Blocked drains in Ashford: Homeowners vs renters

Who’s responsible for sorting a blocked drain? It depends on where you live and what’s causing the problem.

For homeowners

• If the blockage is within your property boundary, it’s usually your responsibility.
• If it’s in the public sewer beyond your boundary, it’s down to your local water company.
• No special paperwork is usually needed, unless you're digging or altering shared pipes.

For renters

• If you rent, contact your landlord or letting agent first.
• They’ll usually arrange the repair, especially if it’s an external or structural issue.
• If the blockage was caused by misuse (e.g. flushing wipes), you might be charged.
