Slow-Draining Kitchen Sink in Yorkshire – Causes & Solutions
Is your kitchen sink taking ages to empty? A slow-draining kitchen sink is one of
the most common issues we deal with across Yorkshire – usually caused by fat, oil, grease and food waste building up
in the pipes.

Why Your Kitchen Sink Is Draining Slowly
- Fat, oil and grease (FOG) coating the inside of pipes
- Food scraps getting caught in the trap or waste pipe
- Soap and detergent residue building up over time
- Partial blockage further along the kitchen waste line
Even with a strainer, small bits of food and fat can still pass and gradually narrow the pipe, leading to slow drainage.
DIY Checks Before Calling for Help
- Remove and clean the sink strainer and plug.
- Check under the sink – you may be able to unscrew and clean the trap.
- Pour very hot (not boiling) water down the sink in stages.
If the sink is still draining slowly or begins to make gurgling noises, it’s likely the blockage is further along the pipework.
