We understand the unique challenges of maintaining these sophisticated systems without compromising the building's historic character.

We've successfully maintained drainage systems across this architectural mix, understanding how new and old systems interact within the area's complex infrastructure.

CCTV Drain Survey

CCTV Drain Survey & Blockage Clearance – W8, Kensington, West London

Issue:

A property in Kensington (W8) experienced persistent slow drainage with occasional foul odours indoors, indicating a partial blockage and potential underlying structural issues.

Outcome:

Drainage flow restored and foul odours eliminated following clearance, with internal pipe wear identified for proactive future maintenance.

W8
Blocked drain – investigation, clearance and full system restoration
Drain Clearance

Blocked drain – investigation, clearance and full system restoration

Issue:

The client reported a foul drainage blockage at the property, with wastewater backing up and discharging slowly through the system. The symptoms strongly suggested a developing obstruction within the foul line. Slow-running appliances, rising water levels and gurgling sounds indicated that the blockage was restricting the pipe bore and preventing normal flow. Left unresolved, the issue could have led to further surcharging, foul odours or wastewater escaping into the surrounding garden area.

Outcome:

The blockage was successfully cleared, restoring normal function to the foul drain. The system discharged freely with no backing-up, no further surcharge and no delayed outflow during post-clearance testing. The surrounding garden area and manhole were left clean and tidy following the jetting operation. No additional issues were observed during the visit.

SW5
