Drain trouble in East Sheen? We answer 24/7.

East Sheen is Edwardian suburbia at its most settled: tree-lined avenues between Upper Richmond Road West and the Sheen Gate of Richmond Park, with long rear gardens and houses that have been quietly extended, re-plumbed and re-roofed for a hundred years. The drains, mostly, have not been touched. They are original clay runs that leave the back of the house, travel the length of the garden and meet the sewer under the road, and twenty metres of century-old pipe gives a blockage plenty of places to hide.

Root ingress is the local speciality. The gardens here are full of mature fruit trees, limes and the occasional willow, and every one of them has found the drain at some point. The pattern is familiar: a slow bath, then a gurgle from the downstairs toilet, then one wet morning the outside gully lifts its lid. Clearing it buys a year; lining the entry point buys a generation.

Sheen also has a lot of side returns and kitchen extensions built over the original run, which means access is often through a single chamber near the back door. We carry the kit for long reaches and tight access, and a camera survey here is usually the first time anyone has seen what the house has been standing on. We cover all of SW14 from Mortlake to the park, around the clock.
