In a well known supermarket with a four letter name A*** and probably elsewhere such as your usual eBay searches, one can buy a Drain Snake. Long and flexible with a lovely little brush on the end. Workd ok on hand wash basins.

That might help with those scuttle drains you mentioned ...

Dave, possibly a little good news for you now.

My olde Rabone Chesterman finds the bristle brush head to be 13mm diametrically. 28mm long. e&oe
The supporting wire is coiled. I don't want to measure it. ABOUT 900mm long.

The particular item is from evriholder of California

https://www.evriholder.com/product-page/drain-snake

but made in China

ASDA purvey these for £3 each. Hung on one of those vertical displays they put along the sides of aisles.

This might help you.

Stephen
