Blocked Toilet
The speed of response was excellent. From the online quote to arranging a convenient date couldn't have been easier. The plumber who attended was efficient and professional. The price was very fair, and there was no suggestion of trying to "upsell" anything. Good job very well done. Thanks

Thames Water manages the public sewerage network serving Welling and surrounding Greater London areas including DA16, DA5, DA6 and DA14. While they handle main sewer problems, private drainage systems from your property boundary remain your responsibility. We work closely with Thames Water when issues affect both private and public drainage infrastructure.
Greater London's clay soil around Welling becomes particularly problematic during heavy rainfall, causing ground movement that can displace aging pipe joints. Combined with increased surface water overwhelming Victorian-era drainage systems in Bexley and older Sidcup areas, wet weather exposes vulnerabilities in drainage networks that cope adequately during dry periods but struggle with increased flow volumes.
