Local insights
Drainage in Hammersmith and Fulham: the local picture.
Hammersmith and Fulham drainage covers W6, W12, W14, SW6, and NW10, taking in Hammersmith, Fulham, Shepherd's Bush, White City, Parsons Green, Fulham Broadway, Brook Green, and Wormwood Scrubs. The borough's drainage stock is mostly Victorian: 150 mm clay mains under the Fulham and Brook Green terraces, ex-LCC 150 mm shared runs across W12, and modern PVCu adoptable mains in the White City regeneration cluster. Target arrival is 30 to 60 minutes across all five postcodes.
Fulham SW6 has substantial pre-1965 vitrified clay drainage with original copper waste runs that are now developing pinhole leaks at the connections, and the cumulative load on the 150 mm mains during peak periods produces backups across multiple addresses. Our crews dispatch with the Harben P30 4000 PSI jetting trailer for mainline clearance, a 90 m CCTV crawler with depth-logging for survey work, Sewerin acoustic location for buried laterals, and Picote cutter heads for root intrusion at clay joints. Drain unblock priced at our flat half-hour labour rate, with no callout fee (see /pricing), CCTV survey with depth-logged report from £350.
White City regeneration apartments have shared-riser soil stacks that need flow-rate testing before any drain pressure work, and blockages at intermediate floors back into multiple flats simultaneously. We work with managing agents to isolate the affected riser, deploy the crawler from the basement plant room, and clear with rotating heads sized to the PVCu bore. Thames Water adopts public sewers upstream of the property boundary, and we map liability before quoting any upstream repair.
CIPP cured-in-place lining to BS EN ISO 11296-4 from £500 per metre (3 m minimum run) is our standard repair across the Brook Green and Parsons Green conservation streets where excavation would damage Victorian forecourts and mosaic pathways. We line clay sections in situ, run a post-cure CCTV survey to verify the new bore, and reinstate to match the original finish. Class B manhole covers in heritage cast-iron stocked for conservation replacements; backflow preventers fitted on basement gullies across SW6 lower-ground flats.
