A Chessington drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.

Chessington sits in KT9, about three miles south of central New Malden, and it's a mixed bag of housing. You've got post-war semis and bungalows that went up in the 1950s and 60s, pockets of 1970s and 80s estates further out, and some older village-style stock near the original settlement. The drainage calls we get here are typical of that era: slow-draining baths, blocked kitchen stacks and cracked underground runs that haven't had attention since they were laid.

We come into Chessington via the A243 from Malden Road, cutting down through Tolworth. The older residential streets closer to Chessington South station sit on clay soil, which means pipe joints shift over the decades and tree roots find their way in with very little encouragement. A lot of the underground drainage here is still original clay-pipe work, and shared sewers between pairs of semis are common, so a blockage at one property is often affecting the neighbour too. That shared-sewer situation is probably the single most distinctive thing about drainage calls in this part of KT9.
