Blocked Drains

The london water board recently sent out a leaflet saying that main drainage was now their remit.


I do not know what your particular problem is, but I would call them first and see if they can help. I should be free if it is main drainage/waste issues. Maybe!!

Having relied on this forum for a reputable company to inspect a leak from our drainpipes I was very pleased with Jon's work and can highly recommend him. He was very knowledgeable and had suspected the leak was a blockage. This job was not for the fainthearted and he and his son resolved the issue through rodding pipes, cctv inspection and cleaning up well.


If your needing someone to inspect your drains - drainpipes and sewage pipes Jon is the guy you need. Very reasonable rates too.

I can recommend Dave from Down the Drain, he sorted my drains out which had been blocked for ages very quickly and flushed lots of lovely disinfectant down them, to get rid of the dreadful smell. He was extremely responsive and came over within 4 hours of calling.

His charges are extremely reasonable.


Call him on 07919107868 or 0208 314 5244

Just had Jon from drains and mains after being recommended on here. He came over on a Sunday to help fix my blocked drains. His persistence meant the water was back flowing after less than an hour of being here (something dynorod failed to do). He is very reasonably priced and a great chap to boot. Thanks to the forum for putting me on to him.

I would like to recommend Dave from Down the Drain. We had a blocked outside drain, this seems to happen every few years. So far we've always had a well known company in, charging us a small fortune. Thought I'd try Dave. He arrived at the time we agreed, did the job and his prices are extremely competitive. Very nice guy as well! Highly recommended.


His phone number: 07919 107868 or 020 83145244

Another vote for Dave from Down The Drain. Our drains issue was much more complicated than it seemed at the outset. Dave was really clear about what needed doing, did the job well and charged a very reasonable rate for the amount of work that was required. Lovely chap too. Highly recommended.

Can recommend Don The Drain - polite, friendly, and knows his stuff.


Unblocked years of debris from our shared rainwater drain and checked everything was flowing properly all in just under an hour! Turned up on time and stuck to his original quote of ?80.


Would recommend to other ED Forum members.


Don The Drain is on 0793 370956 or 0208 677 3062

Happy to recommend Dave from Down the Drain: 0208 314 5244 / 07919 107868. He phoned me back when he said he would and came out quickly, and sorted our problem quickly and efficiently. Nice guy, too - gave me advice that will save me money in future!

Another recommendation for Dave from Down The Drain. I originally called him a few months ago for a problem that, rather embarrassingly, resolved itself before he arrived. But despite the fact that he had spent half an hour looking for our flat in Tulse Hill ( I am rubbish at giving directions) and then found he had no job to do once he got there, he refused to charge any call out fee and offered my husband advise that would mean we could fix things ourselves next time.


I called him last Friday afternoon about a blocked kitchen drain, he came around first thing on Saturday morning and the problem was resolved within half an hour.


Dave is fast, efficient, very fairly priced and just a very nice guy. We feel very secure knowing if our drains start messing around we will have Dave to help us out. :)

    • Hello, I'm looking for an entertainer for my 9 year old son's birthday party. Looking for someone who can organise some games for the kids as my son and his friends are quite active. Regards, Sue
    • My son’s primary school hatched duck eggs, probably under this scheme around 12 years ago.  We were all very upset to hear that 2 of the (5 year old) boys had knocked the incubator over & all eggs smashed.   feeling a lot less sad about that now!  
    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
