From shared outside drains in Richmond’s period streets to kitchen and bathroom blockages in Twickenham and East Sheen, 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 Barnes and Mortlake.
Tree roots, silt build-up 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 — particularly near mature street trees around Richmond and Kew.
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.
Internal waste pipe blockage, single fixture
Cleared without removing the pan where possible
Clear grease, scale and debris from the full pipe
Pinpoint blockage location and cause
Manhole or external gully blockage
Remove tree root ingress from drain run
All standard cleaning and single-section repairs are fixed-price, confirmed before work begins — no call-out charge. 12-month workmanship guarantee on every job.
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.
Fast arrival for drain call-outs across TW1, TW2, TW9, TW10, TW11, TW12— without the delays of London-wide dispatch.
We identify the exact cause and location of a blockage before clearing it, avoiding repeat call-outs for the same recurring issue.
From Richmond's century-old shared drain runs to newer developments around Twickenham — we know where blockages typically form in each system, including root ingress from the borough's mature trees.
The same fixed pricing applies whether you're in TW9 Richmond or TW11 Teddington. No zone uplift, no call-out charge.
All drain clearance work carries our 12-month workmanship guarantee, issued in writing before we leave your property.

Kitchen sink in our Richmond 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 Kew. CCTV survey found tree roots had got into the pipe — cleared and explained clearly what caused it.
Toilet blocked in our Twickenham flat right before guests arrived. Engineer came same afternoon and had it sorted within the hour — no mess, fair price.

Yes. Blocked drains across Richmond upon Thames are typically cleared the same day you call, including sinks, toilets and external drains.
Yes. Some of the borough's older 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.
