Drain trouble in Richmond? We answer 24/7.

Richmond’s drains are as period as its houses. The Victorian terraces off Sheen Road, the grand villas on Richmond Hill and the cottages in Petersham mostly run on clay pipework that predates the First World War, and in conservation areas nobody has ever been keen to dig it up. That’s exactly where relining earns its keep: we fix the pipe from the inside and the listed garden wall never knows we were there.

The borough’s magnificent trees are, professionally speaking, our biggest local rival. The planes and horse chestnuts around Richmond Green and the park edges push fine roots into every available pipe joint looking for water, and a root-bound drain re-blocks on a schedule until the ingress point is found and fixed. A CCTV survey here is rarely boring. (For us. We accept this is a niche form of entertainment.)

There’s also a practical Richmond reality: with property values around Richmond Hill and Kew among the highest in the country, foul water backing up into a basement kitchen does eye-watering damage per hour. When something does go wrong, it’s worth it being fixed quickly and properly documented. We’re local, we answer 24/7, and we arrive genuinely pleased to see a difficult drain.
