A Tolworth drainage engineer,
on call 24/7 with a clear price before we start.
Local New Malden drainage engineers covering Tolworth. Blocked drains, high-pressure jetting, CCTV surveys and drain repairs, with a clear price agreed before we lift a cover.
Tolworth sits in KT6, about three miles from our base in central New Malden, and it's a mixed bag of housing that keeps us busy all year. You've got a solid core of 1930s semis and terraces along the main arterial routes, a spread of post-war council-built stock, and pockets of 1970s and 80s infill. The drainage jobs we pick up here tend to be blocked drains, root ingress into older clay pipes, and slow-draining kitchens and bathrooms in houses that haven't had their pipework looked at in decades.
We come in off the A240 Ewell Road, which bisects most of the area and tells you a lot about how Tolworth is laid out. The streets running off it east and west are predominantly pre-war, and that means clay pipe runs that are 80-plus years old in places, with push-fit joints that tree roots find easy to exploit. Gardens here have mature limes and horse chestnuts, and those roots travel further than most homeowners expect. Shared lateral drains connecting several semis back to one inspection chamber are also common, which means one blocked property can back up into a neighbour.
Most common Tolworth jobs
- Clearing root-blocked clay drains on pre-war semi-detached properties
- CCTV surveys on older pipe runs before house sales complete
- Kitchen waste backing up due to grease build-up in narrow-bore laterals
- Shared sewer investigations where a blockage is affecting two or more properties
- Patching cracked clay pipe sections with no-dig lining to avoid digging up driveways
- Collapsed inspection chambers on post-war council properties

Tolworth FAQ
Shared lateral drains that serve more than one property and connect to the public sewer are usually Thames Water's responsibility if they were adopted before 2011. We can run a CCTV survey to trace the pipe route and confirm whether it's a shared lateral, which gives you something concrete to take to Thames Water or your neighbour rather than just arguing over whose sink blocked first.
