A toilet that fills rather than flushes, a sink that drains slowly, or wastewater backing up into a shower can indicate a blocked drain. Overflowing gullies, sewage near a manhole, unpleasant smells, or several fixtures slowing down at once may suggest a deeper obstruction. If the issue keeps returning, damaged or restricted pipework could be the cause.
ASAP Drainage assists homes, flats, HMOs, managed developments, and commercial premises across Putney, including shops, restaurants, pubs, offices, schools, and leisure facilities.
How attendance is arranged: Putney is within ASAP Drainage’s primary South West London coverage area. Engineers travel from across the region, with typical attendance within two hours, subject to traffic, workload, and availability. An estimated arrival window is provided when booking.
ASAP Drainage handles blockages, drain inspections and repairs across Putney using professional clearance and survey equipment.
Fixed quote on the phone
We clear blocked drains, waste pipes, gullies and manholes for homes and businesses throughout Putney. Grease, wipes, roots and debris can be removed using jetting, mechanical tools or specialist cleaning equipment.
Fixed quote on the phone
We unblock toilets that will not flush, overflow or repeatedly back up in residential and commercial properties. If multiple toilets are affected, we can investigate whether the blockage extends into the main drainage system.
Quoted after survey
We repair cracked pipes, root damage, displaced joints, collapsed drains, damaged gullies, and defective manholes. Repairs are only recommended after CCTV inspection confirms the location and extent of the defect.
Quoted after survey
Drain lining creates a new internal pipe surface without excavating the entire drain run. Suitable for certain cracks and joint defects, subject to CCTV findings and pipe condition.
From £149 +VAT
Includes HD footage, digital report, schematic, defect photographs, MSCC5 coding, and repair recommendations. Homebuyer, insurance, mapping, and commercial surveys are also available with tailored reporting options.
Describe the symptoms, the number of affected fixtures, and the available access when you call. The team can advise whether the first visit should focus on clearing the obstruction, inspecting the pipe with a camera, tracing the drainage route or assessing a suspected repair.

There is no universal charge for every blocked drain because access, depth, and the obstruction vary between properties. Before booking, ASAP Drainage asks what is affected, whether the problem is inside or outside, and how the nearest manhole or rodding point can be reached. A fixed quotation is then confirmed before the engineer travels.
What moves the price: The price may depend on the distance from the access point, the number of affected fixtures, and whether the drainage serves one property or several. Basement locations, restricted parking, and difficult loading access can also affect how the work is arranged.
CCTV surveys are priced separately from blockage clearance. Where inspection identifies structural damage, the engineer explains the evidence before providing a separate written quotation for repairs or lining.

No call-out fee and no unapproved extras. Larger homes, apartment blocks, institutional premises, and commercial sites may contain several drainage runs or need additional access planning. These properties can require a broader survey scope and separate quotation.
ASAP Drainage covers homes, businesses, and managed developments across SW15.
Busy shops, restaurants, pubs, and flats create heavily used drainage systems. Grease build-up, shared drains, blocked toilets, and urgent commercial drainage issues are common reasons for attendance.
Victorian terraces, converted flats, and family homes often feature altered drainage layouts. CCTV surveys, drain tracing, and investigations into recurring blockages are frequently requested in this area.
Period homes, mansion blocks and conservation streets can contain older drainage infrastructure. CCTV inspections, root ingress investigations and no dig lining may help minimise disruption.
Detached homes, flats and residential estates sit near mature trees and open spaces. CCTV surveys can identify root ingress, damaged joints and recurring drainage defects.
Riverside apartments, houses and commercial premises often rely on shared drainage systems. Basement drainage issues, communal investigations and access-sensitive repairs are regularly required.
Residential estates, schools and institutional buildings may contain complex drainage networks. Planned jetting, CCTV surveys and drain mapping help facilities teams manage these systems.

ASAP Drainage operates 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including overnight, weekends, and bank holidays.
A toilet may overflow in an East Putney flat, or a restaurant drain may back up near the High Street during service. Sewage entering a riverside basement or a communal blockage affecting a mansion block can be equally urgent. Emergency work is handled by ASAP Drainage and attended by directly employed engineers. Call for the current attendance estimate and confirmed quotation.
Owners generally maintain internal waste pipes, gullies within the property boundary and private drains serving only their address. This normally includes the private section running from the building until it reaches a shared sewer or public lateral drain.
Responsibility may be more complicated in converted houses, mansion blocks, managed estates, flats above shops, mixed-use buildings, and institutional properties. A drainage run may serve one unit before joining communal pipework. The landlord, freeholder, managing agent or facilities manager may therefore be responsible for part of the system.
Thames Water generally maintains public sewers, public lateral drains and adopted shared sewer sections. A pipe that carries waste from several properties may fall within its network, including qualifying shared sections that cross private land.
An ASAP Drainage engineer can investigate where the obstruction appears to sit, whether one or several properties are affected and whether the pipe is private or shared.
Our approach: when the available evidence indicates that the fault lies within Thames Water’s network, you will be advised to report it rather than approve private repair work that may not be your responsibility.
Tenants and leaseholders: Notify your landlord, freeholder or managing agent where communal drainage may be involved. Liability depends on the affected section, building arrangement and cause of the blockage.
Explain which drain or fixture is affected, when the symptoms began and whether wastewater is overflowing. Mention if several fixtures are blocked, along with the property type, floor level, access to the drain or manhole, parking restrictions and details of any landlord or managing agent. The team then confirms the likely service, fixed quotation and estimated attendance window.
A directly employed engineer attends with equipment suited to common clearance and inspection work. Putney is typically covered within two hours, subject to traffic, workload, access and engineer availability.
The engineer may use drain rods, high-pressure water jetting, flex shaft tools, mechanical cutters, CCTV cameras or sonde tracing equipment. The method depends on the obstruction, pipe condition and available access.
When damage is identified, the customer receives supporting evidence and a separate repair quotation. Qualifying completed work carries the applicable 28 day workmanship guarantee.

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.

The quotation depends on access, the blockage location, and the equipment required. ASAP Drainage confirms a fixed price before attendance.

Yes. Emergency drainage assistance is available 24 hours a day, including overnight, weekends and bank holidays. Call with your SW15 postcode, property type and a description of the symptoms so the team can confirm the current arrival estimate and fixed quotation.
Coverage includes Putney High Street, East Putney, West Putney, Putney Heath, Putney Vale, Roehampton and riverside SW15 streets. Properties near Wandsworth, Barnes or Mortlake may carry SW18, SW13 or SW14 postcodes and should be checked individually.
Thames Water generally maintains public sewers, public lateral drains and adopted shared sections. A private drain serving only one property usually remains the owner’s responsibility. Communal pipework inside a managed development may also fall to the freeholder or managing agent.
Yes. A homebuyer CCTV survey records the accessible pipe condition, visible defects and drainage layout. Reports can include footage, photographs, a schematic, MSCC5 coding and repair recommendations. The service is useful for period homes, converted flats, extended houses and mansion block properties.
Roots may enter an existing crack, open joint or damaged section and restrict the flow. Mature trees nearby do not prove that root ingress has occurred. CCTV evidence should be obtained before any root removal or structural repair is recommended.
Recurring problems may involve grease, wipes, scale, roots, damaged joints, pipe deformation, poor gradients or communal drainage faults. Repeated clearance can restore flow without identifying the deeper cause. A CCTV investigation can show whether persistent deposits or structural damage remain inside the drain.
