Dealing with a drain blockage in W2, help is normally under 90 minutes away. We work across Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill and the surrounding roads, 24 hours a day, including weekends and bank holidays.
What we cover in W2
W2 covers Paddington, Bayswater and Notting Hill, in the London Borough of City of Westminster. We work for householders and businesses alike in this area, whatever the size of the job.
Paddington and Bayswater are tall stucco terraces converted into flats and hotels, with extensive basement space. Shared stacks in near-constant use and front lightwell gullies are the usual sources of call-outs.
Common causes in W2
In W2, the common causes are:
- 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 common drain serving more than one home
- Storm water using the same pipe as the foul waste
Signs worth reporting
The signs that bring people to call us around W2:
- Water sitting in a drain outside long after use
- Several fittings draining slowly at once, rather than a single sink
- 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
The order matters, so we work it out before we jet:
- Get the property out of harm’s way on arrival
- Trace the restriction by working through the chambers
- Clear it by jetting or mechanically
- Report what caused it and whether the pipe needs more than clearing
Before we arrive
What to do before we get there:
- Keep water use to nothing, 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
- Have your postcode and a description ready when you ring
Who pays for the repair
On terraced and converted property, ownership is the first thing to settle. Pipework inside your boundary serving only your property is yours; beyond that, and on anything shared, it is generally the water company’s. We put that in writing after the visit.
