Drain ownership in Forest Gate
Drain Ownership & Responsibility
Your private drain
The drain from your property to the boundary is your responsibility. Blockages caused by misuse (fat, wipes, debris) are the occupier's responsibility under Section 11 of the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985.
Shared sewers
Since 2011, shared sewers serving more than one property are Thames Water's responsibility. We can help identify whether a blockage is in your private drain or the public sewer.
Landlord obligations
Landlords must keep drains in working order. Persistent blockages in common areas of HMOs or apartment blocks are the landlord's responsibility — recurring issues should be investigated with CCTV.
London drain issues: Victorian combined sewers, clay soil movement, and dense urban tree roots make London drains particularly prone to root intrusion and structural defects. CCTV surveys are recommended for any recurring blockage.
