Drains in Havering: what our engineers see
Havering feels more suburban than most of London, and its drains reflect that. Hornchurch, Upminster, Elm Park and Collier Row are dominated by interwar and post-war semis and bungalows, many with long rear drain runs, extensions and loft conversions. Gidea Park has early twentieth-century garden-suburb houses, and Harold Hill is a large post-war estate, where shared drains serving several homes are common.
Large gardens and plenty of trees mean root ingress is one of the most frequent causes of blocked drains in the borough, particularly in older clay pipes and where hedges or mature trees sit near an inspection chamber. Rivers matter too: the Rom, the Beam and the Ingrebourne flow south through the borough to the Thames at Rainham, and low-lying areas near these rivers and the marshes can see drains struggle after heavy rain.
Romford is one of East London's biggest shopping centres, with a market, retail parks and a busy night-time economy of bars, restaurants and takeaways. Grease from those kitchens builds up in commercial drains and the sewers beyond. Rainham and the riverside also have industrial estates and warehouses with large drainage systems. We clear blockages, jet long runs and survey pipes for homes and businesses alike.

Havering drainage FAQs
Do you cover all of Havering, including Rainham and Harold Hill?
Yes. We work across the whole London Borough of Havering, including Romford, Gidea Park, Collier Row, Harold Hill, Harold Wood, Hornchurch, Emerson Park, Elm Park, Upminster, Cranham, Rainham and South Hornchurch. We serve Greater London only, so we do not cover nearby Essex towns such as Brentwood or Grays.
Who fixes a shared drain on a Havering estate, me or Thames Water?
Shared drains and sewers that serve more than one property, or run outside your boundary, have generally been Thames Water's responsibility since October 2011. The pipe serving only your home within your boundary is usually yours, or your landlord's or housing provider's if you rent. We can survey the pipe with a camera to show where the blockage is.
My bungalow in Hornchurch has a slow drain that keeps coming back. What is causing it?
A recurring slow drain usually means something inside the pipe is catching waste, often tree roots, a displaced joint, a sag in the pipe or a build-up of fat. Plunging only gives temporary relief. We jet the drain to clear it fully, then a CCTV survey can identify the underlying fault so you can decide what to do next.
How quickly can you reach Romford in an emergency?
We are available 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays, and with more than 20 vans across London we will get an engineer to you as quickly as possible. Call 0800 470 0946 for an ETA. You will get a fixed quote before any work starts, and there is no call-out fee.
