Debbie asked 4 years ago My tenant has blocked kitchen drain by pouring oil in it, she wants me to pay to get it unblocked, it is not my responsibility because blocked it, or is it?has anyone else had a similar problem?
Zoe answered 4 years ago Get the plumber to set out the reason why the drain was blocked i.e oil. Send that to the tenant with a covering letter and request she pay the cost.
DesperateLL answered 4 years ago Send her a link to the Sink Unblocker product....it's around £1.75-£2.99...should do the trick...all depends how long they have been pouring oil/ fats doemwn the sink. Keep a record of the advice....Anglian Water used to have an advisory on how to deal with cooking fat on their website....or just Google " fatbergs" and ensure this is covered in your quarterly Inspection agenda...f/up by getting them to inform you they have done it ...if you simply pay a plumber to unblock it, they will do it again.....
