Dealing with a drain blockage in SW6, we can usually be with you inside 90 minutes. We work across Fulham and Parsons Green and the surrounding roads, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
What we cover in SW6
SW6 covers Fulham and Parsons Green, within Hammersmith and Fulham. Homes, flats and commercial premises are all covered, 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
What actually causes most of the work in SW6 are much the same year to year:
- A build-up that has been narrowing the pipe for a while, tipped over by a single wash
- A structural fault in the pipe holding back solids
- A shared run affecting several properties
- Surface water overwhelming a combined sewer
Signs worth reporting
The signs that bring people to call us around SW6:
- Standing water in a yard gully when nothing is running
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, rather than a single sink
- A glugging noise from a plughole as another appliance drains
- Foul odour around a chamber that worsens after rain
How the visit works
Here is what happens when we attend:
- Get the property out of harm’s way on arrival
- Find where the flow stops by working through the chambers
- Remove the obstruction with jetting or rods
- Report what caused it and whether the pipe needs more than clearing
Before we arrive
Useful steps before we arrive:
- 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
- Note which fittings are affected when you ring
Who pays for the repair
Whose pipe it is matters as much as what is in it. 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 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
Drain unblocking starts at a fixed £120 plus VAT, with no call-out charge at any hour. No call-out fee applies, day or night. You know the cost before the engineer picks up a tool.
