We specialise in the clearing and unblocking of…
Blocked drains
Blocked drains in Plymouth are a common drainage problem, often caused by drains blocked by waste, food waste, mineral build-up, tree roots, or foreign objects. Non-flushable items frequently cause significant drainage issues because they do not dissolve, leading to stubborn blockages. Our team uses advanced CCTV drain surveys to efficiently identify cracks, collapses, or hidden issues in blocked drains, ensuring thorough diagnostics and effective solutions. We are committed to providing efficient service with prompt response times, as appreciated by many of our customers, to resolve your drainage problems quickly and reliably.
Toilets
Toilet blockages are commonly caused by waste such as wet wipes, sanitary products, nappies, paper towels, and excessive toilet paper, especially in older systems. Toilet paper can also lead to blockages if it accumulates and becomes too thick for water to dissolve.
Baths
Bath drains commonly clog due to a mixture of soap scum, hair, and residue from bath products, creating stubborn blockages that slow drainage or cause water to sit in the tub. A proper unblocking cleans out these deposits, restores smooth water flow, and helps prevent recurring drainage problems.
Sinks
Sink blockages often occur when grease, food particles, coffee grounds, or bathroom products solidify inside the pipework. This build-up narrows the waste pipe and eventually stops water from draining away. Effective sink unblocking removes the obstruction, flushes out any remaining deposits, and gets your basin flowing freely again.
Showers
Blocked shower drains are usually caused by a build-up of hair, soap residue, and general bathroom debris. When these materials accumulate over time, they restrict water flow and leave you standing in pooled, slow‑draining water. Professional unblocking quickly restores proper drainage by removing the blockage at its source and ensuring the pipework is fully cleared to prevent the issue from returning.
Gullies
Outdoor gullies can become blocked with leaves, mud, silt, and general debris washed in by the weather. When a gully becomes obstructed, it can lead to surface water pooling, bad smells, or even flooding. Professional gully clearance removes the build-up, cleans the chamber, and ensures the system can safely handle rainwater and household waste flows.
Stack pipes
Stack pipes (soil and vent pipes) can become blocked by internal scale build-up, wipes, fat deposits, or structural issues inside the vertical pipe system. When they block, you may notice slow-draining fixtures, foul smells, or gurgling noises from multiple points in the property. Unblocking the stack restores correct ventilation and waste flow throughout the drainage system.
Removal of tree roots, locating manholes and more
Blocked drains result from factors such as root ingress or pipe collapses, and require a tailored approach for effective resolution. Tree roots can breach older clay or concrete pipes, causing severe obstructions, especially in green areas of Plymouth. Mechanical root cutting uses specialised equipment to remove tree roots that have infiltrated drains. Our engineers are well-versed in identifying the root causes of drainage issues and can provide expert advice on appropriate long-term solutions. For instance where a pipe is damaged, we can provide pipe relining or re-rounding solutions.
Most importantly, we understand the urgency of drainage issues and offer a 24/7/365 service, ensuring that you’re just a phone call away from resolving any kind of drain problem.
Drain clearance is an important part of home maintenance. Clogged drains can cause water to back up into your home, leading to water damage and mould.
You can sometimes perform drain cleaning yourself using a plunger or a drain snake, but if you have a serious clog you’ll need to call a professional.
Coopers Drainage can quickly and easily unclog your drains, so you can get back to your normal routine. Our experienced and professional team will have your drains flowing freely in no time.

Toilet Unblocking Services in Plymouth and all Surrounding Areas
At Coopers Drainage, our engineers are used to unblocking toilets for our customers, including homeowners, so no matter what’s causing your blocked toilet, we’ll be able to have it working in no time. Non-flushable items are a common cause of toilet blockages and do not dissolve, leading to significant drainage issues. Drains can also become blocked if they have never been thoroughly unblocked before or if they are weathered or too tight.
At the first sign of a toilet blockage, it’s important to act quickly to prevent the issue from worsening and causing further disruption to your home. We’ll carry out an investigation to identify the cause of the blockage and then provide the best solution to get your toilet unblocked and back to normal.
We know that a blocked toilet can be a big inconvenience, which is why we respond quickly to prevent the problem from getting worse. We’ll carry out an investigation to figure out what’s causing the blockage, and then provide the best solution to unblock the toilet. Depending on the cause of the blockage, we might need to use drain jetting, excavation methods, gully, rotary mechanical drain cleaning, or suggest another solution. Whatever the problem is, you can be assured that our professional toilet unblockers will fix it. If you’re dealing with a blocked toilet, and the signs of the blockage are evident or worsening, it’s time to get in touch! The sooner you call for help, the less disruptive the toilet unblock will be.
For minor clogs, homeowners can try using a plunger or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar as a DIY method before calling a professional. Clearing a blocked toilet is best left to the professionals, so if you notice any of these signs, don’t hesitate to call for help. Avoiding a toilet blockage can save you from a lot of unpleasantness, so it’s best to get to grips with the problem as soon as possible.
Sink Unblocking in Plymouth & Surrounding Areas
There are many ways to try and clear a blocked sink, but not all of them are effective. Some methods, like running hot water or using a plunger, can shift a minor blockage. However, more serious blockages may require professional help.
If your sink is draining slowly, it is probably because there is a blockage in the pipe. In Plymouth, many homes have older pipes that are prone to corrosion, misalignment, or collapse, which can contribute to sink blockages. Additionally, coastal debris such as sand and dust can enter the drainage system and cause further blockages. If there is standing water, this suggests that the problem is beyond the u-bend and will require more force than a plunger can provide. We can quickly unblock your sink by clearing away any food, grease, scale or debris in the system. Our engineers are experienced in unblocking kitchen sinks across Plymouth and many surrounding areas. We even have experts available who respond to emergency callouts 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
We can unblock any type of sink quickly and easily. Our experienced engineers have all the necessary tools to clear even the most stubborn of blockages. So whether it’s your kitchen sink or bathroom wash basin, we can help.
