Blocked drains in Islington.
Angel, Highbury, Canonbury, Holloway, Archway and Clerkenwell. A drainage engineer on the same 24/7 desk as the rest of London, with the visit charge confirmed before anyone is sent.
Blocked drains for Islington’s buildings.
Islington is mostly Georgian and Victorian terraces, house conversions, housing association blocks and warehouse flats. That shapes what goes wrong and how we fix it.
A blocked stack in a converted house backs up into the lowest flat first. We clear it, find out what caused it, and send photo notes you can pass to the other flats or the freeholder.
On estates the drains are usually the landlord’s. We clear the immediate blockage and report with photos so the managing agent can act on the cause.
For restaurants, shops and offices we clear grease and waste blockages and tell you honestly if the run needs a planned clean rather than another emergency.
Typical jobs
- Blocked kitchen waste
- Toilet blockage
- Gully and stack
- External drain
A slow kitchen waste or a toilet that will not clear is usually a blockage, not a new drain. We attend, protect the area, and clear what is accessible. Camera inspection is used when the run is not obvious — we do not quote a full lining job from a smell. External gullies and stacks are the same number, all boroughs.
