Drainage emergencies in SW6 rarely wait for a convenient moment. We run a genuine round-the-clock service covering Fulham and Parsons Green, and a fixed price given on the call.
What we cover in SW6
The area we cover in SW6 includes Fulham and Parsons Green, part of Hammersmith and Fulham. Since we work the surrounding postcodes as well, we can deal with both ends of a shared run.
Fulham and Parsons Green are uniform late-Victorian terraces, most extended to the rear. Drain runs built over by side-return extensions, and roots in clay laterals under front gardens, are the two standard findings.
Common causes in SW6
Most of what we attend in SW6 traces back to a handful of causes:
- Sewage escaping at ground level
- Nothing draining anywhere in the property
- Waste rising into a downstairs bathroom
- Flooding after a storm
Signs worth reporting
Before you call, it helps to know what you are looking at:
- Water standing in an outside gully when nothing is running
- Two or more fittings affected together, rather than a single sink
- Bubbling in the pan when the bath is let out
- Foul odour around a chamber that worsens after rain
How the visit works
The order matters, so we work it out before we jet:
- You get an honest time, not an optimistic one
- Stop using water in the property until we arrive
- We clear the blockage on the visit wherever possible
- You find out if the pipe itself needs work
Before we arrive
In the meantime, these few things genuinely help:
- Stop using water in the property, especially washing machines
- Cordon off contaminated ground
- Make sure the chambers can be reached
- Jot down what is draining and what is not when you ring
Who pays for the repair
The first question on a shared drain is whose it is. A private drain serving one building is the owner’s; beyond that, and on anything shared, it is generally the water company’s. We record it so you have something to act on.
What it costs in SW6
Emergency attendance starts at a fixed £120 plus VAT, and we never charge for coming out. We never charge for coming out, whatever the time. The price is confirmed before we start.
