Dealing with a drain blockage in W6, we are typically 60 to 90 minutes away. We work across Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park and everything nearby, day and night, 365 days a year.
What we cover in W6
Our coverage of W6 runs across Hammersmith and Ravenscourt Park, part of Hammersmith and Fulham. Since we work the surrounding postcodes as well, we can deal with both ends of a shared run.
Hammersmith combines residential streets with mixed-use buildings on the main roads, where a restaurant or shop sits below flats. Commercial kitchen grease restricting a run shared with residents is the defining local fault.
Common causes in W6
The recurring problems in W6 are much the same year to year:
- A restriction that has been forming for months, tipped over by a single wash
- A cracked or displaced section 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 W6:
- Water standing in an outside gully long after use
- Two or more fittings affected together, rather than a single sink
- A glugging noise from a plughole as another appliance drains
- A drain smell outside that keeps coming back
How the visit works
We diagnose before we clear:
- Get the property out of harm’s way on arrival
- Trace the restriction by working through the chambers
- Clear the line with whichever method suits the cause
- Explain the cause and whether the pipe needs more than clearing
Before we arrive
Useful steps before we arrive:
- Hold off on taps, showers and appliances, particularly appliances on a timer
- Cordon off contaminated ground
- Clear access to the drain covers if you can
- Jot down what is draining and what is not so we arrive prepared
Who pays for the repair
On terraced and converted property, ownership is the first thing to settle. Your own run up to the boundary is your responsibility; shared runs and anything past the boundary generally are not. We record it so you have something to act on.
What it costs in W6
Drain unblocking starts at a fixed £120 plus VAT, with no call-out charge at any hour. We never charge for coming out, whatever the time. The price is confirmed before we start.
