Blocked drains in Kensington and Chelsea.
Chelsea, South Kensington, Earl’s Court, Holland Park, Notting Hill and North Kensington. 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 Kensington and Chelsea’s buildings.
Kensington and Chelsea is mostly stucco terraces, mews houses and mansion blocks, much of it in conservation areas. That shapes what goes wrong and how we fix it.
Period houses often have original clay drains with intercepting traps that silt up. We know where to look, and we use a camera when the problem keeps coming back.
Mansion blocks have shared stacks and sometimes shared gullies at basement level. We clear the blockage and report to the porter or agent if it is on the communal run.
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.
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 Camera inspection is used when the run is not obvious — we do not quote a full lining job from a smell.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.
