Blocked drains in Colindale: what we see most

Macerators and pumped drainage in new-build flats, communal stack blockages, and clay drains on the older streets. That is the pattern across NW9. Colindale has changed faster than anywhere near us: thousands of new flats alongside the older 1930s streets. We clear with jetting rather than rods, because rods push the blockage into the shared run and it comes back a fortnight later, and the camera goes down afterwards so you know whether it was a one-off or a joint that needs sealing.

Blocked drains in Colindale and nearby

Most blocked drains in Colindale are cleared on the first visit. The van carries rods, a 4,000 psi jetting unit and a CCTV camera, so a blockage in a gully, a manhole or a shared run behind the houses is cleared and camera-checked in one call-out. If the drain serves more than one property we tell you who is responsible before we start, and the work is quoted on site after the £49 call-out. For blocked drains that keep coming back, a CCTV drain survey shows why and drain relining repairs a cracked pipe without digging.

Blocked drains in Hendon, Kingsbury and Edgware are covered from the same Hendon depot, usually within the hour. Read what to try first while you wait.

Yes, £49. It covers the engineer’s visit and the diagnosis. Anything beyond that is quoted on site before it starts, and you decide whether to go ahead.
Yes, and our guide tells you what is safe to try. Don’t pour caustic drain cleaner into a fully blocked drain; it sits in the pipe and burns the engineer who clears it.
