About us
Drainage specialists, not generalists
Founded in 2019 and based in Ilford, Rapid Drainage Services works on drainage and nothing else, which is exactly why we get it right first time.
Our story
Built on call-outs nobody else would take
We started out taking the late-night jobs other firms turned down. That reputation for actually turning up is still the heart of the business: a small, directly employed team, properly equipped vans, and a phone line answered by someone who can dispatch an engineer immediately.
Today we handle everything from a blocked kitchen waste in a Redbridge flat to scheduled tanker work for commercial sites across Essex. Every engineer carries jetting, rodding and camera equipment, so most problems are diagnosed and fixed on the first visit.
We are SafeContractor approved and CHAS accredited, fully insured, and we document what we do: CCTV footage for surveys, waste transfer notes for tanker work, and a clear written price before anyone starts.
Company number 11961043. Registered at 760 Eastern Avenue, Newbury Park, Ilford, Greater London, IG2 7HU.
Why customers stay with us
No call centres. No vague invoices.
We built Rapid Drainage around the things people complain about most when they hire a drainage firm.
Answered in person, 24/7
Every call goes to someone who can actually dispatch an engineer, day or night.
Priced before we start
You agree the cost up front. No hourly creep, no surprises on the invoice.
Cause found, not guessed
Camera-led diagnosis so you are paying to fix the problem, not to repeat the visit.
Local engineers, local knowledge
We know the drainage stock across east London and Essex because we work on it daily.
