Good that it is sorted
How did you 'pop' the grilles off? I cleared my pipes from underneath - being afraid to touch the grilles as I thought they probably held the rubber funnels in place and hence formed the seal.
The other place to look at is the front scuttle: the drain pipes get clogged very easily.
