Blocked drains in Kingston upon Thames: what we usually find

We clear blocked drains across Kingston (KT1, KT2, KT3 and KT6), including Surbiton and Tolworth. Our engineers know the borough's older homes, since they are common here. The Hogsmill meets the Thames here, which can cause sewer backup, so we factor it into every diagnosis.

  • Backup in the town centre and lower Hogsmill valley streets in heavy rain and high Thames tides
  • Roots from the mature gardens of the Coombe estate entering 1930s clay drains
  • Ageing joint failure on Edwardian Surbiton and Norbiton terrace runs
  • Interwar drains in Tolworth near the end of their working life, with more frequent partial collapses
  • Shared-drain blockages on Berrylands and Hook terrace runs, where one fault backs up several houses

We start at the nearest inspection chamber. If the blockage is hard to find, we use CCTV to locate it before we clear it. Jetting is our preferred method for Surbiton's older clay drains, while rodding handles simpler blockages. We check the flow afterwards, because we want to see it run freely.

Your drain may block every winter but stay clear all summer. If so, the cause is probably seasonal Hogsmill and Thames backup, not a fault in your pipes. A CCTV survey confirms it, and a check valve on the drain lateral can solve it, since it stops water flowing back.

Kingston upon Thames drainage FAQs

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.

Do you provide a CCTV drain survey report?

Yes. Every CCTV drain survey comes with a written report graded to WRCm standards. The report includes HD footage and still images of any defects. You receive it after the survey.
