    Bathroom & Kitchen Plumbing

    Posted 2 days ago

    Fitting of bathroom and separate WC

    There was good communication during the planning and design of the work. The work itself was undertaken to an excellent standard and I am very happy with the final result. The work was carried out efficiently and schedule, and the working area was left clean and tidy at the end of every day. I don’t have any hesitation in recommending this firm.

    Water Leak Detection

    Posted 2 days ago

    ‘Difficult to identify’ leak investigation including CCTV to drains.

    After a very disappointing experience with another company, a customer recommended DCL and I’m so pleased they did. Ian was professional, methodical and thorough. He completed a CCTV survey, found the leak, repaired it there and then, and explained everything clearly throughout the investigation. The transparent hourly charging also gave me confidence that I was paying for the work actually carried out. The detailed report and photographs were invaluable and gave me complete confidence in the investigation from start to finish. I wouldn’t hesitate to use DCL again. Highly recommended.

    Drain Relining

    Posted 11 July

    Excellent repair of fractured drain pipe under kitchen floor

    DCL Drains Ltd were excellent from start to finish. They diagnosed a fractured clay drainage pipe under our kitchen floor with a thorough camera inspection, which was invaluable for our insurance claim. The repair itself was completed to a very high standard, professional, tidy, and done right first time. Highly recommend.

Thank you for looking at our Checkatrade page!


We are a small team of drainage and plumbing experts, bringing you over 20 years of experience in the industry.


We use top quality, leading drainage clearance equipment which is designed to have the job completed efficiently the first time.


We cover all aspects of drainage and plumbing; from drain camera rat investigations, to unblocking sinks and fixing taps.


We have enough experience to diagnose the problem over the phone, and therefore have fixed prices that remain the same.


We also have some new, improved gutter cleaning equipment that allows us to show you camera footage of the blockage, both before and after the clean. This gives you peace of mind that the cleaning has been carried out effectively.


We carry out an enhanced “soak-away treatment process” that aims to keep your soak-aways clean and maintained: this is far cheaper than a full replacement which can run into thousands of pounds!


We feel that we are big enough to cope but small enough to care. It may sound strange, but we enjoy our job! It can be a household task that many homeowners will not wish to tackle, so let us do the dirty work for you.
