The kitchen sink is blocked

if this has blocked locally this is usually caused by food or fat. This is up to tenants to clear and if they cannot they must make their own arrangements to arrange for a contractor to clear it. If we are called to clear a blocked sink we shall charge our standard call out charge

The most common source of a food blockage is a build up of rice or pasta - please scrape these foods in to a bin before washing up

The kitchen sink is blocked or running slowly

if you live in a house or ground floor flat please check that the gulley that the sink drains into is not blocked ( outside the kitchen in the garden or yard). This can prevent the sink from draining properly. The gulley can become blocked by leaves, balls, coke cans etc. If the gulley is blocked and we are called out you may be charged
