Right Ive just been outside my kitchen window having a ciggie and Ive noticed that finally the drain has blocked up due to all the fag ends ive been throwing down there. Does anyone how to unblock a drain without a plumber?. Ive had my arm down the putrid filth all morning dragging out endless fag ends but although the water is draining slowly, the colour of it it still questionable. Ive chucked 2 kettles full of boling water down, not really had much effect. Any ideas?.

Ack! I hate plumbing  Sounds like you need a plumber's auger or "snake". The rotating wire will "grab" bits of the drain clog as it rotates through. If that doesn't work, I think you're officially in deep sh!t.  |

Load of White Spirit down the drain and a lit match/fag? Seemed to clear all the drains in that 'On the Buses' film at the holiday camp.

Drain unblocked, cost £140 quid, turns out it was the builders next door shoving gravel into the drains that did it. Ive been trying to get some money off the foreman who looks like he could crush me with his little finger.
