Why Blocked Drains Need Urgent Attention
Blocked drains are one of the most common plumbing problems in London properties. If left untreated, they can lead to unpleasant odours, water damage, and even structural issues caused by leaking or overflowing pipes. In some cases, a minor blockage can quickly develop into a serious drainage emergency, particularly in older properties with ageing pipe systems.
That is why it is important to act quickly at the first sign of a problem. Common warning signs include slow-draining sinks or baths, gurgling sounds from your pipes, water backing up in your toilet, and bad smells coming from your drains. Therefore, if you notice any of these issues, contact Ab’s General Plumbing straight away.

We offer a full range of drain unblocking services across London, covering both internal and external drainage systems. As a result, whatever the problem, we have the right solution. Our services include:

- Bathroom drain unblocking – Hair, soap scum, and limescale can build up in shower and bath drains over time. Consequently, our team removes blockages efficiently without damaging your pipes.
- Toilet unblocking – A blocked toilet can cause serious disruption. However, we handle everything from minor blockages to complete obstructions, restoring your toilet to full working order.
- Outdoor and external drainage – External drains and gullies can become blocked with leaves, mud, and debris. Therefore, we clear outdoor drainage systems to prevent flooding and water damage.
- Drain jetting – For stubborn or recurring blockages, we use high-pressure water jetting to thoroughly clean your pipes and remove built-up deposits.
- CCTV drain surveys – If you are experiencing persistent drainage problems, furthermore, a CCTV survey can identify the root cause, including collapsed pipes, root ingress, or significant build-up.

Preventative Drain Maintenance
In addition to unblocking drains, we also offer preventative maintenance services to help reduce the risk of future blockages. Regular drain cleaning and maintenance can extend the life of your plumbing system, prevent emergency call-outs, and save you money on costly repairs over time.
We recommend scheduling a drain inspection at least once a year, particularly for older properties or those with a history of drainage problems. Our team can identify early warning signs and address them before they develop into more serious issues.
According to Water UK, millions of drain blockages occur across the UK every year, many of which are caused by fats, oils, and wipes being flushed down drains. Simple habits, such as using drain guards and disposing of cooking fat correctly, can make a significant difference.
You can also find useful guidance on drain care and maintenance through Thames Water’s website, which covers what should and should not be put down household drains.

Can you clear the blockage immediately?
Yes. Most blockages are cleared during the first visit.
Will you just push the blockage further down?
No. The blockage is removed properly, not masked or shifted.
Do you deal with repeat blockages?
Yes. If a drain keeps blocking, we address the root cause, not just the symptom.
Is this better than using drain chemicals?
Absolutely. Chemicals often fail and damage pipework. Professional clearing is safer and effective.

DIY attempts often make the problem worse and more expensive to fix.
