Drains in Bexley: what our engineers see
Bexley is one of London's most suburban boroughs. Much of it was built between the wars, when Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup and Blackfen grew quickly into streets of 1930s semis and short terraces. These houses usually have a private drain that joins a shared run along the backs or fronts of the gardens, and since 2011 those shared sections have generally been Thames Water's responsibility.
Gardens are a big part of life here, and with them come trees, hedges and shrubs planted close to drains. Over the decades roots can push into older clay joints and gradually narrow the pipe. Extensions, conservatories and patios laid over inspection chambers are also common, which can make a blockage harder to reach. A CCTV survey helps map where the drains really run and shows their condition before you build.
In the north of the borough, Erith, Belvedere, Slade Green and Thamesmead sit on low land beside the Thames and the old marshes, alongside industrial estates and newer housing. Lower-lying properties there can be more exposed when heavy rain overwhelms the drains. Further south, Bexley Village and Old Bexley have older cottages and Victorian houses, where the original pipework is worth checking with a camera before buying, extending or renovating.

Bexley drainage FAQs
Do you cover Sidcup, Erith and Bexleyheath?
Yes. We cover the entire London Borough of Bexley, including Bexleyheath, Welling, Sidcup, Blackfen, Erith, Belvedere, Crayford, Slade Green, Barnehurst, Northumberland Heath, Bexley Village and the Bexley side of Thamesmead. We only work within Greater London, so addresses just over the border in Dartford or Swanley are outside our area.
My 1930s semi shares a drain with next door. Who pays if it blocks?
If the blockage is in the shared section, it is generally Thames Water's job, because shared private sewers transferred to the water company in October 2011. If it is in the pipe serving only your house, within your boundary, the cost is usually yours. Lifting the manholes on either side normally shows where the water is standing, and we can confirm it with a camera.
Can you find a drain that has been covered by a patio or extension?
Often, yes. We can insert a CCTV camera from an accessible point, such as a gully or another chamber, and follow the pipe to see where it runs and what condition it is in. The footage helps work out where the hidden section lies and whether it is blocked or damaged. That way you can make an informed decision before lifting any paving.
Do you charge a call-out fee in Bexley?
No. There is no call-out fee anywhere in London, including Bexley. Our engineer looks at the problem and gives you a fixed quote before starting any work, so there are no hidden charges. If you are happy, they get on with it; for an emergency at any hour, call 0800 470 0946, or book a daytime slot online.
