Most of Ilford was built in a rush between the 1890s and the First World War, much of it on estates laid out by Archibald Cameron Corbett, the developer behind the Corbett Estate in Catford. Those terraces now sit alongside 1930s semis around Gants Hill and Newbury Park and a cluster of apartment towers in the town centre near the Elizabeth line station. Many of the terraced houses have been converted into flats or extended at the back, so old clay drains shared along the row and boilers working harder than intended are both common.
While you wait
Don't run taps, flush toilets or use the washing machine or dishwasher. More water will only back up further.
Shop-bought drain unblockers rarely clear a main drain and can splash back on you or the engineer.
Sewage carries bacteria. Keep children and pets away from overflowing drains and wash your hands after any contact.
If it's safe and easy to reach, note where your inspection chamber or manhole is. Don't lift heavy covers yourself.
Reviews
Professional from start to finish. Transformed our Victorian terrace.

Fixed pricing, no surprises, completed on time. Couldn't be happier.
FAQs
Rodding is covered by the drainage call-out rate. If high-pressure jetting is needed, the engineer will tell you the jetting rate and get your go-ahead first.
Usually, drains serving only your property are yours, and shared drains beyond your boundary are the water company's. The engineer will tell you what they find.
No. There is no emergency surcharge. You pay the call-out rate for the time of day the engineer arrives (daytime, evening and weekend, or night and bank holiday), the same as any other visit in that band.
Travel within the area we cover, attendance, diagnosis and the first 60 minutes of work. After that, time is charged in 30-minute blocks at the extra-time rate for the same band. Parts are extra, and the engineer confirms the price before fitting anything.
No. Nothing beyond the first hour goes ahead unless you agree to it. If parts need ordering, the return visit to fit them has no second call-out charge. You only pay for the time on site.
