Undoubtedly, a blocked sink is one of the most frequent calls we receive.
No matter how conscientious we are about stopping food debris from going down the sink, inevitably some always does.
Need descaling or fat removal services? Call todayEven after using a washing-up liquid which should emulsify (break down) fats, debris can collect in the u-bend pipework and build up. This then mixes with the bits from the washing machine or dishwasher, and snap, you’ve got a blockage.
We deal with this in the standard way of removing the build-up by vacuuming out debris first and then using high-pressure jetting. Sometimes we need to use different nozzles depending on the build-up, ie fat, scale or roots.
If you notice any of these signs, our professional team can help.
Our service begins with a thorough assessment to determine the level of buildup in your pipes. We then use a combination of high-pressure jetting, specialist nozzles, and safe chemical treatments to remove scale, fat, and grease deposits. At West Sussex Drains we always use the best equipment needed for such jobs.

Fat, oil, and grease from cooking and cleaning can solidify inside your pipes over time, especially when mixed with food debris and soap scum. This buildup gradually narrows the pipe, slowing drainage and increasing the risk of blockages.
Descaling removes hardened mineral deposits, known as scale, that accumulate in pipes due to hard water. If left untreated, scale can reduce water flow, damage pipe interiors, and lead to persistent blockages. Our descaling process restores full pipe capacity, improving drainage efficiency.
For commercial kitchens, grease traps should typically be emptied every 1 to 3 months, depending on usage. If not maintained regularly, they can overflow, causing bad smells, slow drainage, and even non-compliance with environmental regulations.
We use high-pressure water jetting, specialist nozzles, and environmentally-friendly chemical treatments to break down and flush out fat, grease, and scale. Our approach ensures thorough cleaning without damaging your pipes.
Yes, you can reduce fat buildup by disposing of oils and grease in the bin rather than pouring them down the sink. Using sink strainers to catch food debris and running hot water with detergent after washing up, can also help. However, professional cleaning is still recommended for long-term maintenance.
