From shared outside drains in Forest Gate and East Ham’s terraced streets to kitchen and bathroom blockages in Stratford’s new-build flats, here are the drain problems our engineers are called out for most often across the borough.
A build-up of grease, soap scum and hair gradually narrows internal pipework, causing water to drain more and more slowly — often the first sign of a blockage forming.
Wipes, sanitary products and excessive toilet paper are the most common cause of toilet blockages across the borough's terraced housing, where waste pipe runs are often long and narrow.
Gurgling sounds from a plughole or a persistent bad smell from a drain usually indicates a partial blockage or blocked air vent further down the system, common in older terraces across Manor Park and Plaistow.
Silt build-up, tree roots and misconnected pipework can block external drains serving several properties on the same run, a recurring issue on some of the borough's older streets around East Ham and West Ham.
A clear, methodical process to identify the blockage and clear it properly, rather than just pushing it further down the line.
We identify which fixtures are affected and get an initial sense of whether the blockage is isolated to your property or part of a shared drain run.
Where needed, a CCTV camera is passed through the drain to pinpoint the exact location and cause of the blockage before any clearance work begins.
The blockage is cleared using high-pressure water jetting, removing grease, scale and debris from the full width of the pipe rather than just puncturing through it.
Flow is tested to confirm the blockage is fully cleared, and the work is covered by our 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Cost depends on the location of the blockage, whether a CCTV survey is needed, and the length of drain run affected. All prices are confirmed before we attend — no call-out charge.

Kitchen sink in our Forest Gate house kept backing up every few weeks. Turned out to be years of grease build-up further down the line — high-pressure jetting cleared it completely.
External drain kept overflowing after heavy rain in East Ham. CCTV survey found tree roots had got into the pipe — cleared and explained clearly what caused it.
Toilet blocked in our Stratford flat right before guests arrived. Engineer came same afternoon and had it sorted within the hour — no mess, fair price.

Repeated blockages in the same spot often indicate a structural issue — root ingress, a pipe joint that has shifted, or ground movement affecting an older drain run, common across the borough's Victorian and Edwardian housing. A CCTV survey identifies the underlying cause rather than just clearing the symptom.
Yes. Some of the borough's older terraced streets have drains shared between several properties, meaning a blockage further down the line can affect neighbouring houses. A CCTV survey confirms whether the issue is isolated to your property or part of a shared system, which may involve the local water authority.
