Emergency Drain Unblocking, Jetting & CCTV Surveys in Kensington, W8

Cooper & Sons Drainage covers Kensington as part of our regular SW London patch. As a family-run business, part of the same family behind Cooper & Sons Roofing, we focus on six core services: 24/7 emergency drain unblocking, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys, sewer cleaning, root removal and manhole unblocking, with the discretion Kensington’s mansion blocks and mews streets require.

24/7 Emergency Drain Unblocking in Kensington

A blocked toilet, sink, bath or shower doesn’t wait for office hours, including in basement bathrooms well below street level, and our emergency line runs genuinely around the clock. We clear the vast majority of blockages on the first visit, whether it’s a stucco-fronted townhouse near Kensington Church Street or a mansion flat close to Holland Park.

High-Pressure Drain Jetting in Kensington

Where rodding alone won’t shift a blockage, high-pressure water jetting clears grease, scale and root ingress from the full length of the drain run, without disturbing period stonework or a communal garden. It’s the fix we reach for most often on Kensington’s older drain runs, many of which now serve properties extended well below ground.

CCTV Drain Surveys in Kensington

A CCTV survey puts a camera down the line so we can see exactly what’s causing a problem before any work is agreed. As in neighbouring Chelsea, this is one of our most requested services in Kensington, essential before basement extension work, giving contractors and homeowners a clear picture of existing pipework before any excavation is planned.

Sewer Cleaning in Kensington

Routine and reactive sewer clearance keeps a property’s main connection running freely, particularly important across Kensington’s mansion blocks and converted townhouses, where several flats often share a single sewer connection. We clear the blockage, confirm the line’s flowing properly afterwards, and use CCTV to isolate which flat is contributing to a recurring problem.

Root Removal in Kensington

Mature trees around Holland Park and Kensington’s garden squares are a recurring cause of root ingress into older clay pipework. We clear root growth mechanically or with jetting depending on severity, and advise honestly on whether ongoing management or relining a section of pipe is the better long-term answer.

Manhole Unblocking in Kensington

A surcharging manhole or inspection chamber is often the first visible sign of a blockage further down the line, and in a mansion block it can affect several flats at once. We clear it quickly to stop the immediate overflow, then trace the actual cause, coordinating with porters and building management where needed.
