From manholes, outside gullies and soakaways, to ground-floor toilets and sinks when the boots come off, ASL's engineers handle all of this and much more across Esher and the surrounding patch, including Claygate, Hinchley Wood, Oxshott and Weybridge. A lot of Esher properties have long private drainage runs between the house and the boundary, and those simply take longer to survey and clear than a typical terraced street would.
Toilets
Backing up because of an outside drain blockage, not internal plumbing.
Ground-floor sinks
Draining slowly or overflowing due to blocked external pipes.
Manholes & chambers
Inspection chambers in the garden or driveway that have surcharged.
Downpipes & gullies
Rainwater downpipes and gully outlets that won't clear.
Soakaways
Systems that aren't draining water away as they should.
Commercial drainage
Foul and surface water systems for businesses of any size.
Why Do Drains Get Blocked?
Esher sits on London Clay with pockets of sandier Bagshot ground, but honestly the geology matters less here than the gardens. Long driveways, mature trees, generous plots, drainage runs in Esher tend to run much longer than a typical Surrey town, which gives roots plenty of time to work their way in before anyone notices a problem. The golf courses and equestrian land nearby mean some properties back onto open ground with different drainage demands compared to an ordinary residential street. And because a lot of Esher homes have been extended over decades, ASL often finds a real patchwork of pipe ages and materials on a single property, which calls for a careful look rather than a one-size-fits-all fix.
Kitchen habits
Fat, grease and food waste hardening inside the pipe.
Bathroom items
Wet wipes and sanitary products, even 'flushable' ones.
Nature
Tree roots, silt and leaves finding their way in.
Wear & tear
Scale build-up, cracks or old pipe materials failing.
Build issues
Renovation debris or pipes laid at the wrong gradient.
How We Fix It, Our 5-Step Process
- Call and rapid response Describe the issue, and an engineer is dispatched to your Esher address, normally the same day, subject to availability.
- On-site diagnosis The engineer identifies what's causing the blockage before choosing the most effective method, using a CCTV look-see where the cause isn't obvious.
- Clearing the blockage High-pressure jetting, rodding or mechanical drain milling, chosen to suit the pipe and the problem.
- Confirming the fix Once your drain is flowing freely we show you the evidence, and where appropriate carry out a complimentary 10-minute CCTV look-see to check nothing more serious is hiding further down the line.
- Reporting and next steps If additional work such as no-dig lining or a localised repair is genuinely needed, we explain the options clearly and provide a free, no-obligation estimate.
Esher Case Study
Recent Drainage Work In Esher
In July 2026, Darren attended a detached home in Esher after the customer reported a blocked foul drain. He traced the problem to a gully where a build-up of fat and grease had caused the blockage, and used high-pressure water jetting to clear the drain and restore the flow. A straightforward job, but a good example of why we identify what has caused the problem rather than simply getting the water moving and leaving.

FAQs
How fast can someone get to Esher?
Same-day attendance is normally available, subject to engineer availability and workload. Once an engineer is on site, most blockages are cleared within 30 to 45 minutes.
What does it cost to sort a blocked drain?
That comes down to what's causing it and how it needs clearing. A free, no-obligation quote is provided upfront, no surprises later.
Is the drain my responsibility, or the water company's?
In Esher, Thames Water generally covers the public sewer network. Anything within your own property boundary is down to you. If you're not sure which applies, ASL can help work it out.
Can I get someone out at the weekend?
Yes, ASL covers emergency callouts in Esher on weekends as well as weekdays.
What is the free CCTV look-see, exactly?
As standard, every blocked drain job in Esher includes a complimentary 10-minute CCTV look-see so you can see what's likely causing the issue. For long or complex drainage runs, ASL also offers a full CCTV drainage survey with a detailed written report as a separate service.
Will you need to dig up my garden?
In many cases, yes. Lining or patch repairs avoid digging altogether, though the right approach depends on what's found during inspection.
