Got in touch with Ian about a blocked drain, he gave me a very competitive quote and advised he could attend my property within 3 hours. Ian arrived on time and cleared the drain quickly and tidied up afterwards - highly recommendedVerified reviewerJob location: TS2610 Drain / Sewer Clearance

Outside drain blocked
Very pleasant guy. Did job without any fuss and cleared the blockage, which was years of debris from the roof and gutters. A job well done.Verified reviewerJob location: TS4RRuth G10 Blocked Drains

Efficient and helpful
Ian came when his equipment had thawed out. He got rid of some blockage at the bottom of our drive. He found wet wipes, which we do not use in our house. He advised that they will have come from the main drain which will have been backed up and then flowed over to our drain. He advised me to ring the council, which I am going to do.Verified reviewerJob location: TS59.33 CCTV Surveys for Drains

Great service work and price
Called Thornton Drainage Services to investigate a blocked water waste drain in my back garden. A Mr Sullivan arrived within the hour. Very friendly attitude. Using rods and drainage cameras he was able to locate, identify and remove blockage. Extremely happy with the results and price. I would definitely recommend this company’s services and if I need to I would use in the future.Verified reviewerJob location: TS8
