Our Drain Unblocking Services

Unblocking external drains

If your external or outside drain becomes blocked it can present a risk to your entire drainage system. Your external and outside drains can include sewage lines and underground pipes which can be difficult to assess and diagnose exactly where the blockages lie. That’s where our expert drain specialists come in to diagnose and repair issues.

Unblocking toilet drains

A blocked toilet drain can quickly become a biohazard, especially if you’ve tried flushing it repeatedly to clear the clog. As your toilet connects to the sewage system, left untreated, it can turn into a more costly repair. If you’re experiencing a toilet emergency, call our team and we’ll aim to be with you within 1hr.

Unblocking shower, bath and sink drains

Hair, soap residue and debris can cause blockages in your bathroom pipes over time. Left untreated these blockages can turn into cracks and leaks, which can be more costly to repair in the long run. If you’re experiencing a bathroom blockage contact us today.

Unblocking kitchen drains

Food, oil and coffee grounds are all major causes of kitchen blockages, which will not only cause the water to drain slowly, or not at all, down your kitchen plug hole but also cause unpleasant smells and the spread of germs. Kitchen drain blocked? Let our experts help you today.

Boiler replacement and radiator move very professional

James and Andrew spent 2 days replacing the boiler and replumbing radiators. Highly professional approach, keeping all their equipment tidy, insuring all replacement work was of the highest standard and fully compliant. It's not cheap, but you get real peace of mind with the work done.

Quick to reply and fix the issues in an expert manner

Joanne Tipping
So impressed

So impressed - fantastic electrician Andrew fixed the kitchen under-cabinet lights that were flickering. He diagnosed and fixed the issue incredibly quickly, replacing the LED-driver unit with a brand new one and also fixed another electrical fault which he discovered.

Super friendly, professional and expert.

Highly recommended 10/10

Good service

Used a locksmith from Pimlico who completed works to a high standard and was fully equipped. At the end, offered if there was anything other carpentry work they could do. Quite pricey but a no fuss experience so very worth it

I contacted Pimlico and 45 minutes later

I contacted Pimlico and Darren, a drains specialist arrived inside 45 minutes. Within another 45 minutes he’d found the cause of my drain blockage, cleared it and cleaned up after himself. Great service.

Karina Sauerland
Excellent service

My hot water stopped working in the morning, I called Pimlico and within 30 minutes the plumber had arrived. Lee was very cheerful and competent. He diagnosed the issues, purchased the required parts, and had everything installed & working before the end of the day. Great!

Ben
Great service from Pimlico

We needed a plumber to rectify a leak under the kitchen sink. The technician turned up exactly on time and put in a full days work. As part of this he replaced the incoming pipework, valves and flexible hoses which was necessary. His workmanship was excellent and we now have a proper, well laid out and installed water & waste system as opposed to the spaghetti that existed before. Service was excellent as it has been on previous occasions when we have used Pimlico.

Steve
Happy with Service

We have been very happy with the service we have received - the problem we had has been explained to us and given us the correct information we needed to resolve the issue.
Will use again

Sue
Quality craftsmanship and great customer service

I have used Pimlico Plumbers for a few jobs in the past few years (mostly plumbing and electrical). Their workers are always polite, friendly, and considerate. They take care of your property and belongings (e.g. taking their shoes off in the house, covering/protecting surfaces, and cleaning after the job). Their work is thorough, of quality, and they keep you up to date through out the process. I highly recommend Pimlico Plumbers.

Audrey
A completely outstanding job

Josh, Mike and Barry have done a completely outstanding job. In particular, I would highlight the attention to detail and quality of craftsmanship in the work implemented. All three take a real pride in doing a great job.
Thank you for putting this team on my job.

They’re the true experts!

As ever the adage about getting what you pay for is very true - and with Pimlico you are getting the absolute best quality of professionals. In all of my dealings with Pimlico, I’ve appreciated their transparency around estimates, their advice as they’ve worked with me to get what I want and stay within budget, as well as their positive attitudes - not to mention the work itself which I’ve found to be meticulous, organised, and considerate. I’d happily recommend Pimlico for anyone else considering minor or extensive bathroom renovations, or anything else for that matter - they’re the true experts!

A De Grunchy
I have no hesitation in recommending Pimlico

I recently completed a project with Pimlico which involved stripping two bathrooms and doing a full renovation of both. The project was completed on time, on budget, and to the highest professional standards. I am thrilled with the results.
Throughout the communication between myself, the contractor, and the Pimlico team was excellent. E-mails and phone calls were without exception responded to promptly, and where appropriate, action initiated.
I have no hesitation in recommending Pimlico, based on my experience.

Mindy
Excellent service

Excellent service, had all the materials to replace my bathroom extractor fan. Same day service. As always very professional and efficient.

Miguel Municio
Skilled carpentry work

We had Ed Jackson, a carpenter to undertake some works of repair to wooden flooring and install two shelves in a fitted cupboard. His work was excellent, he was a pleasure to have around and we shall certainly ask for him again.

Caroline
Highly experienced carpenter

This carpenter was found to be most efficient in all aspects of the work that was carried out, and highly experienced.

Blocked drains FAQ’s

Minor blockages can often be fixed easily. Using a plunger can unblock unpleasant clogs but reoccurring or severe blockages should be investigated by a professional plumber. We also advise against using a plumber snake yourself, as when used incorrectly can damage your pipes.

If you have an emergency drain blockage, we’re on hand 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and we won’t charge any extra if you have an emergency on the weekend. We charge just £37.50+VAT per hour, and then in 15-minute increments, so you’re only charged for the time we need to fix your blockage.

Yes, even some products that are advertised as “flushable” should not be put down your drains, including;

    • Hand/Baby wipes
    • Sanitary products
    • Nappies
    • Cotton buds or pads
    • Coffee grounds
    • Hair
    • Grease, fats or oils
    • Conventional cleaning products
    • Flushable cat litter

Chemical drain cleaners can be effective when unblocking drains, but shouldn’t be relied on frequently as the powerful chemicals can corrode the pipes over time.

Before your drain becomes completely blocked, there can be some warning signs such as;

  • Slow draining water
  • Bad smelling drain
  • Pipes making gurgling noises
  • If your toilet has a blockage, there may be a higher level of water in your toilet bowl than usual.

The most important thing you can do to keep your drains in good condition is to make sure unwanted debris, food, oil and other flushable items are not put down the drains. You could also invest in drain covers to catch unwanted materials.  We also advise running hot but not boiling water through the sink regularly to flush out debris.
