Call 07771 200075 and you speak to an engineer — not a call centre.
The Story Behind Drainage & Plumbing Ltd
Fred started Drainage & Plumbing Ltd after years of watching customers get overcharged, rushed, or handed a quick patch that failed within weeks. The aim was simple: do the job properly, charge a fair price, and treat people the way you would want to be treated. That approach still runs through every job we take on.
When you call, you deal with engineers who have spent their careers in pipework — from a blocked 40mm kitchen waste to a fully collapsed 150mm clay sewer two metres down. In our experience, the difference between a repair that lasts and one that returns is correctly diagnosing the cause first, rather than guessing. That is why we run a CCTV drain survey before committing to any major drain repair.
What does 17 years of drainage experience actually mean for you?
It means we usually find the real fault on the first visit. Over more than 5,900 completed projects across homes, businesses and commercial sites, we have dealt with emergency blockages, flooded manholes, tree-root intrusion, fat build-up and collapsed pipes — so the symptoms tend to tell us the cause before the camera even goes down. Some jobs take an hour; others run all day.
Tree roots are a good example. In many older properties across the South East, Victorian-era clay pipes with loose joints are a magnet for fine root hairs — a process the Royal Horticultural Society explains well in its guidance on tree roots and drains. That is why we follow root-cutting with relining rather than just clearing the blockage and walking away. Getting the method right the first time is what keeps the problem from coming back.
What Our Customers Actually Get
We specialise in drainage, not general plumbing — our work centres on underground pipes, external drains and sewer lines, so the equipment on the van is built for exactly that.
Pricing is explained before anything starts. We tell you what needs doing and what it costs, with no hidden extras at the end and no pressure to agree on the spot. Because our engineers cover a wide regional area, we can often reach urgent call-outs quickly, depending on traffic, distance and engineer availability. Every van carries high-pressure jetting units, CCTV cameras and the specialist tools that let us fix most faults on the first visit.
The last point matters as much as the work itself: we leave your property clean, tidy and safe. That respect for someone's home is part of why people call Drainage & Plumbing Ltd back the next time.
How a Visit Works
Good service starts with a proper conversation. When you get in touch, we ask a few clear questions about the symptoms so we can send the right engineer with the right kit, rather than turning up and improvising.
On site, we inspect the problem carefully, explain the cause in plain language, and confirm the price before any work begins. In most cases we clear or repair the fault straight away, thanks to the jetting and camera equipment already on board. Throughout, we keep you informed so you always know what is happening and why.
Where We Work
We cover a wide part of South East England, including London, Surrey, Sussex, Kent, Hampshire and nearby surrounding areas. This broad coverage helps customers reach an experienced drainage engineer without dealing with a national call centre or a long chain of subcontractors.
Local ground conditions shape a lot of what we see. Clay soil movement, older pipework, root intrusion, fat build-up and high groundwater can all put stress on drainage systems across the region. Drainage responsibilities for homeowners are set out by the regulator Ofwat; if you are not sure whether a problem is yours or the water company's, call and we will tell you honestly and arrange a visit.
