When you want to know about Drain Cleaning Solution, the short version is this: we are a local drainage company serving Greater London and the surrounding counties, available around the clock, with no call-out fee and transparent fixed pricing. We use high-pressure water jetting and CCTV camera surveys to find the real cause of a drainage problem — not just mask it — so the same blockage does not come back three months later.
This page sets out who we are, what we do, and why homeowners, landlords and businesses across Greater London trust us with their drainage. No sales waffle — just the facts you need to decide whether we are the right team for the job.
Drain Cleaning Solution was built on a straightforward idea: drainage work should be honest, fairly priced and done properly the first time. Too many customers had already been let down by engineers who rodded a blockage clear, took the money and left — only for the same problem to return weeks later because the underlying cause was never identified.
We operate across Greater London, bringing the same standard of care to a Victorian terrace in South London as to a commercial premises in the City. Our engineers are fully insured and carry the equipment needed to handle everything from a simple kitchen blockage to a collapsed sewer lateral.
Our core services cover the full drainage cycle — from emergency clearance through to long-term maintenance. Here is a summary of what we provide:
You can browse the full list on our drainage services page.
Most blockages do not appear overnight. Grease coats the pipe wall gradually; wet wipes and hair snag on rough joints; limescale narrows the bore over months. The blockage feels sudden, but the build-up has been happening for a long time. Rodding pushes the immediate obstruction clear, yet the underlying coating or structural defect remains.
A CCTV survey changes that. The camera travels the full length of the drain and records exactly what is there — root ingress, displaced joints, grease accumulation, or a collapsed section. We can then jet the line clean and, where needed, repair or reline the affected section so the problem is resolved permanently rather than temporarily.
It is also worth knowing that since the October 2011 private-sewer transfer, your water company — Thames Water across most of Greater London — is responsible for maintaining shared drains and lateral drains that run beyond your property boundary. That means many blockages affecting London homes are not legally the homeowner's problem to fix. We will always tell you honestly which side of that boundary an issue sits on. For further guidance on drain ownership, the Building Regulations Approved Document H sets out the relevant responsibilities clearly.
