Drains in Hammersmith and Fulham: what our engineers see
Long streets of late Victorian and Edwardian terraces define much of this borough, especially the so-called Fulham peninsula between Parsons Green and the river and the roads around Brook Green and Ravenscourt Park. Many of these houses still have their original clay drains running under the back yard or beneath a rear extension, and decades of ground movement leave joints open to silt, wipes and roots.
A large share of homes have been split into flats, and conversions frequently share one drain run to the sewer. When it blocks, the ground-floor flat tends to notice first, as toilets and gullies at the lowest level overflow while upstairs residents carry on using water. Clearing the run and then filming it with a camera shows whether the shared pipe has a defect that will keep catching debris.
The Thames frames the borough on two sides, and riverside homes around Sands End, Fulham Palace and Hammersmith Riverside can see drains slow during prolonged heavy rain when the local sewers are under pressure. Inland, the busy food streets of Shepherd's Bush, King Street and Fulham Road mean grease from commercial kitchens is a regular cause of blocked shared drains. Regular jetting and properly maintained grease traps go a long way towards preventing repeat call-outs for businesses.

Hammersmith and Fulham drainage FAQs
Can you get to White City, Shepherd's Bush and Fulham quickly?
Yes. We work across the whole borough, from Old Oak and White City in the north down through Hammersmith to Fulham and Sands End by the river. We aim to reach emergencies as quickly as possible, so call 0800 470 0946 and we will give you an ETA for your address.
Our ground-floor flat keeps flooding when upstairs neighbours use water. Why?
This usually points to a blockage in a drain shared by both flats. Water from upstairs has nowhere to go, so it backs up and appears at the lowest outlet, which is your toilet, shower or gully. We can jet the shared run and check it on camera. Responsibility for shared drains is often the freeholder's, so check your lease.
Is Thames Water responsible for blocked drains in Fulham?
Sometimes. Since October 2011, drains shared with neighbours or lying outside your boundary have generally been Thames Water's responsibility. A pipe serving only your home and sitting within your boundary is usually yours. If you are not sure where the blockage is, a quick inspection or CCTV survey will show which section is affected.
Do you clean drains for restaurants on King Street and Fulham Road?
Yes, we work with commercial kitchens, pubs, cafes and shops across the borough. High-pressure jetting removes fat and grease build-up from drains and can be booked at quieter times so service is not disrupted. Combined with a well-maintained grease trap, it helps prevent fat, oil and grease from blocking the drain again.
