Heating and Plumbing Digging out drains
“...Interesting note - Most people use a mini digger to dig out drains, sometimes I do too. In my experience however I've usually dug down to the blockage in the time it takes to collect the digger.....”
Drainage
Most gas engineers will not touch drains, they think it's beneath them...
I am happy to come round to unblock toilets, drains, stack pipes, gullies, gutters etc. In fact I would be happy to. Whether it's blocked solid or just slow, I have the equipment, expertise and ability.
I carry commercial drain rooters, rods, a jetter if needed. The only thing I don't carry is a drain camera. I do hire one occasionally, when needed, but in my experience it often doesn't help to know what it looks like down there.

Drainage Tips
Kitchen Sinks
Be aware RICE, CHIP FAT and COFFEE GROUNDS block drains.
Slow drains
You can try drain chemicals (BE CAREFUL) they are cheaper than me, or running hot water.....
Washing machines
If water comes up in the kitchen sink when the washing machine drains, this is an early indication of a problem. If your going to try to resolve it yourself, now is the time to try.
Outside gullies
The small outside gullies - normally outside kitchen window - these can be cleared by removing the grill, reaching down and scooping out the contents.
