Drain Unblocking in Kensington — Local Specialists
Kensington and Chelsea is London’s most prestigious borough, with some of the most valuable Victorian and Georgian terraces in the world. Many properties date to the mid-19th century and still have original lead and clay drainage systems. Basement conversions — extremely common in this area — can complicate drainage and increase the risk of sewage backup if drains are not maintained.
Drainage in Kensington is less glamorous than the streetscapes suggest. Behind the white stucco facades and garden squares of Kensington, Notting Hill and Holland Park run original mid-Victorian lead and clay pipes, often on shared lines between properties, and many of these are still carrying flows they were never designed for. The borough’s passion for basement conversions adds another layer of difficulty: when a lower-ground floor is dug out, the existing drains are often re-routed or left at odd angles, and a basement WC or kitchen sits below the level of the main sewer — which is exactly the situation where a blockage upstream means sewage backs up into the lowest point of the property first.
We work across Kensington, Notting Hill, Holland Park, Earl’s Court, South Kensington and the Chelsea and Knightsbridge borders, and we are experienced with the peculiarities of high-value period homes — delicate finishes, restricted access through basements, and shared drains that run under neighbouring gardens. Our engineers jet, rod, cut roots and run CCTV cameras down original clay and lead lines, and we are careful to work cleanly and quickly around fitted kitchens and lower-ground flats.
If you own or are buying a basement flat, the single most important piece of maintenance is keeping the run to the sewer clear, because a basement has nowhere for waste to drain to if the line is full. A periodic CCTV survey of an old clay or lead drain is cheap insurance for a property of this value — it catches a cracking pipe before it undermines a basement wall. Call 020 8050 8258 and we will come and assess yours.
