Just had a quote from dynorod to unblock my outside drain. £200 nearly. Its has the kitchen sink and washing machine going into it. Must be able to do this myself and safe the money to spend on the family. Any tips advice greatfully received, thank all.

1. Remove drain cover
2. Put on washing-up gloves
3. Stick hands or pointy thing into disgusting stinky mess and move around a bit.
4.?????
5. Profit!

HAve you tried the really nasty drain unblocker from Robert Dyas.

The one that comes in a protective bag.

Pour loads down there!!

Plunge a few times, probably lumps of limescale blocking it, job done.

Machine Mart do a couple of cheaper sets

Spirit of Salts, a couple of litres. Take off whatever cover is over it, pour one bottle in slowly and stand back. Don't breath in the fumes cos your lungs won't like it. Leave for about ten minutes then whack the second one down. You might get a load of brown gunk bubbling up but you can wash it down with plenty of water afterwards.
If this doesn't work get the 200 quid ready.

Try some builders acid, or pop to screwfix and get some rods and try to sort it. If not return them for a refund, ewwww.

1. Tie a stiff brush to the dogs nose.
2. Repeatedly throw doggy treats down the drain.
