Why not buy some drain rods & clean it yourself? http://www.buy4now.ie/woodiesdiy/productdetail.aspx?pid=12057&loc=P&catid=101.12.26. Much less expensive that getting a company out.

Hi, yeah the rods screw together; just make sure you tighten them properly together. Put something like this http://www.buy4now.ie/woodiesdiy/productdetail.aspx?pid=12059&loc=P&catid=101.12.26 on the end of the first rod & insert it half way down the drain, add the next rod & push & keep adding the rods on as you push them down. Try to use a push/pulling back motion instead of twisting as this could loosen the rods & allow one to fall off in the drain. Hope this is helpful. Its not a difficult job more of a messy one. Hope you learnt you lesson about not putting wipes down the drain.

If you've never done this before- get someone out- the last thing you want is rods stuck down the pipes too. Any local newletter/newspaper will normally have tradesmen at the back who offer local services, rodding would normally be one.
