hi guys

i have a very slow drain on my bath and sink in the bath room and in the kitchen. i have taken the ubends off to make sure that i don't have a block in them. strange thing is that i can hear and see air coming back up the bathroom sink ubend.

thanks in advance ells

Clearly there is a blockage.

Do any of your waste pipes have rodding points?

Have you checked that they're not frozen?

have a look at top of soil stack it may have some sort of blockage stopping a proper air flow allowing water to drain away

I had 2 calls this w/end with the freezing weather where waste pipes incorrectly fitted with bows had frozen solid.
Have a look o/s and check or just wait until summer to wash again
