Sink, Bath and Shower Unblocking

Sink, Bath & Shower Unblocking Service

A slow-draining sink or a shower you’re standing in ankle-deep water to use isn’t just annoying – it’s usually a sign a blockage is building up out of sight. I’ve cleared scores of them across North London, and it’s not always as simple as “hair down the plughole.”

My name is Ledian, and I founded A10 Drainage, giving home and commercial customers a top quality drainage and unblocking service at a reasonable price.

We don’t just clear the blockage and rush to the next job. We look deep, find the root cause, and ensure your system is safe and free-flowing for years to come.

What Causes Sink, Bath & Shower Blockages

Founder Ledian Kryeziu
I treat your drainage system with a thorough approach. When we arrive at your property, here is exactly how we get to work:

Most blockages sit close to home, right in the trap or the first stretch of pipe under the fixture. Knowing the cause is half the job:

Hair and soap scum: The classic shower and bath culprit. Hair binds with soap residue and body oils to form a dense mat right at the trap that catches everything else moving through.
Grease and food debris: In kitchen sinks, fat and oil cool and solidify inside the trap and waste pipe, narrowing it until even small scraps cause a full stop.
Limescale build-up: Common in hard water areas. Scale coats the inside of the pipe near the fixture over years, gradually shrinking the space water has to pass through.
Foreign objects and product build-up: Cotton buds, wipes, toothpaste residue and cosmetic products don’t break down and settle at the first bend in the pipework.

Blockages further down the branch or main line do happen, but they’re the exception rather than the rule.

Our 3-Step Toilet Unblocking Process

1. Pinpointing the Source

Before I touch a single tool, I locate exactly where the blockage sits. Nine times out of ten it’s in the trap or the short run of pipe right under the fixture, so that’s always where I check first. If it’s not there, I work further down the branch pipe until I find it. Getting this right means I use the correct procdeure the first time.

2. Clearing the Line Safely

Every pipe is different, which is why I never use a one-size-fits-all approach. I select the perfect specialised tool for your specific blockage:

Manual Rodding & Plunging: For swift clearances on straightforward, near-surface blockages.
Electric Drain Augers: Flexible steel cables that snake through traps and bends to break up hair, scum and debris without damaging your fixtures.
High-Pressure Water Jetting: Blasting away grease, limescale and compacted debris using targeted, controlled water pressure to leave the pipe walls clean, not just clear.

3. Investigating the Root Cause

Once water is draining properly again, I check the flow from empty to full to confirm the line is genuinely clear, not just partially open. Where a blockage is a symptom of a wider issue, like poor pipe falls or heavy scale, I’ll flag it so you know exactly what’s going on and what your options are.

A Personal Note From Ledian Kryeziu:
“I treat every home I visit like my own and giving you peace of mind. When I leave your house, you can rest assured the job was done right by a certified professional and everything left clean and tidy.”

Simple Ways to Keep Sinks, Showers and Baths Clear

Most blockages build up gradually, and a few small habits go a long way:

Fit a hair catcher or plug strainer: Stops hair and debris reaching the trap in the first place – the single biggest win for baths and showers.
Never pour fat or oil down the sink: Let it cool and bin it instead. Even a small amount builds up over time.
Run hot water after washing up: Helps flush grease through before it has a chance to set on the pipe walls.
Skip the chemical drain cleaners: They rarely clear a blockage fully and can damage older pipework, making the next job harder.
Book a check anytime if you suspect problems: Limescale builds up quietly – a quick inspection catches it before it narrows the pipe.
