When you have a blocked drain in W6, help is normally under 90 minutes away. Our engineers cover Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park and everything nearby, 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
What we cover in W6
W6 includes Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park, within Hammersmith and Fulham. Homes, flats and commercial premises are all covered, from a slow sink to a complete system.
Hammersmith combines residential streets with mixed-use buildings on the main roads, where a restaurant or shop sits below flats. Commercial kitchen grease restricting a run shared with residents is the defining local fault.
Common causes in W6
Across W6, the usual culprits are:
- Cooking fat washed into the kitchen waste, which cools and hardens inside the pipe
- Wipes marketed as flushable, which stay intact once flushed
- Tree and shrub roots working into the pipe
- Soil and grit collecting in a low point
Signs worth reporting
The symptoms worth reporting when you ring:
- Standing water in a yard gully when nothing is running
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, not just one
- Bubbling in the pan when the bath is let out
- A drain smell outside that keeps coming back
How the visit works
Every job follows the same sequence, which is how we can quote a fixed price:
- Work through the inspection chambers to find where the flow stops
- Establish whether it is your pipe or the water company’s
- Clear the blockage with water jetting at a pressure suited to the pipe
- Run water through every fitting before we finish
Before we arrive
While you wait for us, these few things genuinely help:
- Stop using water in the property, particularly appliances on a timer
- Move children and pets away from the affected area
- Clear access to the drain covers if you can
- Jot down what is draining and what is not so we arrive prepared
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; shared runs and anything past the boundary generally are not. You get that in writing.
What it costs in W6
Outside drain clearance is a fixed £144 plus VAT. We never charge for coming out, whatever the time. You get the figure before any work begins.
