Blocked Drains in Hounslow
In Chiswick, an Edwardian terrace with a backed-up sewer and an overflowing manhole needs more than a plunger, so we arrive across Hounslow, Brentford, and Isleworth typically within 30 to 60 minutes, with high-pressure jetting and CCTV drain surveys in every van to clear blockages and confirm the cause.

Local insights
Drainage in Hounslow: the local picture.
Hounslow drainage covers TW3, TW4, TW5, TW6, TW7, TW8, TW13, TW14, and W4, taking in Hounslow, Chiswick, Brentford, Isleworth, Feltham, Heston, Bedfont, and Cranford. The borough's drainage stock is layered: Edwardian 150 mm vitrified clay mains under the Chiswick terraces, 1930s 100 mm laterals across Hounslow and Heston, post-war shared runs around Feltham, and modern PVCu adoptable mains in the Brentford riverside cluster. Target arrival is 30 to 60 minutes across all nine postcodes.
Affinity Water serves most of the borough with Thames Water covering Chiswick W4, and the supply-pressure profile affects how scale builds up in waste runs feeding 100 mm soil stacks. Our crews dispatch with the Harben P30 4000 PSI jetting trailer for mainline clearance, a 90 m CCTV crawler for buried-lateral mapping, Sewerin acoustic location for runs that no longer match the original drainage plans, 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.
Heathrow flightpath area planning constraints restrict external vent terminations on properties under the inner approach, and we fit air admittance valves on internal soil-stack reroutes where standard external terminations would breach noise-buffer roof void construction. Brentford riverside new-builds have shared-riser soil stacks rising twenty-plus storeys, and blockages at intermediate floors back into multiple flats; we work with managing agents to isolate the affected riser before clearing.
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 W4 Chiswick 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 replace Class B manhole covers with period-appropriate cast-iron finish. Backflow preventers fitted on basement gullies as standard for properties on the Thames frontage at Brentford and Isleworth.
