Toilets, downstairs sinks, kitchen waste, outside drains, gullies, and inspection chambers are common issues on the borough's tightly packed Victorian and Edwardian terraces. Converted properties and flats bring their own complications with shared drainage runs that need careful tracing. Main drain connections and drainage for pubs, restaurants and commercial premises around the town centre, including match days near the stadium, round out the work, alongside CCTV surveys wherever the cause isn't visible.
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?
Sitting on the Thames means several Twickenham streets are on low-lying ground, and older combined drainage systems can come under real pressure during heavy rain or high river levels. Fat, oil and grease down kitchen sinks cause plenty of blockages in the borough’s terraced conversions and flats. Wet wipes flushed down toilets behave differently, catching on joints further along shared runs rather than building up gradually. Root ingress from mature street trees and displaced joints in aged clay pipework are common too, particularly on properties that haven’t seen drainage work in decades.
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.

Twickenham Case Study
Recent Drainage Work in Twickenham
Early one Friday, at around 5am to avoid disruption in a busy area, Darren attended a property near Twickenham, in Richmond, where water was suspected of getting into a basement. The inspection chamber sat beneath decking in a public walkway, so he put up safety barriers, lifted the decking and ran a CCTV survey, jetting the 150mm drain upstream and downstream. A heavy build-up of deposits was obscuring the camera, so ASL recommended a full clean and re-inspection to pinpoint any cracks or displaced joints, reporting back to the client before the next step. Read the full job on our Twickenham case study page.

FAQs
How quickly can you get to me in Twickenham?
Same-day response is the priority across Twickenham, with most blockages cleared within 30 minutes of the engineer arriving.
How much does it cost to unblock a drain in Twickenham?
Price depends on the blockage and whether the run is shared with neighbours, but most are cleared for under £100 including VAT, with a free, no-obligation quote first.
Who is responsible for the drain, me or the water company?
Thames Water is generally responsible for the public sewer in Twickenham. But bear in mind that pipework within your boundary is your responsibility, though shared drains in converted properties can complicate that. Expert advice may be required.
Do heavy rain or high river levels cause more blockages in Twickenham?
Yes. The low-lying, riverside position means older combined drainage can come under extra pressure during storms or high water on the Thames.
What is a CCTV drain survey, and do I need one?
A camera inspection that identifies exactly what's causing a blockage. Once we've unblocked the drain we'll do a complimentary 10-minute look-see to make sure it's flowing freely, and anything we spot gets photographed or reported to you.
Can you fix a drain without digging up my garden?
We try to cause as little disruption as possible with no-dig lining or patch repair, depending on what the survey shows.
