Landlord ClubToilet and Sink Unblocking London
Let’s agree on one point. None of us wants any poor floating around on our toilet floor. Not only is it extremely unhygienic to let the drainage flow out, but it also causes an unpleasant odour which makes your washroom and its surroundings almost a no-go area.
Your drainage can be blocked due to a number of reasons. Sometimes it happens due to dirt accumulation in the water pathway while in other cases, it might be your child’s favorite Lego toy blocking the drainage. In any case, if you are a skilled DIY, unblocking it won’t be a thing. (You can check out our How to unblock your toilet guide for helpful information in this regard) However, if you still aren’t able to do it, its time to consult a professional to avoid further complications.

If we are unable to clear your blockage by completing a ‘standard unblock’ mechanical equipment may be required. More obstinate blockages require the use of high powered mechanical and jetting equipment, this is called a ‘machine unblock’.
How do you charge?
- Our engineers will always attempt to complete a standard unblock in advance of a machine unblock. You will be charged for either and standard or machine unblocks depending on the works required.
What will it cost?
- Standard unblock - Prices start from £81 + Vat (£98) depending on the urgency and date of your appointment.
- Machine unblock - Prices come with a £60 + Vat surcharge, which is payable only when the blockage is cleared.
- For deeper routed blockages that neither a standard nor machine unblock have been able to fix we will provide you with a further works quote to resolve.
- These prices do not include parts and we would quote you for work upfront, so you know exactly how much you’ll pay from the outset.

Reasons for Toilet blockage
You must have heard “prevention is better than cure”. With this in mind, it’s necessary to prevent anything that can possibly stand responsible for toilet blockages to avoid any repeats in the future. So, to avoid self-induced blockages here’s something you need to know…
Your toilet might be old
One of the main reasons for toilet blockage is using an “aged toilet”. Since the functionality of toilets declines over time due to debris build-up, the waste does not flush-off completely and accumulates in certain areas, blocking the drainage flow. Moreover, some of our fellows reduce the “fill” level below recommended, which consequently lowers the water force than the required limits. Adding to that if you notice your loo not functioning properly with each flush, Consider replacing it.
Use of Non-flushable Items
We all know that a toilet is designed to dispose of only three things. Paper, wee, and poo. Anything apart from these can cause complications. Here are they:
Although there are many more things responsible for toilet blockage, the aforementioned ones were quite common ones. As for kids, they will put anything in the toilet. Make sure nothing of the above reaches your toilet if you want it to work properly for longer.
Toilet trap
You may well know what a toilet trap is. At one hand where it prevents any dirt, smelly sewerage entering your home, its blockage will give you headaches in the form of drain overflow. This is mainly caused due to the accumulation of the above-mentioned materials. Just make sure you put nothing that can block it.
Soil Stack Vent is Blocked
Just in case you don’t know, the soil stack is a pipe-like opening in your plumbing system that provides a pathway for the unpleasant smell to be released in the atmosphere. However, it also playstyle in maintaining the internal atmospheric pressure. Since it can be clogged over time with certain things like leaves etc, it’s important to clean it periodically to ensure proper drainage. You can consult a serviceteam professional to do this task for you...

The serviceteam process
Choose your preferred method?
If not now but certainly in the future you’re likely to have something in your home or premises that needs repairing or replacing? When you do we have various ways we can approach your job;
- Serviceteam completes so many jobs during a year that we can often provide you with a fixed price for the works without attending
- Other jobs require am enquiry to be raised, so we can compile a quotation. Any photos provided will help us to assess requirements.
- If your project is large or complex, we will assign one of our qualified engineers to visit and prepare a detailed quotation.
- Alternatively, you can select serviceteam’s Pay by Time option, certainly if you have an emergency or a “to do” list made up of one or several minor jobs. When on site our engineer will appraise the works required and give an indication of how long the works are expected to take. If we are unable to complete the works within the first visit due to the need for extra time or materials, then we will provide you with a fixed price quotation for the extended works for consideration and authorisation before proceeding.
What happens next?
When booking online the details of your job, including your preferred time slot/s will be sent to our scheduling department where within one working hour, scheduling will assign the appropriately qualified engineer to your job. You will also receive an alert via email confirming your appointment. You can view details of your job and see a photo of the engineer who will be visiting. If we are unable to accommodate your job at the time requested, due to high demands on our resources, we will be in touch with alternative dates.

What if I want to cancel the appointment?
We understand that priorities and plans change, and you may need to rearrange/cancel your booking. Should this be the case please let us know as soon as possible so we can make the necessary alterations to our work schedules.

Do I need to provide parking?

The quote we have provided does not include the cost of parking and/or congestion charge which will be added to the final invoice (if applicable). Please inform your personal account manager if any special parking instructions like parking permit/free parking can be provided. For properties on the rim of the congestion zone and it is not possible for our engineer to attend without entering/clipping the charge zone, we may need to add the charge to the final bill ? Please check with your personal account manager in advance of your appointment if you’re not sure?
