Blocked toilets in SW6 have a habit of happening at the worst time. 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
SW6 covers Fulham and Parsons Green, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. We attend both residential and commercial property here, 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 comes down to a short list:
- Non-flushable items caught at a bend
- A heavy load of paper, particularly with a low-flush cistern
- A restriction further down the soil pipe, so the pan is the symptom rather than the cause
- An item dropped into the pan stuck in the pan
Signs worth reporting
The symptoms worth reporting when you ring:
- Water sitting in a drain outside when nothing is running
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, which points at the shared run
- A glugging noise from a plughole when the bath is let out
- A drain smell outside that is stronger in warm weather
How the visit works
This is how a visit works:
- Check whether other fittings are draining normally
- Cover the floor and surrounds before any work starts
- Clear the pan and trap with the right tool for the blockage
- Work down to the external run if the pan is already clear
Before we arrive
While you wait for us, these few things genuinely help:
- Keep water use to nothing, especially washing machines
- Keep people and pets away from any standing waste water
- Make sure the chambers can be reached
- Note which fittings are affected so we arrive prepared
Who pays for the repair
Not every blockage is yours to pay for. Since 2011, most shared drains and lateral drains in England belong to the water company, which means a fault beyond your boundary is theirs to fix. We work out where the fault is and say so, even when that means we are not the ones doing the repair.
What it costs in SW6
A blocked toilet is normally cleared at the fixed £120 plus VAT rate. There is no call-out charge in SW6, at any hour. You know the cost before the engineer picks up a tool.
