About Ealing

Ealing is a large west London borough. It runs from Acton and Shepherd's Bush in the east to Southall and Hayes in the west. It is known as the 'Queen of the Suburbs'. The east has Victorian and Edwardian terraces, while the west has larger Edwardian and 1920s semis.

Modern commercial development lines the A40 corridor. Ealing Council manages highway drainage, so report blocked road gullies to their streets and transport service. Drains inside your property boundary are private, and that is where we come in.

Property types: Victorian terraced housing in Acton and West Ealing; large Edwardian semi-detached properties in Ealing and Hanwell; 1920s and 1930s semi-detached across Northolt and Greenford; modern development in Southall and along the Crossrail corridor.

Drainage in Ealing

Acton and the eastern areas have Victorian clay drains. Central Ealing has Edwardian clay, while the western suburbs have 1920s and 1930s clay.

London Clay lies under most of the borough, with river gravels along the Brent Valley and the Thames. The Grand Union Canal corridor has its own groundwater pattern. As a result, drain conditions vary across the borough.

Roots from trees in Ealing Common and Walpole Park can reach drains in nearby streets. High-pressure drain jetting clears them, and no-dig pipe relining seals the pipe. Joints in older clay drains can shift, and a CCTV drain survey shows where. Grease affects dense areas such as Southall, while shared drains matter in Victorian streets in Acton.

River Brent flooding is a risk in some low-lying areas. Our emergency drain team covers Ealing.

Ealing drainage FAQs

My Acton Victorian terrace has a blocked drain — why does it keep coming back?

Repeat blockages in Acton's Victorian terraces often come from roots. Street trees line many roads, and old clay joints wear with age. A single jetting may clear the blockage, but it can return if the joint is open. A CCTV survey confirms whether roots are the cause. We can then plan a lasting fix, usually root cutting followed by spot-repair relining.

How quickly can you respond to a blocked drain in London?

Request a quote online and tell us it is urgent. Arrival times depend on your location in London, the time of day and traffic. We cannot promise a set time, but we will do our best to attend soon.

Do you cover all London boroughs?

Yes, we cover all 32 London boroughs plus the City of London. We work from Barnet in the north to Bromley in the south. We also reach Havering in the east and Hillingdon in the west. Wherever you are in Greater London, we can help with drain unblocking and other drainage work.

How much does drain unblocking cost in London?

The cost depends on how bad the blockage is and where it sits. It also depends on whether you need a standard daytime visit or an urgent one out of hours. Request a quote online, and we will confirm the price with you before any work starts.

What causes blocked drains in London?

Grease and fat build-up is a common cause, and so are roots from London's many mature trees. Cracked or collapsed Victorian clay pipes also cause trouble. Flushed wet wipes and cotton products block pipes too, while ground movement in London Clay can shift joints. Old London drains suffer most from roots and displaced joints.

Will you need to dig up my garden or driveway?

Usually not. Most blockages clear with drain rods or high-pressure jetting, and neither needs digging. Where a drain needs repair, we use no-dig pipe relining wherever we can. We only suggest digging when no-dig methods will not work.
