I have a very long (15m), almost horizontal, external waste-pipe

The flow down this pipe does not seem as fast as it used to be.
I'm wondering what the best method is to clear the pipe?

What is wrong with a long stick?

Was this a serious suggestion?

Yes, a garden cane or similar could clear a pipe. I would then try Tim's
suggestion of a "cleaner" with the end blocked off after the stick
suggestion.

Yes... I always imagine the plumbing in my rented house - full of bends and
no inspection caps, so chemical terrorism is the only way.

But sticks/rods are good if it is straight and/or accessible via caps...
