Drains in Wandsworth: what our engineers see
Wandsworth's housing is largely Victorian and Edwardian, from the dense terraces in the streets between Wandsworth and Clapham Commons to the larger villas of Putney and Tooting Bec. Plenty of those homes have since gained loft and kitchen extensions, and building work over an old clay drain can crack it or leave a manhole buried and out of reach. A camera survey before you extend tells you what is under the floor, and whether a build-over agreement with Thames Water is likely.
Commons and tree-lined avenues are a defining feature here, and mature trees close to old pipes mean root intrusion is one of the more common faults we find. Roots enter through hairline cracks and joints, then thicken into a mat that traps paper and wipes. Cutting them out with jetting equipment restores flow, though a badly damaged section may need repair.
The borough also sits on the Thames and on the River Wandle, which runs through Earlsfield and Wandsworth Town before reaching the Thames. Low-lying homes and basement flats near the rivers can be more exposed to slow drainage and backflow in storms. Northcote Road, Tooting's markets and the bars around Clapham Junction add plenty of commercial kitchens, where fat and grease are the usual culprits behind blocked drains.

Wandsworth drainage FAQs
Which parts of Wandsworth do you cover?
All of it. Our engineers work in Battersea, Nine Elms, Clapham Junction, Wandsworth Town, Putney, Roehampton, Southfields, Earlsfield, Balham, Tooting and Furzedown, and every street in between. If you are close to a borough boundary, we also cover neighbouring Lambeth, Merton and Richmond, so give us your postcode when you call.
I'm planning a kitchen extension in Balham. Do I need a drain survey?
It is strongly worth having one. Many terraced houses have a drain running beneath the back of the property, and extending over it without checking can cause problems later. A CCTV survey shows the route and condition of the pipe, and helps you work out whether you need a build-over agreement with Thames Water before construction starts.
Why do my drains keep blocking after being cleared?
Repeat blockages usually mean something in the pipe is catching waste, such as tree roots, a cracked or displaced joint, or a build-up of grease. Clearing restores flow but does not fix the underlying cause. A CCTV survey lets us see exactly what is happening and recommend the right next step, rather than unblocking the same drain again and again.
Can I book a drain engineer for a weekend in Putney?
Yes. We work seven days a week, including weekends and bank holidays. For non-urgent jobs, use our online booking page to pick a day and a morning, afternoon or late-afternoon window.
