Posted 1 week ago
John and Cameron can the same day, they were polite, knowledgeable about the problem and solution and did the work quickly and effectively. Would use again.Verified reviewerJob location: SP610 Friendly professional service for a blocked drain.

Rang in the morning regarding a non-emergency blocked drain. Was quoted an hourly rate and told that someone could be there sometime after 3 in the afternoon. John arrived around 3:20 and had the drain flowing again within 5-10 mins. He then spent a good while checking the layout of the system and state of the pipework. He even found a manhole that I didn't know I had as it was buried under grass. All the while he was very happily explaining what he was doing and why. The bill came the next day and I was very pleased to see that it had stayed within one hour. Very good experience throughout.Verified reviewerJob location: SP610 Very good experience with The Drain Experts

Job location: SP5John and Alfie were terrific, Dan in the office was also very efficient and responsive. I would phone them straight away if I had another drainage issue of any kind at my work premises or home. Thank you guys and my apologies it has taken me so long to write this review, which I promised to do, so better late than never as the saying goes! Zoe10 Exceptional service

1st class company, sent an technician out within 2 hours., on a Sunday afternoon. Matt was a very kind & considerate guy & worked diligently to clear the drainage system & to find the cause of the problem. He was very helpful explaining that l was actually on a joint drainage system with my neighbour. He contacted Wessex Water before he left explaining about the damage to the sewer pipe, in the road, by another contractor. I have since had 2 separate people come to check out the problem. Exceptional service, which l am very grateful for, thank you very much Matt.Verified reviewerJob location: BH2410 Drain survey with a view to installing new drain
