Waffy, I am not in the drain unblocking business, but if the blockage is not too bad I have a set of drainage rods you’re more than welcome to use to try to unblock it

Screwfix do a good drain clearing stuff, can't remember name of it though and are open on Sundays.

Where abouts are the drains blocked, why is it so twisty, is there cover on the other side of the blockage that is less twisty to get to? If you can't get rods down, how about HP hose? Can you tell we have frequent trouble with our drains? We too have rods if you need a set.

ETA: any idea what the blockage is?
