I had an issue relating to a blocked underground pipe which was swiftly fixed by Sydney and his colleague both from Aspect. They were extremely professional, polite and provided me with valuable information regarding my drainage system. I highly recommend their services.

Came late at night, worked hard to deal with pipe blockage (and flood) in the flat but main blockage was further down i.e. responsibility of building manager - told us exactly what to say to the manager to get it sorted! Many thanks.

The drainage engineer had a horrible job to do, which he did diligently and efficiently with good humour. He was helpful and thorough, mopping the floor and even washing down the garden to ensure he didn't leave any mess. He is a very good advert for the company.

Our drainage contractors are well-equipped to carry out a comprehensive range of services in London and the Home Counties. These include:
We have a large team of drainage engineers, which allows us to schedule any type of work quickly. We can help customers no matter how difficult their problem is, and it’s all overseen by drainage managers with years of experience.
Our drainage engineers are also skilled at resolving drain issues underground and sewage leaks. They can check the pipe with a camera to look for obvious holes, and employ other methods for hidden leaks. Pressure testing involves bunging a section of pipe; if there’s a drop in pressure, you know there’s an issue. There’s also smoke testing, which reveals the location of minor cracks as the smoke escapes the system.
Every emergency call-out is different. Our drainage engineers adapt quickly in any situation to prevent further damage and resolve the problem.
Some of the common emergencies we help with include:
If there’s flooding, we can provide a full flood remediation service as part of an insurance claim. We provide damage reports, moisture surveys, sanitisation, structural drying, strip-outs and full reinstatement work.

We’re fully trade accredited to provide the drainage services you need. Aspect is registered with the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC), so when you book a drainage specialist with us, you can count on getting the professional expertise you’re looking for. As a result, our drainage engineers come highly recommended for quality workmanship and customer satisfaction.
Our drainage engineers (sometimes known as drainage contractors) and plumbers tend to handle different tasks. Our plumbers fix issues relating to the cold water supply and circulation within a property. Our drainage engineers mainly deal with issues where water is flowing out of a property.
When it comes to soil and wastewater problems, our specialist drainage engineers are equipped to fully investigate and carry out the appropriate work. They use water jetting equipment, drain cleaning machines, commercial grade chemical treatments, and have access to a suction tanker that removes wastewater in flood situations. CCTV cameras allow them to locate faults in underground pipes that a plumber won’t be able to find.
Our drainage engineers start out by gaining their plumbing qualifications and gain several years of experience before specialising in drainage. This means they’re well qualified to carry out plumbing work too.
Based on the information you provide, we’ll send the best tradesperson for the job – be it a drainage specialist to deal with a blockage or an emergency plumber to work on a cold-water supply issue.
