Recommend a sink unblocker

Short on time this weekend to go removing pipes so can anyone recommend something I could pour down a slow flowing sink to unblock it that actually works?

Thanks as usual

    Take the time to do it properly and without the use of toxic chemicals. You don't even need a wrench usually, as plastic sink traps are only hand tight. You are talking 20mins tops.
    I can afford anything that I want.
    Just so long as I don't want much.

    Forget chemicals, use a drain snake to remove the physical obstruction.,
    But first remove the sink trap and clean that as above, 8 times out of 10 that's where the problem is.
    No free lunch, and no free laptop ;)
