Drain unblocking in Kingston upon Thames

Flats, conversions and student lets

A lot of Kingston's housing is flats, from purpose-built blocks to big old houses split into several homes. Many people sharing one soil stack and one drain means more chances for something to be flushed that should not be, and when it blocks, the ground-floor flat suffers first.

We clear shared stacks and drains, and we work directly with landlords, letting agents and managing agents, sending them our report and footage so the tenant does not have to chase anyone.

Surbiton, New Malden and the suburbs

Away from the centre, Surbiton and Berrylands are full of Victorian and Edwardian homes with clay drains, while New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington have large estates of 1930s houses. Both have older pipes now showing their age, with root ingress and displaced joints being the faults we find most on camera.

Kingston Hill, Coombe and Hampton Wick

Up on Kingston Hill and around Coombe, the houses are larger, set back from the road with long private drains under gravel drives. Across the bridge in Hampton Wick, period cottages sit tight against the river. Different streets, different drains, and we treat each one on its own merits.
