We handle every emergency plumbing situation:
Fixed Emergency Call-Out Rate
Transparent emergency pricing:
No hidden fees. No price gouging during emergencies. Fair, transparent pricing always.
Drain unblocking Chelsea costs from £150 + VAT for a standard blocked drain cleared on the first visit. Here are the confirmed prices for every drain unblocking scenario:
Blocked sink or basin: £150-£220 + VAT. Manual auger or electric drain snake. Same-day attendance. Fixed price.
Blocked toilet: £150-£250 + VAT. Immediate clearance. If the toilet is overflowing, do not use any other drains in the property until cleared. Call 020 7129 7418.
Blocked bath or shower: £150-£220 + VAT. Hair and soap build-up are the most common cause. Cleared same day.
Blocked kitchen drain: £180-£280 + VAT. Grease and food build-up in the trap and pipework. High-pressure jetting where manual auger is insufficient.
Blocked external drain or manhole: £220-£380 + VAT. High-pressure water jetting. CCTV investigation from £280 + VAT where blockage cannot be cleared by jetting alone.
Recurring drain blockage: £280-£480 + VAT. CCTV drain survey to identify root cause: root ingress, collapsed pipe, or build-up in an inaccessible section. Fixed-price repair quoted from the survey findings.
All drain unblocking attended same day in most cases. Gas Safe registered. 24/7 for emergency blocked drains. All prices exclude VAT. Call 020 7129 7418.
Blocked drains in Chelsea Victorian and Edwardian period properties have specific causes that modern properties do not share, and understanding them prevents the recurring blockages that some Chelsea homeowners experience every six to twelve months.
The cast iron drainage system: Victorian terraces in Chelsea SW3, Knightsbridge SW1X, and Belgravia SW1 were built with cast iron drainage. Cast iron drainage lasts 100+ years but develops internal corrosion over time. The corroded surface catches debris, grease, hair, and food particles that would pass through smooth modern pipework. The result is blockages that recur every few months in the same section of pipe.
The correct solution is not repeated jetting. It is a CCTV survey to confirm the pipe condition, followed by relining or replacement of the corroded section. From £280 + VAT for the survey. Fixed-price repair from the findings.
The original 4-inch pipework: Victorian drainage was designed for a household with significantly lower water usage than a modern Chelsea family. The original 4-inch diameter pipework handles normal use comfortably but blocks more readily when modern appliances dishwashers, washing machines, multiple bathrooms all connect to the original system.
The shared drain: Victorian terraces share drainage with their neighbours in a party wall drain running beneath the rear gardens. A blockage in the shared section requires access through a neighbour’s property or from the shared manhole at the rear. We manage this access and coordinate with neighbours professionally. From £220 + VAT. Call 020 7129 7418.
Drain unblocking Chelsea immediate actions while waiting for our engineer:
If the toilet is blocked and overflowing: Stop using all water in the property immediately; do not flush any other toilet, run any tap, or use any appliance that drains water. Every litre of water entering the system adds pressure behind the blockage and increases the risk of overflow into the property. Call 020 7129 7418 immediately.
If the kitchen sink is blocked: Do not pour boiling water or chemical unblockers down the drain. Boiling water can soften the joints on lead waste pipes common in Chelsea period properties. Chemical unblockers damage cast iron drainage. Place a container under the trap before attempting to remove it. If the trap removal does not clear the blockage, stop and call us. From £150 + VAT. Call 020 7129 7418.
If the external drain is overflowing: Check the nearest manhole cover. If the manhole is full, the blockage is in the shared drain downstream. Do not attempt to clear a shared manhole without professional equipment. Call 020 7129 7418. From £220 + VAT. Same-day attendance.
If sewage is backing up into the property: This is a Category 1 emergency. Leave the affected area immediately. Do not use any water in the property. Call 020 7129 7418. We attend Category 1 drain emergencies within 45-60 minutes across Chelsea SW3, Knightsbridge SW1X, and Belgravia SW1. All prices exclude VAT.
CCTV drain surveys in Chelsea yes. From £280 + VAT for a standard residential drain survey. Written report with video footage, blockage location identified, repair options with fixed prices confirmed within 24 hours of the survey.
When a CCTV drain survey is needed: Recurring blockages a drain that blocks every three to six months are not a maintenance issue. It is a structural issue. The CCTV identifies whether the cause is root ingress, pipe collapse, or build-up in a corroded section.
Unexplained damp basement or ground floor damp in a Chelsea period property that cannot be explained by surface water ingress is sometimes caused by a cracked or leaking drain running beneath the floor. CCTV identifies this before invasive investigation.
Pre-purchase a CCTV drain survey as part of a pre-purchase survey on a Chelsea Victorian terrace identifies drainage condition before exchange of contracts. From £280 + VAT. Written report suitable for solicitors and insurance purposes.
Drain repairs confirmed from the survey: Drain relining no-dig solution, resin liner inserted and cured inside the existing pipe. From £480 + VAT per section. Avoids excavation in Chelsea conservation area rear gardens.
Drain excavation and replacement where relining is not possible. From £850 + VAT per section. Party wall agreement involving a shared drain.
All drain surveys and repairs are carried out by our Gas Safe-registered team. All prices exclude VAT. Fixed price before any work begins. Call 020 7129 7418.

“Exceptional Service While We Were Abroad”
“We own a Chelsea Harbour apartment but live in Dubai. Our property manager called at 3 am London time, reporting a major leak. Chelsea Property Renovation responded within 40 minutes, isolated the water, repaired the burst pipe, and documented everything with photographs and detailed invoices for our insurance claim. The entire situation was resolved before we even woke up in Dubai. Their international client experience showed comprehensive documentation, clear communication via WhatsApp, and they coordinated perfectly with our building management. The £380 emergency repair prevented what could have been £15,000+ in water damage. Professional, trustworthy, and exactly what international property owners need.”

Diagnosed faulty pump, had replacement in van, heating restored within 90 minutes of our call. Fixed price £380 all-in, very reasonable for an emergency call-out at 11 pm.
