A Coombe drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Kingston upon Thames drainage engineers covering Coombe. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Coombe sits in the KT2 postcode just north of New Malden, roughly 3 miles from central Kingston upon Thames, and it's one of the more affluent pockets we cover. You've got large detached houses on generous plots, plenty of 1930s and postwar stock mixed with some genuinely substantial Victorian and Edwardian properties. The drainage jobs here tend to involve blocked or collapsed drains under long private drives, root ingress into older clay pipe runs, and soakaway failures on plots that have been extended over the years.
We come in through Kingston Hill or Coombe Lane depending on traffic. The area around Coombe Hill Road and Coombe Lane West has deep mature tree cover, and those root systems are a constant presence in the older clay pipework beneath the driveways and rear gardens. Many of the larger properties have private drainage runs of 20 metres or more before they connect to the sewer, and some still have shared sewer arrangements that cause confusion when neighbours need to establish responsibility. Coombe is one of those areas where the drain runs are longer and older than people expect.

Coombe FAQ
On private property the drain is your responsibility up to the point it connects to a public sewer or becomes a shared sewer used by more than one property. In Coombe a lot of houses have long private runs, so it's worth getting a CCTV survey done so you know exactly where your section ends and where Thames Water's begins. That also helps if you're buying or selling.
