Blocked drains in SW15 rarely wait for a convenient moment. We run a genuine round-the-clock service covering Putney and Roehampton, and a fixed price given on the call.
What we cover in SW15
What we take in across SW15 includes Putney and Roehampton, in Wandsworth. Because we cover the neighbouring postcodes too, a drain shared between streets is not a problem.
Putney and Roehampton run from riverside mansion blocks up the hill to terraces and larger detached homes. Communal drainage in the blocks and root ingress higher up are the recurring issues.
Common causes in SW15
Nearly everything we clear in SW15 has one of these behind it:
- Cooking fat washed into the kitchen waste, which cools and hardens inside the pipe
- Cleaning wipes, which hold together in the drain
- Root growth finding an open joint
- Silt and grit collecting in a low point
Signs worth reporting
The signs that bring people to call us across SW15:
- Water standing in an outside gully when nothing is running
- Two or more fittings affected together, rather than a single sink
- Gurgling from a toilet or sink as another appliance drains
- A drain smell outside that is stronger in warm weather
How the visit works
The order matters, so we work it out before we jet:
- Open the chambers in order to find where the flow stops
- Establish whether it is your pipe or the water company’s
- Jet the restriction out at a pressure suited to the pipe
- Run water through every fitting before we finish
Before we arrive
What to do before we get there:
- Hold off on taps, showers and appliances, especially washing machines
- Move children and pets away from the affected area
- Move bins or planters off the inspection covers
- Note which fittings are affected for the call
Who pays for the repair
The first question on a shared drain is whose it is. Your own run up to the boundary is your responsibility; beyond that, and on anything shared, it is generally the water company’s. You get that in writing.
What it costs in SW15
Outside drain clearance is a fixed £144 plus VAT. We quote a fixed price, not a rate, which means a stubborn blockage costs what we said.
