No Dig Drain Lining

Drain lining places a resin liner inside a suitable damaged pipe and cures it to create a new internal surface. It can repair certain cracks, open joints and deteriorated sections without excavating the complete drain run.

From £149 +VAT

CCTV Drain Surveys

Our CCTV drain surveys start from £149 plus VAT for a typical residential property. Surveys include HD footage, defect photographs, a digital report, drain schematic and MSCC5 coding. We also provide homebuyer surveys, drain tracing, Build-Over inspections and commercial drainage investigations throughout Hammersmith.

How Much Does Drain Unblocking Cost in Hammersmith?

Drain unblocking does not carry one universal published price because access, depth and the type of obstruction differ between properties. Before booking, the team asks which fixtures are affected, whether the blockage is inside or outside, the floor level and how the drainage can be reached. A fixed quotation is then confirmed before the engineer travels.

What affects the quote: The figure may be affected by basement access, distance from the nearest manhole, restricted parking, communal pipework and the number of affected outlets. Grease, roots, hardened scale and compacted deposits may require jetting, cutting or flex-shaft equipment. Recurring symptoms can also justify a CCTV inspection before further clearance is attempted.

The standard domestic CCTV survey has its own published fee. Additional reports, structural repairs and lining are priced separately, and remedial work should not proceed without the customer seeing the available evidence and approving the quotation.

Service Typical attendance Price Includes
Emergency drain unblocking 60–90 minutes Fixed quote on the phone Jetting where needed, cleared in one visit or we advise next steps free
Emergency toilet unblocking Same day Fixed quote on the phone Full clearance + cause check

Clear pricing before work begins. Larger homes, mansion blocks, multi-unit buildings and commercial drainage systems may require a wider survey scope. Specialist CCTV work and structural repairs are only added after discussion and approval.

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

Your Responsibility

Owners generally maintain internal waste pipes, gullies inside the property and private drains serving only their address. Responsibility normally extends along the private section until the pipe joins a shared drain, public lateral drain or sewer.

The position can be more complicated in converted houses, mansion blocks, mixed-use buildings, managed estates and apartment developments. A pipe may serve one flat before joining a communal stack or underground run. The lease, freeholder or managing agent may determine who handles shared drainage inside the site.

Thames Water Usually Maintains

Thames Water normally looks after public sewers, public lateral drains and adopted shared sewer sections. Pipes beneath roads and pavements are commonly part of its network, along with qualifying sections that serve more than one property.

An ASAP Drainage engineer can investigate where the obstruction sits, whether neighbouring properties are affected and whether the pipe appears private or shared.

Our approach: private remedial work should not be recommended when the inspection evidence indicates that the fault belongs to Thames Water. You will be advised to report the issue to the water company.

Tenants and leaseholders: notify your landlord, freeholder or managing agent where communal drainage may be involved. With authorisation, we can speak directly with your landlord, letting agent or property manager.

What Happens When You Call?

Describe the Problem

Explain which fixture or drain is affected, whether wastewater is overflowing and whether several outlets have stopped working. Property type, floor level, access arrangements, parking restrictions and managing-agent details help the team confirm the likely service, fixed quotation and attendance window.

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.

Blocked Drains in Hammersmith: Your Questions Answered

The quotation depends on access, the position of the obstruction and the equipment needed. ASAP Drainage asks about the symptoms before providing a fixed price, which is confirmed before attendance. Extra CCTV work or repairs are discussed and quoted separately rather than added automatically.

Hammersmith is close to the company’s Chiswick base and forms part of its immediate West London operating area. Engineers typically attend West London within two hours. Traffic, roadworks, demand and engineer availability can affect the actual journey, so you receive an estimated arrival window when booking.

Yes. Emergency drainage assistance is available 24 hours a day, including nights, weekends and bank holidays. Call with your W6 postcode, property type and a description of the blockage so the team can confirm the likely service, current arrival estimate and fixed quotation.

Coverage includes Hammersmith Broadway, King Street, Ravenscourt Park, Brackenbury Village, Brook Green, Hammersmith Town Hall and riverside W6 developments. Properties described as Hammersmith but located close to Shepherd’s Bush, West Kensington or Chiswick should be checked by postcode.

Thames Water generally maintains public sewers, public lateral drains and adopted shared sections. A private drain serving only one property is normally the owner’s responsibility. In a block of flats or mixed-use building, the freeholder or managing agent may be responsible for communal pipes.

Yes, where suitable access is available. Wastewater backing up below street level needs urgent assessment because the obstruction may sit in a shared or main drain. The engineer can inspect the affected fixtures, attempt clearance and use CCTV equipment where the deeper cause remains uncertain.

Yes. Homebuyer drain surveys can provide camera footage, a written report, drain schematic, MSCC5 defect coding and repair recommendations. They are particularly useful for period houses, basement flats, converted properties and buildings where extensions or alterations may have changed the original drainage layout.

Grease, wipes, scale and silt can cause repeated obstructions, but recurring problems may also indicate roots, displaced joints, deformed pipes, poor gradients or communal drainage faults. A CCTV survey can identify a structural cause that cannot be seen during straightforward clearance.
