What’s included

What Our Sink & Bath Unblocking Service in Sheffield Includes

Every blockage is different, but a typical call-out follows the same steps.

  1. Finding the Blockage

    We check whether it’s in the plughole, the trap, the waste pipe or further down in the drain.

  2. Clearing It

    We remove and clean the trap and clear the waste pipe, including stubborn blockages like hardened caustic soda.

  3. Repairing if Needed

    If a trap or section of waste pipe is damaged, we replace it.

  4. Testing & Tidying Up

    We run the water to check it drains freely, then leave everything clean and tidy.

Absolutely excellent service. I had to have a sink and bath unblocked on a maisonette. It turned out to be a bigger job than expected because I had tried to use caustic soda to unblock and it had set like a rock in the pipe .Billy unblocked everything and left everything clean and tidy .He explained everything to me and made sure I was happy with the price first .He was a very professional tradesman and I would 100 percent recommend his company.

Rung Billy Emergency in the morning and got an evening appointment straight away. The service was quick, efficient and affordable. My blocked bathtub drain got fixed in no time. Convenient card payment available. Very happy with Billy Emergency and I’ll definitely use it again i the future if I need a plumber. I’d highly recommend it to anyone.

FAQ

Blocked Sink & Bath FAQs – Sheffield & South Yorkshire

Answers to the questions customers ask before booking.

Still have a question? Speak directly to your local plumber. 0114 321 2272
Why does my bath drain so slowly?

It’s usually hair and soap building up in the plughole and trap. Over time it narrows the pipe until the water barely drains.

Should I use caustic soda or drain cleaner?

We don’t recommend it. Caustic soda can set hard in the pipe and turn a simple blockage into a much bigger job.

Why does my sink smell?

Smells usually come from food, fat or soap rotting in the trap, or from a trap that has dried out. Clearing and cleaning the trap normally solves it.

Is it the sink or the drain?

If only one sink or bath is slow, the blockage is usually in its own trap or waste pipe. If several are slow or gurgling, the problem is likely in the drain. See our blocked drains service.

How can I stop it happening again?

Use a hair catcher in the bath and shower, don’t pour fat down the kitchen sink, and scrape food into the bin before washing up.

Do you charge for call-outs?

No. We never charge for call-outs, and we offer free estimates.
