We are a family-run firm covering London since 2013, and SW6 is inside our core coverage. The postcode takes in Fulham and Parsons Green.
What we cover in SW6
SW6 takes in Fulham and Parsons Green, in the London Borough of Hammersmith and Fulham. We attend both residential and commercial property here, from single blockages to full drainage installations.
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
Across SW6, the usual culprits are:
- A drain that keeps blocking, which suggests something structural
- A purchase in progress, and no records of the drainage
- An insurer asking for evidence needing documented evidence
- An extension being planned, 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 hours after the last discharge
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, rather than a single sink
- Gurgling from a toilet or sink as another appliance drains
- A sour smell near the gully that keeps coming back
How the visit works
This is how a visit works:
- Clear enough of the line for a usable view
- Record the entire line
- Locate every fault from the surface
- Hand over the recording with a written report
Before we arrive
Before the engineer arrives, a couple of things make a real difference:
- Keep water use to nothing, including the washing machine and dishwasher
- Move children and pets away from the affected area
- Clear access to the drain covers if you can
- Have your postcode and a description ready so we arrive prepared
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, so a fault out in the road is not yours to fund. We work out where the fault is and say so, even where it means there is no job in it for us.
What it costs in SW6
A CCTV drain survey is a fixed £300 plus VAT, footage and written summary included. There is no call-out charge in SW6, at any hour. You know the cost before the engineer picks up a tool.
