COMMON CAUSES

What Causes Blocked Drains in Bexley

Blockages build up gradually before they cause a full stoppage — these are the causes our engineers see most often across Bexley’s mix of period cottages, semis and family homes.

Fat, Oil & Food Waste

The most common cause of kitchen blockages, especially in Bexleyheath and Barnehurst’s family homes.

Wipes & Sanitary Products

Even “flushable” wipes don’t break down and are a leading cause of toilet and downstream blockages.

Tree Root Intrusion

Common in Sidcup and Welling’s tree-lined streets, where roots can crack and enter older clay drain pipes.

Ageing or Damaged Pipework

Original drainage in Bexley Village’s period cottages can collapse or shift over time.

⚠️ Early warning signs of a developing blockage

  • Water draining slower than usual
  • Water backing up when using another appliance
  • Gurgling sounds from toilets or plugholes
  • Damp patches near external drain covers
  • Unpleasant smells from drains or plugholes
  • Multiple fixtures affected at once

THE PROCESS

How We Clear a Blocked Drain in Bexley

A methodical process to clear the blockage and identify the underlying cause, not just a temporary fix.

Diagnose the Blockage

We identify whether the blockage is local to one fixture or affecting a wider run, and agree a fixed price before starting.

Clear the Blockage

Using rodding, high-pressure jetting or mechanical clearance depending on the type and severity of the blockage.

CCTV Survey if Needed

For recurring blockages, a camera survey identifies the root cause — whether that's roots, damage, or a collapsed section.

Test & Clean Up

A full flow test to confirm the blockage is cleared, with the work area left clean and tidy before we leave.

CAPABILITY

Every Type of Blockage, Cleared

From a single slow sink to a full external drain blockage, matched to your Bexley property.

Internal Drain Clearance

Kitchen sinks, bathroom fixtures and toilets cleared quickly using rodding or mechanical methods.

Most common callout

External & Manhole Clearance

FAQs

Blocked Drains in Bexley — Questions Answered

Most blocked drain callouts across Bexley are resolved the same day you call, across all postcodes DA5, DA6, DA7, DA14, DA15 and DA16.
Internal drain clearance starts from £89, external or manhole clearance from £125, and a full CCTV drain survey with written report is £165. High-pressure jetting is quoted separately after assessment where needed.
Recurring blockages usually point to an underlying cause — tree root intrusion, a damaged or collapsed section of pipe, or a persistent build-up of fat and debris at one point in the system. A CCTV survey identifies the exact cause so it can be properly addressed.
A CCTV survey uses a waterproof camera to inspect the inside of your drainage system, identifying blockages, damage or root ingress without digging speculatively. It's particularly useful if you've had repeated blockages in the same area.
Yes. We cover the entire Bexley borough — Bexley Village, Bexleyheath, Barnehurst, Sidcup, Blackfen and Welling — postcodes DA5, DA6, DA7, DA14, DA15 and DA16.
For a single slow-draining sink, a plunger or a mix of hot water and washing-up liquid can sometimes help. Avoid chemical drain unblockers where water is already backed up, as they can react unpredictably with standing water. If the problem persists or affects multiple fixtures, it's best to book a proper clearance.
