaning a slow-draining line is different from responding to water that is already backing up. Tell us when the flow changed and whether the problem comes and goes.
Send the drain detailsWhat is included?
Ask which accessible drain will be cleaned, what method is proposed and whether a call-out or specialist equipment is included in the quote.
What if it slows again?
A recurring problem may need a separate assessment. Cleaning, CCTV inspection and pipe repair are different scopes to confirm in writing.

Drain cleaning questions.
How is drain cleaning different from clearing a blockage?
Blockage clearing focuses on restoring flow when a drain has stopped or is backing up. Drain cleaning can also address slower build-up, odours and recurring flow problems before a complete blockage develops.
Can I keep using a slow drain?
Use it sparingly and watch for rising water, gurgling or overflow. If more than one drain is slow, stop unnecessary water use and call for advice.
Do chemical drain cleaners solve the problem?
They may not reach or remove the underlying cause, and mixing products can be dangerous. Tell us about anything already poured into the drain before work begins.
What should a drain-cleaning quote include, and what might be separate?
The quote should identify the affected location, the cleaning or clearing work proposed and what follow-up checking is included. Call-out charges, specialist equipment, camera inspection and pipe repair are separate unless the written scope specifically includes them.
Is clearing a blockage the same as repairing a damaged drain pipe?
No. Clearing restores flow through an obstruction; repairing a damaged pipe addresses a confirmed defect in the pipework. Site findings and the written scope determine whether repair is a separate second stage.
