About this service
Drain unblocking in Kingston upon Thames, cleared and checked on camera
A slow-draining sink or a gurgling toilet rarely stays a small problem for long. We clear blockages with drain rods or high-pressure jetting, then run a CCTV survey where needed so you can actually see what caused it — root ingress, a collapsed section, or just years of fat and wipes — rather than paying to clear the same blockage again in three months.
Blocked sinks, baths and showers
Kitchen sinks block with fat and food, baths and showers with hair and soap. If a plunger has not shifted it, the blockage is usually further along the waste pipe than you can reach. We clear the full run, not just the trap.
Blocked toilets
A toilet that fills to the rim or drains slowly is normally blocked in the pan outlet or the soil pipe. If more than one toilet or drain is affected at once, the blockage is in the main drain outside.
Blocked outside drains and CCTV surveys
Overflowing gullies and manholes are cleared with rods or jetting. Where a drain keeps blocking, a camera survey shows whether it is roots, a displaced joint or a collapsed section, and whether the pipe is yours or the water company's.

Blocked drains in Kingston, Surbiton, New Malden and Chessington
Older streets in Kingston, Norbiton and Surbiton still run on clay drains with joints that tree roots find easily. The inter-war estates of New Malden, Tolworth and Chessington often share a drain run across several back gardens, so a blockage in one house backs up into the next.
We clear drains across KT1, KT2, KT3, KT5, KT6 and KT9, and our survey tells you which side of the boundary the problem sits before you pay for a repair.

Frequently asked
Blocked drain FAQs
What usually causes a blocked drain?
Fat and grease poured down the sink, wet wipes (nothing labelled "flushable" reliably breaks down), and tree roots finding their way into older clay pipe joints.
Is it my drain or Thames Water's?
Since 2011, shared lateral drains and sewers serving more than one property are the water company's responsibility, not yours. Our survey tells you which applies before you pay for anything you're not liable for.
Why does my drain keep blocking?
A drain that blocks again within weeks has a cause that clearing alone won't fix: roots, a dropped joint, a build-up of fat, or a pipe with too little fall. A camera survey shows which.
Can I unblock a drain myself?
A plunger or a kettle of hot water and washing-up liquid often clears a sink. Avoid caustic chemicals if you may need a plumber afterwards, and don't lift a manhole cover if water is close to the top.
