If a drain has backed up at your Old Street property, we can help today. Our engineers cover EC2A and the surrounding Greater London villages with 24/7 emergency call-out and same-day appointments.
London clay is unforgiving on old drainage. Ground movement over decades opens up joints in Victorian salt-glazed clay, and roots find those openings within a season.
Old Street has the usual English mix: period property on original clay pipework, post-war housing on pitch fibre or early plastic, and newer builds on UPVC that still connect into much older shared runs. Each fails in a different way, so we diagnose before we dig.
Our engineers cover the whole of Old Street and the surrounding Hackney area — residential, commercial and agricultural drainage alike.
Typical arrival: 45–70 minutes to Old Street once you call. Old Street is roughly 28 miles from our East Grinstead base, and we run 24/7 — nights, weekends and bank holidays included. Call 0330 1331 347 and we'll tell you honestly when an engineer will be with you.
Yes. We cover every street in EC2A and the surrounding Hackney area, including outlying hamlets and rural properties on private drainage systems.
The most common causes we see locally are surface water flooding where downpipes discharge into foul drains, silted and overflowing gullies after heavy rain in EC2A, scale and debris build-up narrowing older runs. A CCTV survey tells us which one it is in minutes rather than guessing.
We do. Our phone lines are staffed 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year, and we treat sewage inside a property or flooding risk as a priority call-out anywhere in Greater London.
Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys in Old Street are one of our most requested jobs. You get a recorded survey, a written report and a clear list of any defects with repair options.
In Greater London, pipework inside your property boundary that only serves your home is usually yours. Shared runs and anything beyond the boundary are typically the water authority's. We'll tell you which is which before any work starts — and never charge you for a job that isn't yours.
