The service
Drainage Groundworks in South-East London
Groundworks is where a quick unblock won't cut it and a section of drain needs replacing, rerouting or building from scratch — anywhere across CR, BR, SM and SE. We survey first, usually with a camera, so the quote's based on what's actually under the ground, not a guess. It's all priced in writing, built to current Building Regs, tested and put back as we found it, and backed by a 5-year warranty.

Why call us
What you actually get when you call.
Most "local" drainage sites are national franchises in disguise: a switchboard, a marked-up price, and a stranger off the rota. Call us and you get a straight answer, a fair price up front, and a job we stand behind.
- A real person, every time. No switchboard, no "we'll pass it on". You speak to the engineer who is coming.
- A clear price before we set off. We give you a clear price and an honest ETA on the phone — no surprises on the invoice, no doorstep upsell.
- In writing, up to 5 years. 10 days on unblocks, 30 on CCTV findings, 2 years on plumbing, 5 years on groundworks.
- Certified for the work. WJA for drain jetting, plus IPAF, EUSR and City & Guilds. Most local rivals hold none of these.
