Blocked Drains, Toilets & Sinks in Richmond & Twickenham
A blockage affecting one sink, bath or toilet may be in its trap or waste pipe. If several fittings back up at once, the fault may be further along a shared soil stack or outside drain. We identify the affected run and use rodding or mechanical clearance where suitable; specialist jetting is not part of our current offer.

Blocked drains near you in Richmond & Twickenham: what we see locally
Period property and concealed runs
Victorian and Edwardian houses across Richmond and St Margarets frequently have pipework buried behind panelling, tiling or floors laid over earlier work. We explain what tracing will involve before the clock passes the included first hour.
Subdivided houses and shared stacks
Large houses converted into flats share soil stacks and waste runs, so a fault in one flat surfaces in another. Establishing the affected run first avoids paying for the wrong repair.
Riverside and surface water
Properties near the Thames and on lower streets see more surface-water and drainage complaints after sustained rain. Gullies and rainwater runs are worth checking before winter.
Blocked drains and toilets in Richmond and Twickenham
Blocked toilet, sink or drain in Richmond or Twickenham? We clear blockages day and night from Richmond, St Margarets, Twickenham, Teddington, Whitton, Hampton and Isleworth.
In large houses split into flats, a blockage in the shared stack often shows up as a backed-up toilet or shower in the lowest flat, so the first job is working out which run is affected. Near the river and on lower streets, slow outside drains after heavy rain can be surface water rather than a blockage. We clear with plungers, drain rods and mechanical machines; if a blockage needs jetting, which we do not offer, we tell you before starting.
Our outside gully overflows when it rains — is it blocked?
Possibly, but in heavy rain a gully can overflow simply because there is more water than it can take. Clear leaves and silt from the grid; if it still overflows in light rain, or when sinks drain, the run beyond it is probably part-blocked.
