Blocked Drains


Greg Holme

Recommended Posts

I called Dave from Down the Drain on Monday with a blocked kitchen outflow pipe after recommendations on here and also a plumber. Came this morning at 7.30 and had it fixed within 15 minutes with no bother, fuss or mess.


Very polite and professional gentleman who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you are unfortunate enough to have blocked pipes/drains.

There are a lot of diy methods for unclogging drains. The easiest method is to just flush the drain with boiling water. What I normally use is a mixture of salt and baking soda.Take about ? cup of salt and then about ? cup of baking soda and then pour it down the blocked drain. You could use baking soda and vinegar or even bleach. Here?s a blog that mentions some safe chemical free diy methods to unblock your drains(http://www.brothersplumbing.ca/blog/unclog-drain/6-ways-unclog-drain/).

Dave from Down the Drain came today to sort out my blocked loo. He sorted it right away. He was very prompt at returning my call and to make arrangements for coming over. I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND them. Only charged me ?45. Very reasonable. http://down-the-drain.co.uk/. 020 8314 5244.
Big recommendation for Dave Down the Drain. He came to us quickly when we had an emergency sewage drain problem and fitted us in around existing booked work because he saw what a bad (and emotional!) state we were in. He was very knowledgeable and just an all round great guy. So grateful to him for helping us out and getting it sorted. He's the sort of guy who goes the extra mile for his customers. Thank you!

I too recommend Dave from Down the Drain. We tried everything ourselves first, before calling Down the Drain. Dave came first thing the next day and swiftly sorted out our blocked sinks. A very thorough and informative person whose rates are good too. Great to have someone you can trust coming to do a job that's not often needed.

I called Dave from Down the Drain yesterday on the back of this thread, for a drain that was flooding out onto our patio. Dave clearly set out his rates, which were very reasonable, over the phone, and was round in about an hour.


He unblocked the drain very quickly and checked everything was working properly, and even checked further down the drain to make sure it wasn't cracked with the cold weather. First class job, and a friendly chap too, so I would definitely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.


His number is 020 8314 5244.

Phoned Dave from Down the Drain on Tuesday evening; asked for him to come at 07:30 on Wednesday - by 07:45 the blockage was clear and he was back at 07:30 on Thursday to do a permanent repair to the very dodgy antique plumbing that had caused the problem. Friendly, efficient, and done for less than the call out charge of some of the bigger firms. All in all - excellent service!

Another recommendation for Dave - fast, good value, effective and polite - cleared an outdoor drain and had him back a few days later to sort a long-standing bathroom sink drainage issue I was so pleased. Great job. Landline number 0208 314 5244 [email protected] www.down-the-drain.co.uk

    • In 2016 London City Airport began using concentrated flight paths. When there's a predominantly westerly wind, incoming aircraft approach from East London (north of the River). When there's a predominantly Easterly wind, incoming aircraft approach the airport from the West: circling through Forest Hill, Dulwich, Vauxhall, Tower Hamlets, Docklands. This latter flight path affects many of us in South East London. https://www.london.gov.uk/who-we-are/what-london-assembly-does/questions-mayor/find-an-answer/london-city-airport-concentrated-flight-paths The planes going into City are often below 2,000 ft, so very noisy. Sometimes we have incoming Heathrow at the same time, flying higher. The early flights that I hear e.g. 04:30 are incoming to Heathrow. They are scheduled to land at 05:30 but are 'early'. Apparently the government allows a percentage of flights to arrive early and late (but these are now established as regular occurrences, informally part of the schedule). IMHO Londoners are getting very poor political representation on this issue. Incredible that if you want to complain about aircraft noise, you're supposed to contact the airport concerned! Preposterous and designed solely in favour of aviation expansion.
    • Yet another recommendation for Jafar. Such a nice guy, really reliable and fair. He fixed a problem with our boiler and then incredibly kindly made two more visits to replace a different part at no extra cost. 
    • I didn't have any problems with plane noise until city airport started flying planes to and from about 5-8 minutes apart from 5.30 am or  6 am,  and even with ear plugs and double glazing I am woken at about 6 well before I usually would wake  up. I have lived here since 1986 and it is relatively recently that the planes have been flying far too low over East dulwich. I very much doubt that they are headinbg to Heathrow or from Heathrow. As the crow flies we are much , MUCH closer to City Airport than Heathrow or Gatwick. I even saw one flying so low you could see all the windows, when I was in Peckham Rye Park.
