Replacing broken sewerage cover in garden
They quickly sent us a proposal for the work and cost and on our acceptance an early date for the job was agreed. The work took less than an hour and the area was left tidy . Very pleased with what has been done.
Blocked drain in kitchen in a third floor apartment
The kitchen sink was blocked and when the washing machine discharged its contents the sink then overflowed! So urgent help needed. They were open after hours for emergency requests. The late night visit which we had anticipated did not happen, however on following up in the morning, they quickly dispatched someone to the property and sorted the problem for a pre-agreed fixed fee. The office reception or deployment was actually good and friendly and had a can-do attitude. The guy turning up struggled a bit with directions but communicated until he arrived. I would use them again.
Kitchen Sink blocked
First rate. From initial contact, I was called back 10 minutes later with a time the same day. The workman was there bang on time and carried out the work with professionalism and a smile. All fixed in lightening quick time.

Call Now: 07824 757572Greenwich SE10's rich maritime heritage brings unique drainage considerations, from period properties near the Royal Naval College with original Victorian pipework to modern riverside developments requiring specialized flood-resistant systems. Our 20+ years of local experience means we understand how Greenwich's clay soil conditions affect drainage performance, particularly during London's increasingly frequent heavy rainfall events. We've successfully resolved countless drainage issues across SE10, from simple blockages to complex repairs that preserve the area's architectural integrity.
Properties near Greenwich's Thames frontage face distinctive drainage challenges that our engineers are uniquely qualified to address. Ground movement from the river's proximity, combined with tidal influences on the wider drainage network, requires specialist knowledge that we've developed through decades of local work. Our no-dig repair techniques are particularly valuable for Greenwich's period properties, allowing us to restore drainage function without disturbing historic building foundations or landscaped gardens near Greenwich Park.
From Greenwich's Georgian terraces to modern apartment developments, we understand how each property type's drainage system functions and fails. Victorian-era properties often feature shared drainage runs that require careful diagnosis when problems occur, while newer buildings may have more complex internal layouts that challenge traditional repair approaches. Our CCTV survey technology proves essential for accurately diagnosing issues across Greenwich's varied housing stock, ensuring we recommend the most appropriate and cost-effective solutions for each unique SE10 property.

Greenwich's mature trees, particularly around the Royal Observatory and Greenwich Park, often cause root intrusion in older drainage systems.
