Blocked Sink Bristol – Kitchen and Bathroom Clearance, Same Day
A blocked kitchen sink is one of the most disruptive household problems there is — you can’t cook properly, you can’t wash up, and if it’s backing up into the other side of the bowl or overflowing under the cupboard, it’s stressful. We clear blocked sinks across Bristol, usually the same day you call.

Why Kitchen Sinks Block (and Why It Gets Worse Fast)
Kitchen sink blockages are almost always caused by fat and grease. Even if you don’t pour fat directly down the sink, every greasy pan, every rinsed plate and every washing-up session sends fat into the drain. It builds up on the walls of the pipe over months and years until the bore narrows enough to cause a slow drain — and then, often suddenly, a full blockage.
The trap underneath the sink catches some of it, but once fat gets past the trap it’s in the waste pipe and from there into the main stack. By that point it’s not something a plunger will shift.
Bathroom Sink Blockages — Usually Simpler, but Still Worth Sorting
Bathroom sinks block for different reasons — mainly hair and soap residue combining in the trap or waste pipe. The trap is usually the first place to check, and in many cases it’s a two-minute job. If the blockage is further down the waste pipe, we have the tools to clear it without damaging the pipework or the bathroom fittings.
How We Clear Blocked Sinks in Bristol
- We inspect the trap first — sometimes it's a straightforward clean-out
- For waste pipe blockages we use a drain machine or jetting equipment depending on the pipe size and access
- We protect the area before we start and clean up after
- If the blockage is in the main stack rather than the waste pipe, we'll tell you — the fix is the same either way

Blocked Sink FAQs
A plunger is worth trying for a simple blockage. Chemical drain cleaners can work on grease but aren’t great for hair and tend to damage older fittings. If the water won’t shift at all, call us rather than making it worse.
For a typical kitchen or bathroom sink, usually 30–60 minutes depending on where the blockage is and how long it’s been developing.
