Why FS Group
Blocked drains in Islington usually start with sharing. Many Georgian and Victorian terraces around Barnsbury and Canonbury are now split into flats, all on one drain. Flats over the shops on Upper Street and Holloway Road feed a soil stack into a busy commercial drain. Clerkenwell adds converted warehouses and offices. So our drainage services start by asking who else uses your pipe.
Weekdays from 8am to 6pm, a standard unblock is charged per half hour. Ring first and you learn the rate before an engineer leaves.
See all our ratesJordan was courteous and professional. He explained what he was doing and why. He recommended a check by a builder as the drain was not sound.
Had a booking issue initially, but when called in the morning, engineer promptly came, and sorted the issue (blocked drain) very efficiently and thoroughly. He also walked us through the issue and pricing and made sure we understood the choices before proceeding. Would not hesitate to use again. 5*
Great service. Robert was very professional and did an excellent job on our blocked drains. I would highly recommend.
Your technician was excellent - friendly, efficient, on time. He identified the problem and cleaned the drain thoroughly. A good job.

What we see most
One flat's wipes can stop the drain for the whole house. They catch at a bend and paper builds up behind.
Clay pipes run under the small rear yards behind many terraces. Where a tree grows close, fine roots find the joints.
Basement areas sit below street level, so rain relies on one small gully. If it clogs, water soon reaches the door.
Takeaways and cafes under flats on Holloway Road send fat down the drain. It hardens and slowly closes the pipe.
Leaves and litter around Highbury and Finsbury Park fill yard gullies in autumn. Rain then stands in the yard.
Converted houses in Tufnell Park and Archway often share one soil stack. A blockage on an upper floor can reach the flats below.
Phone whenever the drain backs up, and we send the nearest free engineer.
