Drain blockages can occur for many reasons. In kitchens, grease, fat, food waste, and coffee grounds often build up inside pipes over time.

If you notice any of these issues, it's a good idea to arrange a professional inspection before the problem worsens. Our team is on hand for efficient plumbing repairs and drainage solutions for homeowners in West Bromwich, Worcester and the surrounding areas.
While shop-bought drain cleaners may provide a temporary fix, they often fail to remove stubborn blockages completely and can even damage pipework if used repeatedly. Professional plumbers use specialist equipment, including drain rods and high-pressure water jetting, to identify and remove blockages safely and efficiently.
Choosing our professional drain unblocking service offers several advantages:
These issues are safe to leave short-term or longer, but you should schedule a routine visit from a plumbing specialist or boiler engineer. At Allison Plumbing and Heating, we complete all plumbing and boiler repairs, heating system servicing, and new boiler installations to the highest standard and in line with current regulations.
Good drain maintenance can significantly reduce the likelihood of future problems. Avoid pouring cooking fats or oils down sinks and use drain strainers to catch food and hair. Only flush toilet paper down the toilet. Regular maintenance and occasional professional cleaning can also help keep your drainage system in excellent condition.
