‘Sewage in our house has ruined our lives’

A retired headteacher has said sewage flooding the ground floor of his house has “completely destroyed” his life.

Buster Price, 70, who lives with his wife in Chislehurst in south-east London, said more than £100,000 worth of damage was caused after waste emerged from his toilet last Wednesday.

He said: “We’re under huge stress which is completely unnecessary and it’s entirely down to Thames Water and their attitude to their customers.”

Thames Water said it was “very sorry”.

The cause of the flooding has not been found by the water company.

Mr Price said his and Patricia’s home was no longer habitable after the ground floor toilet backed up leaving up to 3in (7cm) of raw sewage in some rooms.

The former Dartford Grammar School and St Dunstan’s College in Catford teacher said the water company was “verging on the criminal with their irresponsibility”.
