Drain Unblocking in Greenwich

We unblock drains across Greenwich, from Greenwich town and the Peninsula to Charlton, Woolwich, Plumstead, Eltham, Blackheath and Shooters Hill. Our engineers cover SE3, SE7, SE9, SE10, SE18 and SE28. They know the borough's drainage, which has big changes in height, mixed pipework from Victorian to modern, and tidal influence near the river.

How drain unblocking works in Greenwich

1

Request & Dispatch

Request a quote online for drain unblocking in London. Tell us which sinks, toilets or baths are slow, since that helps us plan. We then send an engineer to your Greenwich address.

2

Access & Assessment

On arrival, we find out which section of the drain has the problem. We also check whether the blockage sits close by or further downstream, because that changes the method.

3

Select the Right Method

The method depends on the blockage. For example, we may use drain rods, an electric drain snake or high-pressure jetting to clear it.

4

Clear & Flush

We remove the blockage and flush the drain. Then we run every connected appliance while we watch the flow.

5

Aftercare Guidance

We explain what caused the problem. We also share simple advice, since prevention costs less than a repeat visit.

Common drain unblocking problems in Greenwich

  • ✓ Kitchen sink and bathroom drain blockages in Victorian terraces across Charlton, Woolwich and Plumstead
  • ✓ Gully overflows near Greenwich Park, Charlton Park and Oxleas Wood in autumn leaf fall
  • ✓ Blockages near the foot of Shooters Hill, Blackheath and Eltham slopes, where fast flows leave debris as the gradient flattens
  • ✓ Tidal backup in lower-ground units on the Peninsula, Charlton riverside, Woolwich and Thamesmead
  • ✓ Shared-drain blockages in Charlton and Plumstead terraces, where one fault backs up several houses

Our approach in Greenwich

We find which fixtures have the problem, then open the nearest inspection chamber. Drain rods clear solid obstructions, while high-pressure jetting clears grease, scale, roots and debris. Debris collects where the gradient changes on hillside streets, so jetting suits these drains. Before we leave, we test the flow downstream.

Local tip: On Shooters Hill, Blackheath or the Eltham high ground, your drain may block about the same distance downhill each time. The cause is likely fast-flow wear and a displaced joint near the foot of the slope. Rodding alone will not fix it, because the fault stays. A CCTV survey and no-dig relining of that section is the lasting fix.
