How to reduce the risk of a blocked drain
There are various different reasons drains overflow. It could be down to localised flooding or invasive roots from nearby shrubs and trees. There are, however, a few things that you can do to help prevent blockages.
Daily kitchen waste and bathroom hygiene routines are key players in the formation of a solid barrier in your drain. Most blockages begin with a sticky base layer of fat from butter, lard and oils used in food preparation. From there, hair and other debris such as food waste, fruit pips and other fragments can become attached to the sticky fat and start to accumulate.
A good place to start is being mindful of what goes down your plugholes. Avoid pouring fat into your kitchen sink and, where possible, install drain protectors to catch and prevent hair and food waste from being washed down the drain.

After noticing that the house was unusually cold, we found that the heating wasn’t coming on and that our hot water had also failed. We called the team at No 1 PHD who dispatched an engineer to investigate. After discovering that the culprit was a faulty boiler part, they ordered in a new part and got it fitted as quickly as possible. The guys were great, and we couldn’t be happier.
Mr Lincoln
For days, we’ve noticed a foul smell coming from outside and a gurgling sound coming from one of the drains. Whenever it would rain, the area around it would flood slightly and take ages to drain. We tried buying drain unblockers, but none seemed effective. Eventually, we turned to No 1 PHD and were left wondering why we didn’t do this sooner.
