Domestic Drainage in Greenwich
Greenwich has a mix of historic housing, post-war estates and major modern developments along the river and around transport hubs. This means drainage can vary from older clay systems to modern plastic pipework, often with shared runs and difficult access.

Case Study: Blocked Stack in Greenwich (SE10)
A converted building in Greenwich town centre had ongoing problems with toilets blocking on the upper floors. Our engineer attended, cleared the blockage and carried out a CCTV inspection from the stack. We found a build-up of scale and debris in a horizontal run. After cleaning and descaling the line, the stack returned to normal operation and the number of call-outs dropped significantly.
Case Study: Surface Water Drainage – Thamesmead (SE28)
A property in Thamesmead was experiencing regular flooding on the driveway during heavy rain. We traced and surveyed the surface water drains, identifying a partial collapse and heavy silt build-up. Once the line was repaired and jet-cleaned, water was able to drain away properly, reducing pooling and standing water outside the property.
Greenwich Drainage Challenges
Drainage in Greenwich can be affected by mixed-age pipework, riverside ground conditions, tree roots and complex shared systems in larger developments. Our local experience helps us find practical, cost-effective solutions.
- Older clay drains with cracks and displaced joints
- Root ingress from mature trees and planting
- Shared drainage runs serving flats and maisonettes
- Surface water and foul drainage interacting in older systems
