Standard residential drain jetting in the UK usually costs around £150 to £300, and more difficult work can rise to £250 to £400.

To clear a blocked kitchen sink, start with the least invasive sequence. Remove standing water, try hot or boiling water, then use baking soda and vinegar and leave it to work for 10–15 minutes, then move to a kitchen plunger, and if that still doesn't shift it, check the P-trap under the sink. If those … Read more
