Blocked drains in SW6 do not keep office hours. We run a genuine round-the-clock service covering Fulham and Parsons Green, with fixed prices confirmed before any work starts.
What we cover in SW6
SW6 includes Fulham and Parsons Green, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. We work for householders and businesses alike in this area, whatever the size of the job.
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 has one of these behind it:
- Grease from the kitchen, which solidifies as soon as it cools
- Wipes marketed as flushable, which stay intact in the drain
- Roots from nearby planting entering through a cracked joint
- Sand and silt collecting in a low point
Signs worth reporting
The symptoms worth reporting when you ring:
- Water standing in an outside gully when nothing is running
- More than one appliance backing up, rather than a single sink
- A glugging noise from a plughole when the bath is let out
- Foul odour around a chamber that keeps coming back
How the visit works
What we do when we get there:
- Check the chambers along the run to find where the flow stops
- Confirm whether the fault is inside your boundary
- Clear it with high-pressure jetting at a pressure suited to the pipe
- Flush the line and test each fitting before we finish
Before we arrive
In the meantime, there are two or three useful steps:
- Keep water use to nothing, particularly appliances on a timer
- Move children and pets away from the affected area
- Make sure the chambers can be reached
- Note which fittings are affected for the call
Who pays for the repair
A blockage is not automatically your bill. Most pipework beyond your boundary became the water company’s responsibility in 2011, so a fault out in the road is not yours to fund. We establish which side of the line the fault sits and tell you plainly, including when the answer is that you should call Thames Water instead.
What it costs in SW6
Outside drain clearance is a fixed £144 plus VAT. There is no call-out charge in SW6, at any hour. You get the figure before any work begins.
