Signs You Need a Toilet Unblocker

Water rising in the bowl

Slow flush / gurgling

Bad odours

Waste backing up

Repeated plunger use

Blocked toilet overflowing

What To Do If Your Toilet Is Overflowing

Stop flushing, avoid using nearby sinks or baths if water is backing up, and keep the area clear where possible. If the toilet cannot be used or waste water is escaping, contact us for urgent help.

Common Causes of Blocked Toilets

Common causes include too much toilet paper, wipes, sanitary products, limescale, objects dropped into the pan, or a blockage further along the soil pipe or outside drain.

Emergency Toilet Unblocking

A blocked toilet can quickly become stressful, especially in a busy home, workplace or rented property. We provide emergency toilet unblocking with clear pricing agreed before work starts.

When the Problem May Be Linked to an Outside Drain

If more than one toilet or sink is affected, drains are gurgling, or water is backing up outside, the issue may be further down the drainage system. See our drain unblocking help if the outside drain is also affected.

Clear flow fixed an excellent set price over the phone and was at my house within the hour. The problem was quickly identified and the blockage was sorted in a professional, helpful and friendly manner. I would certainly recommend Clear flow Drains.

Neil is brilliant. Got to us within an hour and half, fought with a very stuck drain cover and cleared the blockage quickly and efficiently. He even hosed down our patio. Really friendly too, couldn't have been more helpful. Highly recommended. Definitely will keep his number if any other issues arise.

I was really impressed with the team from Clear Flow Drains. They arrived on time, bright and early, and offered a fixed-rate, no-clearance–no-fee service. The issue turned out to be a piece of metal stuck to a bit of wood, but they quickly jetted it out and had the drain cleared within half an hour. The team was professional, friendly, and easy to talk to. They got straight to work and made the whole process simple and stress-free. I’d highly recommend Clear Flow Drains — their prices were very competitive, especially compared to other quotes I received for weekend and day rates. Definitely worth giving them a call.

I cannot recommend Neil at Clear Flow Drains highly enough. We had a serious drainage blockage at a commercial business I own in Birmingham city centre, and the situation needed urgent attention. After explaining the issue, Neil immediately understood the impact it was having on the business and genuinely cared about getting us back up and running as quickly as possible. What really stood out was his communication and commitment. Despite it being out of hours, Neil came out at 9pm that same evening, which was a huge relief. He arrived promptly, quickly identified the problem and professionally cleared the blockage with minimum disruption. It is rare these days to find someone who combines technical expertise with such outstanding customer service. Neil was knowledgeable, honest, reliable and clearly takes great pride in his work. Nothing felt like too much trouble, and throughout the process he kept us fully informed and reassured. If you need a drainage specialist who genuinely cares about his customers, responds quickly and delivers exactly what he promises, then Clear Flow Drains is the company to call. Exceptional service from a thoughtful, hardworking independent business owner. Thank you again, Neil.

Called this morning at 9am to book in and had a knock at the door before 10.30am to do the job! Both men were extremely polite and friendly and got to work straight away. The drain was unblocked in about 15mins, area cleaned and job completed. Would definitely recommend to friends and family. Thanks both.
