Why drains block in Croydon
Croydon has a lot of Victorian terraces in Thornton Heath, South Norwood and Addiscombe, many with their original clay drains. Converted flats share soil stacks, so one blockage can affect several homes, and the southern suburbs sit on chalk and clay that move with the seasons.
Shared soil stacks
Converted flats in central Croydon and Thornton Heath share one stack, so a blockage backs up into several homes.
Victorian clay drains
Old pipework in South Norwood and Addiscombe cracks and holds waste, so blockages come back.
Ground movement
Chalk and clay in the southern suburbs move in dry summers and can displace drain joints.
Drains we have cleared in Croydon
Blocked outside gully
The back gully kept overflowing, particularly when the washing machine was running. We jetted the drain to clear a build-up of fat and silt, then checked the flow with plenty of water.
Blocked drain at a shared property
Two flats were having problems with slow drainage, and water had started collecting around the outside inspection chamber. We found a blockage further along the shared pipe, cleared it with jetting and checked the affected outlets afterwards.

What customers in Croydon say
Rated 4.9 out of 5 · 500+ reviews
“Waste water started backing up in our ground-floor flat. They asked the right questions about the shared pipework and explained what they'd found. Really helpful.”
“Had a blocked drain outside our house in South Croydon. The price was talked through first and the engineer checked the flow before he went. No complaints.”
“Two flats in our building were having the same issue, which made it a bit awkward. They were easy to deal with and explained things to everyone without making it complicated.”
