Local knowledge
How Greenwich drains fail
Greenwich housing is dominated by period conversions, post-war estates and new riverside towers. The mix of Victorian conversions, post-war estates, and modern towers often creates complex drainage networks, where older shared clay pipes from conversions can conflict with newer systems.
Knowing the local building stock matters: it tells us what pipe material and depth to expect, and which method will clear or diagnose the problem fastest — before we arrive.

Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
Common drainage problems in Greenwich
Shared Victorian Clay Pipe Collapse
Many period conversions in Greenwich share ageing clay drainage pipes. These can crack or collapse over time, leading to blockages and backups that affect multiple properties simultaneously. Our emergency teams are experienced in tracing these shared runs and executing rapid repairs.
Post-War Estate Drainage Conflicts
Drainage systems on post-war estates often have complex layouts where older sections meet newer additions. This can cause flow restrictions and recurring blockages. We dispatch engineers who understand these specific estate layouts to resolve conflicts quickly.
High-Rise Waste Stack Blockages
The riverside towers rely on vertical waste stacks serving many floors. A blockage in one of these stacks can cause backups on multiple levels, requiring urgent attention. Our 24/7 crews are equipped to diagnose and clear high-rise drainage emergencies safely.
System Overload from Mixed Developments
The borough's mix of old and new housing can overload combined drainage networks, especially during heavy rain. This mismatch between old clay pipes and modern high-volume inputs leads to frequent emergencies. We provide rapid response to relieve pressure and prevent internal flooding.
