Immediate steps
Stop using the affected toilet, sink or appliance.
Keep children and pets away from wastewater.
Note whether one fixture or several are affected.
Call with your postcode and explain any overflow or property flooding.
When a small local blockage may be manageable
A suitable plunger may help a minor fixture blockage if there is room to work without overflowing and no chemical cleaner has been added. Stop if water rises, the fixture is damaged or gentle attempts fail. Do not force rods or remove heavy chamber covers. Baking soda, vinegar and boiling water are not a dependable remedy for an external blockage.

Frequently asked questions
Should I keep flushing a blocked toilet?
Stop flushing if the water is rising. More water can cause an overflow. Avoid using other affected fixtures until the problem is assessed.
Does one slow fixture mean the main drain is blocked?
Not necessarily. The restriction may be local to its trap or waste pipe. Several affected fixtures can suggest a downstream problem, but inspection is needed to establish the cause.
When might CCTV inspection be useful?
It can help when blockages recur, the cause is uncertain or a repair needs evidence. Ask whether inspection and a report are included in the agreed work.
Will every blockage be cleared with jetting?
No. The engineer selects a method based on access, pipe condition and the obstruction. Damaged or collapsed pipework may need separate repairs.
