A Richmond drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local Kingston upon Thames drainage engineers covering Richmond. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Richmond sits about four miles north of central Kingston, mostly in TW9, and it's a mix of Victorian and Edwardian terraces, large converted flats above the high street, and some substantial detached houses on the quieter residential roads back from the park. We get called out regularly for blocked drains and slow-emptying gullies, but the older housing stock here also means we're dealing with cracked clay pipes and failing junctions more often than in newer areas.
We come in along the A316 or up through Kew Road depending on where the job is. The streets closest to Richmond Park and the river have mature trees lining the pavements, and those root systems do serious damage to clay pipe joints over time. A lot of the Victorian terraces share lateral drains that run under rear gardens, which makes blockages harder to trace without a camera survey. Shared sewer arrangements here are more common than most homeowners realise.

Richmond FAQ
In Richmond's older terraces this comes up a lot. If the blockage is in a shared lateral drain that serves more than one property, Thames Water are usually responsible for it once it's been adopted. But if it's within your property boundary, it's on you. We can camera the line and tell you exactly where the blockage is and whose side of the boundary it falls on, which saves arguments with neighbours.
