Drain Clearance for Every Type of Greenwich Property

Greenwich spans historic Georgian and Victorian terraces around Blackheath and Greenwich town centre, the newer riverside developments near Woolwich, and the leafy suburban streets of Eltham and Charlton. Each brings a different drainage challenge.

Georgian & Victorian terraces — Blackheath & Greenwich

Original clay drainage under these historic terraces is prone to cracking, displacement and grease build-up over a century or more of use. CCTV surveys pinpoint exact fault locations before any repair.

Riverside developments — Woolwich & SE28

Shared drainage risers and communal waste stacks serve the flats in these newer developments. Blockages here often affect multiple units, so fast diagnosis with a drain camera before any digging is essential.

Leafy suburban streets — Eltham & Charlton

Mature trees and long garden drainage runs mean root ingress is a recurring issue here. High-pressure jetting combined with root-cutting and CCTV surveys keep these runs clear long term.

Larger detached & semi-detached homes — SE9 & SE7

Larger gardens and longer external drain runs mean silt build-up and gully blockages are common. Full-length jetting and gully clearance restore free flow across these properties.

Garden drain in Eltham kept backing up every time it rained. Turned out to be a tree root that had grown right into the pipe. Cleared it and sent us photos from the camera so we could see exactly what happened.

Shared drain problem affecting our whole block near Woolwich. Coordinated with the other flats, ran a camera survey to find the exact blockage point, and had it jetted clear the same afternoon.

Needed a pre-sale drain survey for our Blackheath terrace. Report came back with a cracked section flagged clearly, and they quoted a fair fixed price to reline it rather than dig up the garden.
