Blocked toilets: common causes
Certain materials simply aren’t meant to be flushed. Roto‑Rooter notes that excessive toilet paper, baby wipes and “flushable” wipes, paper towels, feminine hygiene products, dental floss and cotton pads are frequent culprits behind toilet clogs.
The same article explains that hair, grease and oil do not dissolve in water and can build up, causing blockages. PK Plumbing warns that flushing inappropriate items like wet wipes, sanitary products, cotton pads and nappies can create stubborn blockages; grease and fat from kitchen drains, tree root infiltration, soap residue and structural issues can also lead to blocked toilets.
GOV.UK estimates that wet wipes contribute to around 94% of sewer blockages, so always dispose of wipes and hygiene products in a bin. Acting early can prevent sewage overflows, property damage and expensive repairs.

Frequently asked questions
When should I request help for drain unblocking?
If water is backing up, the WC will not clear, drains are very slow, there is standing water outside, or there are persistent bad smells, it is best to request help promptly. Early drain unblocking can reduce the risk of property damage, wastewater exposure and a more serious blockage.
Who is responsible for a blocked drain?
In most cases, the homeowner or landlord is responsible for drains and private sewers up to the point where they connect with the public sewer. Ofwat explains that this connection point is usually at the boundary of the property. If the blockage is in pipework owned by the sewerage company, United Utilities says it will usually clear it for free.
What causes most blocked drains?
Common causes include wet wipes, fat, oil, grease, food waste, silt, leaves, scale build-up, root ingress and damaged pipework. GOV.UK states that wet wipes contribute to 94% of sewer blockages, which is why wipes should be put in the bin rather than flushed.
Can I request help for a blocked toilet?
Yes. You can submit an enquiry for a blocked toilet, slow flushing toilet, overflowing toilet, or related drainage issue.
Is it safe to open a drain or manhole myself?
You can usually check for obvious surface debris around a visible outside drain, but deeper chambers and confined spaces should be treated carefully. The Health and Safety Executive warns that confined spaces can involve risks such as noxious fumes, reduced oxygen, flooding, drowning and asphyxiation.
