Is Your Ealing Drain Showing Signs of a Bigger Problem?

Water rising in a toilet, sewage returning through a shower or an outside gully spilling onto the paving needs prompt attention. Other warning signs include a kitchen sink that empties slowly, smells around a manhole, several fixtures backing up together or a blockage that returns soon after being cleared.

ASAP Drainage attends houses, converted flats, apartment blocks, rental homes, HMOs, restaurants, shops, offices, schools, care premises and commercial sites throughout Ealing.

Where we travel from: our West London base is on Davis Road in Chiswick, placing Ealing within our immediate operating region.

How Much Does Drain Unblocking Cost in Ealing?

There is no single published charge that applies to every blocked drain. Before quoting, ASAP Drainage asks where the problem is, which fixtures are affected, what access is available, and whether the issue has happened before. You receive a fixed price before an engineer travels, with no separate call-out fee.

What moves the price: The quotation can vary according to whether the blockage is internal or external, the distance from the access point, the number of affected fixtures and the equipment needed. Root cutting, hardened scale, deep obstructions and recurring faults can require more involved work than a straightforward waste blockage.

Additional CCTV inspection or structural repair work should not proceed without your approval. Where damaged pipework is identified, the findings are explained and a separate written quotation covers remedial work.

Emergency drain unblocking 60–90 minutes Fixed quote on the phone Jetting where needed, cleared in one visit or we advise next steps free

Which Parts of Ealing Do We Cover?

We cover residential streets, apartment developments and commercial premises across W5 and W13. Property ages, layouts and drainage arrangements vary widely, so access requirements and pipe configurations differ between addresses.

Ealing Broadway and Ealing Town Centre

Busy retail areas, offices, restaurants and apartment buildings generate frequent drainage demand. Common issues include grease build-up, shared drainage systems, blocked toilets and restricted access points.

West Ealing

This area combines period terraces, converted flats, rental properties and local businesses. Engineers regularly investigate recurring blockages, root ingress, ageing pipework and shared drainage concerns.

Northfields and South Ealing

Tree-lined streets, family homes and basement properties are common here. CCTV surveys, drain tracing and root investigations help identify hidden defects and confirm drainage routes.

Pitshanger and North Ealing

Larger homes, mature gardens and older drainage systems characterise these neighbourhoods. Root intrusion, cracked joints and pipe movement are common concerns requiring detailed inspection.

Montpelier and Ealing Common

Period properties, mansion blocks and converted flats often feature shared drainage arrangements. CCTV investigations help establish responsibility, diagnose faults and recommend appropriate solutions.

Ealing Drain Emergencies Do Not Keep Office Hours

ASAP Drainage operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including overnight, weekends and bank holidays.

A toilet may overflow in a West Ealing flat or a restaurant drain may back up near Ealing Broadway while customers are still on the premises. Whatever the timing, emergency calls are handled by ASAP Drainage and attended by the company’s directly employed team. Call for the current arrival window and a confirmed quotation before dispatch.

Is the Blocked Drain Yours or Thames Water’s Responsibility?

Your Responsibility

Owners are generally responsible for internal waste pipes and private drains serving only their property. This can include kitchen and bathroom pipework, gullies within the boundary and the private pipe running towards the point where it connects with a shared or public drain.

Responsibility can be more complicated in converted flats, mansion blocks and managed developments. A communal drain may fall under the freeholder, managing agent or building management company rather than an individual leaseholder.

Thames Water Usually Maintains

Thames Water generally maintains public sewers, public lateral drains and adopted shared sewer sections. A pipe serving more than one property may become Thames Water’s responsibility after the relevant connection point, even where part of the run crosses private land.

An ASAP Drainage engineer can investigate where the blockage appears to sit, whether one or several properties are affected and whether the drain is private or shared.

Our promise: when the evidence indicates that the obstruction is within Thames Water’s network, we will explain the findings and advise you to report it rather than approve private work you may not need.

Renting in Ealing? Notify your landlord or managing agent when a drainage problem develops. Responsibility may depend on whether the cause is structural deterioration, ordinary wear or tenant misuse. With authorisation, ASAP Drainage can communicate with the relevant property contact.

What Happens When You Call ASAP Drainage?

Describe the Drainage Problem

Tell the team what is blocked, how long the problem has been present and whether more than one fixture is affected. Mention any sewage overflow, the property type and access restrictions. You will receive guidance on the likely service, quotation and expected arrival window.

An Engineer Travels to Ealing

A directly employed engineer attends with equipment for common clearance and inspection work. West London attendance is generally available within two hours, subject to traffic, workload and engineer availability.

The Drain Is Cleared or Surveyed

The engineer chooses the method according to the obstruction and access available. Drain rods, mechanical tools, high-pressure water jetting or CCTV equipment may be used.

You Receive Findings and Next Steps

When damage is identified, you receive supporting evidence and a separate repair recommendation. Applicable remedial work carries a 28-day workmanship guarantee, subject to the company’s terms and any maintenance recommendations being followed.

Who turns up

[ENGINEER NAME — TBC], WRc-accredited, covers our Surrey patch. Directly employed by ASAP Drainage — your job is never passed to a franchise subcontractor.

Family-run vs franchise

The national names (Dyno-Rod, Metro Rod, Drain Doctor) route Guildford jobs through franchisees. We’ve been one family’s company since 2012, same standards, same engineers, every job.

Had a big blockage issue that previous plumber couldn’t fix. Chase and Billy do an excellent job, fixed the issue and cleaned up at the end. Really grateful to them both.

Michelle Shelley, Google review

Really efficient, friendly and timely service provided. Had a few bad experiences in the past with other services, this was a breath of fresh air! Highly recommend.

Stuart A, Google review

Excellent job uninstalling one radiator and fitting a new one with underfloor pipes. Work was undertaken quickly by a knowledgeable worker. No fuss and a good price.
