Drain blockages in SE15 do not keep office hours. Our call-out runs 24 hours covering Peckham and Nunhead, with the price agreed up front.
What we cover in SE15
SE15 takes in Peckham and Nunhead, inside Southwark. We attend both residential and commercial property here, from a slow sink to a complete system.
Peckham and Nunhead combine Victorian terraces and estates with an unusually busy high street of food businesses. Grease from those premises and shared laterals in the streets behind them account for most call-outs.
Common causes in SE15
The recurring problems in SE15 follow a pattern:
- A restriction that has been forming for months, finished off by one heavy load
- A defect in the pipe itself holding back solids
- A shared run affecting several properties
- Rainfall filling a combined system
Signs worth reporting
Before you call, it helps to know what you are looking at:
- Water standing in an outside gully when nothing is running
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, which points at the shared run
- Gurgling from a toilet or sink when something else empties
- Foul odour around a chamber that is stronger in warm weather
How the visit works
Finding the cause comes before clearing it:
- Get the property out of harm’s way on arrival
- Find where the flow stops by working through the chambers
- Clear the line with whichever method suits the cause
- Tell you what we found and whether the pipe needs more than clearing
Before we arrive
In the meantime, there are two or three useful steps:
- Stop using water in the property, including the washing machine and dishwasher
- Keep people and pets away from any standing waste water
- Make sure the chambers can be reached
- Have your postcode and a description ready for the call
Who pays for the repair
Not every blockage is yours to pay for. Shared drains and laterals transferred to the water company in England 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, even where it means there is no job in it for us.
What it costs in SE15
Drain unblocking starts at a fixed £120 plus VAT, with no call-out charge at any hour. We quote a fixed price, not a rate, so a difficult job in SE15 does not become an expensive surprise.
