Domestic plumbing across London and Essex
Blocked drains and waste pipes in London and Essex
Slow-draining sinks, standing bath water and blocked toilets are more than an inconvenience. We help with domestic drainage and waste-pipe problems in London and Essex homes.
Is one fitting blocked, or several?
A blockage at a single sink may be close to the trap or waste connection. When several fittings are affected, the problem may be further along a shared waste pipe. Tell us which fixtures are slow, whether water backs up elsewhere and whether there are unusual smells or gurgling sounds.
Our listed drainage services cover blocked sinks, baths, toilets and domestic waste pipes. We do not advertise CCTV surveys, specialist jetting or repairs to public sewers. If the issue appears to be outside the household pipework, we can discuss whether your water company or a specialist drainage service is the right next contact.
Clear the problem and reduce repeat blockages
Avoid repeatedly flushing a toilet that is filling towards the rim, and stop using fittings if waste water is backing up. Keep children and pets away from overflowed waste water. If you have used a drain-cleaning chemical, tell us exactly what it was; do not mix different products.
After the blockage is dealt with, it is worth considering what contributed to it. Cooking fats, wipes and accumulated hair can affect household drainage. A recurring issue may need investigation of the waste-pipe arrangement rather than another temporary clearance. Send a non-urgent enquiry or call if there is an overflow that needs prompt attention.
Common questions
Do you help with blocked toilets and baths?
Yes. Our domestic drainage services include sinks, baths, toilets and waste pipes. Tell us which fittings are affected and whether waste water is overflowing.
Should I pour more drain cleaner into a blockage?
Do not mix cleaning products. If a product has already been used, tell us its name before attendance. Stop using a fixture that is backing up or overflowing.
What if the blockage is in a shared or public sewer?
Responsibility depends on where the problem lies. Your water company may be responsible for shared or public drainage. Our service focuses on domestic fittings and waste pipework, not advertised public-sewer works.
