Fast, Reliable Toilet Unblocking Across Preston, Blackpool, Lancashire, Manchester & Liverpool

A blocked toilet isn’t just inconvenient—it can pose serious hygiene risks, damage property, and disrupt normal operations, especially in commercial or public settings. That’s why we offer a prompt response with fully equipped vans, advanced diagnostic tools, and a commitment to delivering lasting results. Our team handles everything from one-off domestic blockages to large-scale commercial unblocking jobs with care, professionalism, and attention to detail.

Common Causes of Toilet Blockages

Toilets can become blocked for a variety of reasons, ranging from improper use to underlying drainage issues. In most cases, blockages result from a build-up of non-flushable materials such as wet wipes, nappies, sanitary products, excessive toilet paper, or foreign objects. Occasionally, the root cause lies deeper within the system—caused by tree root ingress, scale build-up, or collapsed pipework.

Identifying the exact cause is crucial for delivering a long-term fix. Our engineers use a combination of specialist equipment, including drain rods, high-pressure water jetting, and CCTV drain surveys, to locate and diagnose the blockage. Once resolved, we provide guidance to help prevent the issue from returning.

Our Comprehensive Toilet Unblocking Services

We offer a wide range of services designed to resolve all types of toilet blockages, from minor clogs to more complex drainage issues. Whether you’re a homeowner, tenant, landlord, or business owner, we deliver efficient and effective solutions tailored to your property type and drainage system:

Domestic Toilet Unblocking

Our fast, discreet service ensures your home toilet is unblocked quickly and cleanly. We treat your property with respect and leave no mess behind.

Commercial Toilet Unblocking

Toilet issues in commercial settings can quickly disrupt operations. We work with businesses, schools, gyms, restaurants, and more to restore facilities with minimal downtime.

High-Pressure Water Jetting

This powerful method removes stubborn blockages caused by grease, scale, or debris lodged deep within the system. It’s ideal for recurring or extensive obstructions.

CCTV Drain Surveys

If the blockage suggests a deeper issue, we use advanced CCTV cameras to inspect your pipework. This helps identify structural faults and prevent future drainage problems.

24/7 Emergency Response

Toilet emergencies don’t wait—and neither do we. Our engineers are available day and night to restore function and hygiene to your property, and unblock your toilet fast.

Signs Your Toilet Might Be Blocked

Blocked toilets often begin with subtle signs that may seem minor but can escalate quickly. Recognising these early warnings helps avoid damage and more costly repairs:

  • Toilet won’t flush or only partially empties

  • Water rises higher than normal after flushing

  • Gurgling or bubbling noises in the bowl or nearby drains

  • Unpleasant smells coming from the bathroom

  • Water or waste backing up into the toilet bowl

If you experience any of these issues, it’s best to take action before the situation worsens.

Toilet Unblocking - FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Got questions about Toilet Unblocking? Check out our FAQs to find out about some answers to general questions

Toilets usually become blocked due to a build-up of non-flushable items like wipes, nappies, or sanitary products. Excess toilet paper or foreign objects can also clog the system. In some cases, the blockage is caused by issues deeper in the drainage system, such as tree roots, pipe scale, or collapsed drains.

Minor blockages may be cleared using a plunger, but persistent or recurring issues often require professional tools and expertise. DIY fixes can sometimes worsen the problem or push the blockage deeper into the system.

We offer a 24/7 emergency callout service and aim to respond as quickly as possible—often the same day. Our engineers are based locally across Preston, Blackpool, Lancashire, Manchester, and Liverpool for rapid support.

Our engineers will assess the issue, use the appropriate tools (such as rods or high-pressure water jetting), and ensure the blockage is fully cleared. If necessary, we’ll carry out a CCTV survey to investigate any deeper problems.

Only flush toilet paper and waste—never wipes, cotton pads, or hygiene products. Avoid disposing of kitchen grease or cleaning cloths in the toilet, and schedule routine drain maintenance if you’re prone to recurring issues.

Yes, we provide toilet unblocking services for all property types, including restaurants, offices, schools, healthcare sites, and retail spaces. We work discreetly and efficiently to minimise disruption.
