Drainage Services Greenford
Blocked drain clearance, CCTV surveys and no-dig relining for Greenford homes, from engineers who know Greenford buildings.
Local knowledge
Greenford housing, from a drainage engineer's side
Greenford is typified by 1930s semis and post-war terraces, many with original drainage still in place. The area has a significant number of homes with solid concrete floors at ground level, making access to underground pipework for repairs more invasive. Gardens are generally modest, but the pipe runs from house to sewer can be convoluted due to the estate layouts. Original iron downpipes often feed into the clay underground drains, and corrosion at this junction is a common issue.

What fails here
Common drainage problems in Greenford
01
Concrete Floor Access
Repairing drains under solid concrete floors requires careful breaking and reinstatement. Our pricing model clearly separates the drainage repair cost from the concrete work, so you have a complete picture of the job.
02
Downpipe to Drain Junction Failure
The point where cast-iron rainwater downpipes meet clay drains is a common corrosion and blockage hotspot. Failure here can cause flooding along house walls and requires specific junction repair techniques.
03
Estate Layout Drainage
The layout of some post-war estates means drains take circuitous routes to the main sewer, with multiple gentle bends that trap debris. These chronic blockage points are well-known to our local engineers.
04
Partial Pipe Degradation
Pipes often degrade in sections rather than all at once. A CCTV survey identifies the exact failing sections, allowing for targeted, cost-effective repairs. You pay for the survey and the repair you need, nothing more.
Three methods, one visit
High-pressure jetting
Blasts grease, silt and root growth from pipe walls without digging.
CCTV survey
A camera on rods or a crawler unit records the pipe condition end to end.
No-dig relining
A resin liner is cured inside the damaged pipe instead of excavating it.
