We had a blocked drain at our old house which I managed to clear by sticking my gloved hand down and wiggling it about. The bad news was the fumes that came up the drain after the gunge dissipated made me throw up over the patio.

I remember my drains blocking on Christmas day of all days. There was no way I could afford a call out on that day (can you imagine the cost), so I borrowed some drain rods.

Just a few tips. If you have a large enough inspection chamber, then empty as much water/waste that has built up in the chamber first (I emptied in the road drains).

Then using the drain rods, making sure that none of the pipes/attachments come loose.

Once unblocked ( and believe me its so satisying), wash through with a hose.

Lastly, as these things can happen again I suggest obtaining some kind of insurance maybe directline.

Don't forget to report back on what caused the blockage and, if it's any sort of shared waste/sewer pipe, which one of your neighbours you're blaming for it and why.

What you need is a small black and white gentleman with a big brush and muck on his face.

I understand this one answers to the name of Dwayne.

And there was me thinking that was his name at the bottom of the picture:

"A Sweep"
