Drains in Hackney: what our engineers see
Hackney's housing is a patchwork. Victorian terraces fill much of Stoke Newington, Clapton and the streets around London Fields, while De Beauvoir Town has handsome early Victorian villas. Alongside them sit large post-war council estates and, increasingly, new apartment blocks in Dalston, Hackney Wick and Shoreditch. Each brings different issues: ageing clay pipes in the terraces, long shared stacks in estates and modern blocks, and mixed old and new connections where sites have been redeveloped.
The borough's eastern edge follows the River Lea and Hackney Marshes, and the Regent's Canal runs along its southern side. Low-lying streets near the Lea can feel the effects when heavy rain overloads the combined sewers, which carry both rainwater and waste in this part of London. Keeping your own drains free of fat and wipes means they have the best chance of coping when the system is under strain.
Hackney is also one of London's busiest places to eat and drink out. Kingsland Road, Broadway Market, Shoreditch and Church Street in Stoke Newington are packed with restaurants, bakeries and bars, and kitchen grease is a constant risk for their drains and the sewers they share. We jet commercial lines out of hours and can record CCTV footage so landlords and tenants can see what is going on.

Hackney drainage FAQs
Do you cover all of Hackney, including Shoreditch and Stamford Hill?
Yes. We cover the whole London Borough of Hackney: Shoreditch, Hoxton, Haggerston, De Beauvoir Town, Dalston, London Fields, Hackney Central, Homerton, Hackney Wick, Clapton, Hackney Downs, Stoke Newington and Stamford Hill. We take on both household jobs and commercial work for shops, bars, restaurants and offices.
I rent a flat in Dalston. Is my landlord responsible for a blocked drain?
Usually, yes. Landlords are generally responsible for keeping drains in rented homes in working order. Tenants can be liable if the blockage was caused by something they put down the drain, such as wet wipes or cooking fat. Check your tenancy agreement, and if a shared sewer outside the boundary is blocked, that is generally a matter for Thames Water.
How do I stop my Hackney restaurant's drains blocking with grease?
Never pour fat or oil down sinks, scrape plates into the bin and make sure any grease trap is emptied regularly. Even then, grease builds up inside pipes over time. Scheduled high-pressure jetting keeps lines clear, and a CCTV survey shows how quickly fat is building up so you can plan cleaning before it causes a closure.
Is there an emergency plumber for blocked drains in Hackney on bank holidays?
Yes. Our drain engineers work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including bank holidays. Call 0800 470 0946 and we will send someone as quickly as possible, with a fixed price agreed before any work starts. We specialise in drains, toilets, sinks, sewer jetting and CCTV surveys.
