What's Behind Most Paddington Drain Blockages
Paddington’s Victorian terraces and canal side developments both run on plumbing built for a different era, and drains are usually where that shows first. Cast iron pipework under older streets can crack over time, so a slow sink or gurgling toilet usually means something further down needs clearing.
Equipment for Stubborn Blockages.
Drain jetting alongside traditional rodding clears blockages that plunging or shop bought chemicals can’t reach, useful where roots and grease have narrowed older pipes.
Indoor and Outdoor Drainage Covered.
Blocked kitchen sinks and external drains backing up in a shared courtyard are both handled by the same engineers.
One Engineer for the Full Job.
If a blockage turns out to be linked to a leaking gully or damaged pipe, the same engineer deals with it directly.
A Proper Look Before Any Quote.
For anything beyond a straightforward unblock, the drain run is assessed first, sometimes with a camera, before repairs are recommended.

I invited Reid Plumbing to install 2 radiators, one in the kitchen and the other in the bathroom including boxing in the pipework. Jay assessed the job with a quiet confidence that immediately reassured me they were the right team for the work. They worked extremely hard over the two days scheduled for the installation and I’m very pleased with the finished result. I already have more work planned for the new year and will be hiring Jay again without hesitation. I would happily recommend Jay and his team.Posted on Google![]()

I can’t express how pleased I am with how Jay approached the job. There was a lot of challenge setting a date to shut down the water with our council, and Jay was very understanding and accommodating. Once the date was nailed down, Jay turned up and completed the jobs swiftly and efficiently. He also did some testing to make sure there’s no leakage. Everything is looking great so far! Highly recommend to anyone in need of some help.

Frequently Asked Questions
We would love to answer all of your questions here on the site, but if there is more information you need, don’t hesitate to reach out by calling our number below.
Why do drains keep blocking in older Paddington properties?
Much of the original Victorian drainage is narrower and more prone to root ingress than modern pipework. Grease and debris build up faster, so a drain cleared once can block again if the underlying condition isn’t addressed.
Can you unblock a shared drain in a converted house?
Yes, the team can identify whether a blockage sits within one property or a shared run. Where it’s shared, advice is given on next steps with a managing agent.
Do you offer jetting for restaurants near the station?
Yes, commercial kitchens generate more grease than a typical home, a common cause of blockages. A maintenance schedule can be discussed to reduce repeat call outs.
How quickly can someone come out?
Response depends on urgency and current bookings, though actively backing up drains are prioritised. Calling with details gives a realistic idea of timing.
Will you know if a drain needs repairing rather than clearing?
Repeated blockages in the same spot often mean a crack or root damage rather than a simple blockage. The engineer explains findings before any further work goes ahead.
