Croydon is one of our busiest and most familiar areas. The London Borough of Croydon is large and varied — from the dense town centre and commercial core of CR0 and CR9 to the quiet residential streets of South Croydon (CR2), the Victorian terraces of Addiscombe, the post-war housing of Thornton Heath, and the more rural southern fringe around Selsdon, Sanderstead, and Purley.
The drainage challenges across Croydon vary by area, but the pattern is consistent with the rest of South London: the older the housing, the more likely the drainage needs attention. The Victorian terraces of South Croydon and Addiscombe — many of them now converted into flats — sit above original clay drainage that was laid in the 1880s and 1890s. After 130+ years, these systems are showing their age. Root intrusion is particularly common along streets lined with mature London plane and cherry trees, where roots seek out the moisture around pipe joints and gradually force their way in.
Croydon town centre and the Purley Way area see a different set of problems. The high density of restaurants, takeaways, and food businesses generates significant grease load in the shared sewers, and residential properties nearby can experience blockages as a result. High-pressure jetting is the most effective solution here — it doesn’t just unblock the drain, it removes the grease lining the pipe that would cause another blockage in weeks.
For the estates in Thornton Heath and the housing around Norbury, drainage systems are generally younger but still present grease blockages as the primary issue. We cover all of CR0, CR2, and CR9 — as well as Coulsdon, which borders the Surrey countryside and has its own mix of older and newer drainage stock.

Our Drain Services in Croydon
We provide the complete range of drainage services across the Croydon borough:
- Blocked drain clearance — sinks, baths, showers, toilets, outside gullies, manholes, and inspection chambers. Internal and external. Residential and commercial.
- Drain unblocking — rodding and manual clearance for most blockages, mechanical methods where needed. We assess and use the right technique for the job.
- High-pressure drain jetting — the most thorough treatment available. Particularly effective for grease, fat, and accumulated scale. Our jetting equipment operates at pressures up to 4000 PSI, scouring pipe walls clean.
- CCTV drain surveys — camera inspection with written report and video footage. Recommended if you have a recurring blockage, are buying a property, or want to understand the condition of your drainage before it becomes a problem.
- Emergency drain clearance — 24/7, including weekends and bank holidays. If your drain is overflowing or sewage is backing up, call us immediately.
- Drain repairs — pipe relining (no excavation required in many cases), joint sealing, section replacement, and full excavation repair. We diagnose with CCTV first and recommend the least disruptive effective solution.
