Family-run since 2013, we work right across the capital, and SE10 is inside our core coverage. The postcode takes in Greenwich and Maze Hill.
What we cover in SE10
SE10 covers Greenwich and Maze Hill, inside Greenwich. We work for householders and businesses alike in this area, from single blockages to full drainage installations.
Greenwich has Georgian and early Victorian terraces near the town centre and newer flats along the river. Conservation-area frontages need care when covers are lifted, and much of the below-ground pipework is original clay.
Common causes in SE10
Throughout SE10, the common causes are:
- A run that blocks again within weeks, which suggests something structural
- A purchase in progress, where the drainage condition is unknown
- An insurer asking for evidence requiring footage and positions
- A structure going over the drain line, so the pipe has to be found before digging
Signs worth reporting
Before you call, it helps to know what you are looking at:
- Water standing in an outside gully long after use
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, rather than a single sink
- A glugging noise from a plughole when something else empties
- Foul odour around a chamber that worsens after rain
How the visit works
The process is the same whatever the address, which is how we can quote a fixed price:
- Flush the run so the camera can read the pipe
- Run the camera through the full length
- Record where each defect sits, and how deep
- Hand over the recording with a written report
Before we arrive
Worth doing while you wait:
- Hold off on taps, showers and appliances, including the washing machine and dishwasher
- Keep people and pets away from any standing waste water
- Clear access to the drain covers if you can
- Jot down what is draining and what is not when you ring
Who pays for the repair
Not every blockage is yours to pay for. Most pipework beyond your boundary became the water company’s responsibility in 2011, which means a fault beyond your boundary is theirs to fix. We establish which side of the line the fault sits and tell you plainly, even where it means there is no job in it for us.
What it costs in SE10
A CCTV drain survey is a fixed £300 plus VAT, footage and written summary included. There is no call-out charge in SE10, at any hour. The price is confirmed before we start.
