Is it blocked and going down, or blocked solid?
How old is the house?
Is the gulley plastic or fired clay? Clay is more likely to be cracked or broken
Does anybody pour cooking fat down the sink? Stop that immediately. Buy some Washing Soda Crystals (on the Laundry shelf)
Scoop the contents of the gulley out with a large kitchen spoon and you will see if the outlet is blocked or broken
Post some photos.

Chemicals are dangerous and a waste of time, mechanical means is always the best way. Set of drain roads, 4" Plunger on the end and a vigorous plunging will sort most gullies out.
All sorted now thanks, got the missus a couple of bin bags lol.
Will look for the power washer attachment though thanks, they sound just the trick
