Kitchen Blockages

Kitchen Sink Blockages Cleared Quickly & Professionally

A blocked kitchen sink has a habit of bringing everything to a halt. Whether the water is draining away slowly, backing up into the sink or refusing to go anywhere at all, it’s one of those problems that quickly becomes impossible to ignore.

At Chelsea Plumbing & Heating Co., we help homeowners, landlords and businesses across Chelsea clear blocked kitchen sinks and deal with the plumbing problems that often cause them.

From minor blockages to more stubborn drainage issues, our experienced plumbers will find the cause of the problem and get your kitchen back to normal as quickly as possible.

Why Do Kitchen Sinks Become Blocked?

Unlike bathroom drains, kitchen sinks have to cope with food waste, cooking oils, grease and washing-up residue every day.

Over time, these materials can stick to the inside of waste pipes, gradually reducing the space for water to flow through. Eventually, the blockage becomes severe enough that the sink starts draining very slowly or stops draining altogether.

Many blockages build up over weeks or even months before they become obvious.

Some of the most common causes include:
  • Grease and fat building up inside the pipe
  • Food scraps
  • Coffee grounds
  • Cooking oils
  • Soap residue
  • Damaged waste pipes
  • Poorly installed pipework
  • Objects accidentally dropped into the sink

More Than Just Unblocking Drains

Our aim isn’t simply to remove the blockage and leave.

We’ll investigate why it happened in the first place.

If we find damaged pipework, worn fittings or another plumbing issue that’s contributing to the problem, we’ll explain what we’ve found and discuss the most suitable repair.

Fixing the cause often helps prevent the blockage from returning a few weeks later.

The Signs of a Blocked Kitchen Sink

You don’t always need a completely blocked sink before there’s a problem.

Look out for signs such as:

  • Water draining away slowly
  • Water backing up into the sink
  • Bad smells coming from the plughole
  • Gurgling sounds when the sink empties
  • Water pooling in the sink
  • Overflowing waste pipes

If you notice any of these warning signs, it’s worth getting the problem looked at before it becomes more serious.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why does my kitchen sink keep blocking?

Grease, fat, food waste and soap residue gradually build up inside the waste pipe, restricting the flow of water until a blockage develops.

Can I clear the blockage myself?

Sometimes a simple blockage can be cleared at home, but if the problem keeps coming back or the sink won’t drain at all, it’s usually best to have it properly investigated.

Why does my sink smell even when it's empty?

Bad smells often come from food waste or grease trapped inside the waste pipe. Clearing the blockage usually removes the unpleasant odour as well.

Do you repair damaged pipes too?

Yes. If we discover damaged pipework or another plumbing fault while clearing the blockage, we can usually carry out the repair during the same visit.

Do you keep plumbing parts in stock?

Yes. Our Kings Road trade counter stocks many of the plumbing components used every day, allowing us to complete many repairs without waiting for deliveries.
