I have tried to unblock my bathroom sink and managed to undo the u bend pipe and clear any blockage inside.
But there is still a blockage in the pipe leading out of the wall but I can’t see anyway to undo this section. Please advise ASAP. Thank you.

That pipe is solvent welded, cannot undo.
Use a flexible drain cleaning wire.

Thanks. I’ve tried that already.
 
some one quoted soda crystals in water in previous post ,don t know if that works or not,
if you go to a merchants and tell them your problem they will give you some thing to pour down the drain that will clear it,
 
I had this situation recently. I resolved it by cutting the pipe where it came outside and replaced the section. I used a push fit on the outside so if it happened again I had access from both ends.
 
Bear in mind if you cut the pipe you'll need a compression fitting to reconnect - as push fit waste tends to be a smaller diameter than solvent weld.

Where does it run to and how long is the pipe run

I was stupid enough not to check the position of the pipes under the tiles when installing a toilet and drilled right through the center of a 16 mm copper water pipe. I exposed the pipe by removing a ~30cm section of the plastic sleeve and a ~10 cm section of the pipe around the hole. Several...
