Heroes and villains of 2011Who were your heroes or villains of the last year, and why? Who inspired you? Who had you kicking the cat across the room? They don't have to be well known, you might even want to laud the achievements of your binman. (Note that "Nick Clegg nuff said" answers puts you straight onto our naughty list)

If all the sinks in the flat are blocked, chances are it's a problem further in in the building.As such, it is the building owner's responsibility to maintain the drainage.
Amazing lack of knowledge about social housing on some people's part here.
Another thing worth a try is a plunger, very hot water and a fair whack of washing-up liquid. If that doesn't work, then the caustic.

The most effective stain removers and drain unblockers are highly alkaline detergents.Therefore, one might reasonably suppose that a mixture of caustic soda and washing up liquid would work very well - though you'd need to mix them up using cold water, as caustic soda generates a lot of heat when it's dissolved.

Just be bloody careful.Caustic soda is one of the best agents for destroying eyes that there is. If you're using a plunger, wear some eye protection.

Thanks for the help, and the carpets in the hallway. I didn't notice the flood until I got home and yeah I've spoke to some neighbours they have the same problem.
I'll try this caustic soda tomorrow. Cheers b3ta.
