What causes blocked drains in London homes?

Blocked drains in London homes are typically caused by fat and grease build-up in kitchen drains, hair and soap scum in bathroom drains, or root intrusion and collapsed pipe sections in external drains. Older properties in London with ceramic or cast-iron pipework are more vulnerable to scale build-up and joint deterioration. A professional plumber or drainage specialist can use CCTV surveys, high-pressure jetting, or manual rodding to locate and clear the blockage. Post on Quote2 to find a local specialist quickly.
