When a drain backs up, you need a trusted local expert, not an anonymous national call centre. Blocked drains rarely fix themselves, and ignoring the early signs—like a slow sink or foul smells—often leads to overflowing toilets, internal flooding, and costly damage to your property.
At Drainage & Plumbing LTD, we are proud to be a genuine, locally operated response team. Led by our WaterSafe and City & Guilds certified lead engineer, Fred, we are on the road across the borough 24/7. We arrive fully equipped with high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) gear to inspect the problem for free, pinpoint the blockage, and give you a clear, fixed price before any work begins.

Fast Drain Unblocking & Drain Clearance in Croydon
Blocked drains usually start small. A slow sink, a gurgling toilet, or a bad smell often comes first. However, without proper treatment, these signs can quickly turn into a full blockage or overflow.
Because our vans are based right here in the borough, we know the local drainage infrastructure. Whether you are dealing with root ingress in the older clay pipes of a South Croydon Victorian terrace, or fat build-ups in a modern Addiscombe apartment block, our engineers carry the exact high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) and electromechanical equipment needed to clear it.
We can help with:
- Blocked toilets and bathrooms – clearing paper, wipes, and solid obstructions
- Slow-draining sinks – removing grease, fat, and food build-up
- External drains and manholes – clearing leaves, debris, and standing water
- Emergency overflows – stopping water damage before it spreads

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
If my drain is blocked, is it my responsibility or Thames Water’s? Generally, if the blockage is in a private drain within your property boundary that serves only your home, it is your responsibility. If the blockage is in a shared sewer (serving multiple properties) or sits outside your property boundary, it is usually Thames Water’s responsibility. When Fred arrives for your free inspection, he will immediately identify whose jurisdiction the blockage falls under, ensuring you never pay for a repair that Thames Water should handle.
What should I do immediately if my toilet or drain is overflowing? First, do not try to flush it again or run any taps—this will only add more water to the system. If it is a toilet, try to locate the isolation valve on the pipeworks behind the pan and turn it clockwise to stop the water flow. Keep children and pets away from the area due to hygiene risks, and call our 24/7 Croydon emergency line immediately on 07771200075.
How much does emergency drain unblocking in Croydon cost? Because every blockage is different—ranging from simple sink clogs to heavy tree root ingress in older Victorian clay pipes—we do not charge open-ended hourly rates. Fred will inspect the issue for free and provide a clear, fixed price quote before any work begins. If you do not approve the price, you do not pay a penny.
How quickly can you get to me in an emergency? Because we are a genuine local company with our vans based right here in the borough, we are not traveling from miles away. For emergencies, we aim to reach most Croydon postcodes (including CR0, CR2, CR7, Addiscombe, and Shirley) within 45 to 60 minutes.
Do you use CCTV to check why the drain blocked in the first place? Yes. Once we clear the immediate blockage using our high-pressure water jetting (HPWJ) equipment, we can perform a CCTV drain inspection. This is highly recommended for older properties in South and East Croydon to ensure there are no underlying issues like collapsed pipes, displaced joints, or root intrusions causing recurring problems.
