Blocked Drains in London – 24/7 Emergency Drain Unblocking
When water won't drain, you need someone who can fix it fast. We clear blocked drains across London—day or night, weekends included. No call-out charges, no fuss. Our experienced engineers use professional equipment to diagnose and resolve drainage problems quickly, preventing further damage to your property.
Blocked Drain? You're Not Alone
London's drainage system handles a lot. Older properties—especially Victorian and Edwardian terraces—often have clay pipes that crack and catch debris. Shared drains in flats mean one neighbour's problem quickly becomes yours. Tree roots push through joints, fat and grease build up over months, and wet wipes (even the ones that say flushable) cause more blockages than anything else.
When drains back up, they smell. Water pools where it shouldn't. And if you leave it too long, you risk sewage overflow—not something anyone wants to deal with. The key is acting quickly when you notice the first signs of a problem. Slow-draining sinks, gurgling sounds from pipes, and unpleasant odours are all warning signs that shouldn't be ignored.
Our experienced drainage engineers have seen every type of blockage imaginable. From minor kitchen sink blockages to major sewer line problems, we have the equipment and expertise to diagnose the issue accurately and resolve it efficiently. We work with both residential and commercial properties across all London boroughs.

We understand London properties
From basement flats in Camden to Victorian terraces in Dulwich, we've seen every type of drainage setup the capital throws at us. London properties have unique challenges—shared drainage stacks, aging pipework, and complex connections to century-old sewers. Our engineers know how to navigate these systems efficiently.

We invest in the latest drainage technology including high-pressure jetting equipment, CCTV camera systems, and specialist repair tools. This means we can diagnose problems accurately and fix them properly the first time, rather than applying temporary fixes that fail within weeks.
Common Drainage Problems in London
London's unique mix of old and new infrastructure creates specific challenges. Here are the most common issues we deal with:
Kitchen Drain Blockages
Caused by fat, grease, and food waste accumulation. Even with careful disposal habits, grease gradually builds up on pipe walls, eventually causing complete blockages. Regular professional cleaning can prevent these issues.
Bathroom Drain Issues
Hair, soap scum, and personal care products combine to create stubborn blockages in bathroom drains. Shower drains and bathroom sinks are particularly prone to these problems.
External Drain Blockages
Leaves, debris, and sediment can block external drains and gullies. Tree roots are also a major cause of external drain damage, especially in older properties with clay pipes.
Main Sewer Line Problems
More serious blockages can occur in the main sewer line connecting your property to the public sewer. These often require professional CCTV investigation to diagnose and specialist equipment to resolve.
