What are the early signs of a blocked drain?

Offensive smells or gurgling sounds from your toilet when flushing. The toilet can be slow to drain or You may notice the water level in the bowl changing.

What are likely causes of blocked drains?

Often the result of tree roots searching for moisture. Initially tree roots can invade through tiny cracks in the pipe but as the tree roots grow within the pipe they begin to catch any foreign objects within the drain system. This begins as a partial blockage within the drain but eventually leads to a complete blockage over time. Other causes of a blocked drain include grease and fat build up from kitchen sinks, hair deposits from shower, bath or basins and foreign objects being flushed down toilets.

When are some circumstances where a drain cannot be cleared?

The drain may be severely invaded by tree roots leading to a complete blockage. The drain may be cracked by movement of the ground around the drain or the drain may have collapsed under the weight of heavy machinery or vehicles. This can mean a small section of the drain needs to be repaired or if damage is severe the drain may need to be replaced.

Doherty's installed a tap in our warehouse. It was a particularly fiddly job and they delivered on time at a competitive price. Their staff were polite, professional and helpful.

Call Doherty Plumbing after our hot water service stopped working. Arrived within specified timeframe and in the same day. Contacted us to let us know they were on the way. Fixed this issue on good time and clearly explained what was done. Excellent service from start to finish. Felt very comfortable with them. Well done. Highly recommend.

James scheduled the job and confirmed the appointment time within hours and George fitted our toilet which involved significant modifications to the floor as well as inlet/outlet positioning. He was punctual,obliging and professional. I highly recommend Doherty to anyone requiring plumbing services. In addition the fee was competitive and reasonable. Thank you guys,you will be our go-to for future jobs.

George came; did my work quietly and respectfully. Noted a problem (big gaping crack in the pipe under the bench), and asked if we would like to change it. No pressure applied, and just added it to his list when I gave the go ahead. Would use this company again and again.
