What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Fast response times and straightforward communication run through the feedback for this Sunderland drainage specialist. A number of customers describe ringing in the afternoon and having an engineer at the door within the hour, with the blockage cleared and the work wrapped up soon after. One thing mentioned again and again is how clearly the problem is explained once it is sorted, and drain surveys are singled out for being backed by same-day written reports, emailed findings, repair cost estimates and CCTV footage.

John is named repeatedly, with reviewers highlighting his expertise on stubborn drainage problems that had previously defeated others, his success in opening manhole covers no one else could access, and his readiness to contact Northumbrian Water about an issue beyond a property boundary. Repairs are described as quick and professional, which mattered during a house sale, while pricing comes across as fair. Tidiness afterwards and a friendly manner are noted alongside the technical work, whether the job was a domestic unblocking, a pre-purchase survey or a repair turned around within a tight timescale.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent service from APJ Drainage. They carried out a CCTV drain survey for me and provided the full report **on the same day**, which was incredibly helpful. The whole process was quick, professional and hassle-free. Communication was great, everything was clearly explained, and the report was thorough and easy to understand. Really impressed with the fast turnaround and quality of service. I’d definitely recommend APJ Drainage to anyone needing a CCTV drainage survey.

We are so grateful to John, he is a true drain expert and solved a problem with the drains we had been battling for nearly 2 years and nobody else seemed to come up with an answer. John came round the day after I had contacted him and opened a manhole cover that no other company had been able to access and from here was able to solve the issue and repair the drains, all work completed within 48hrs and the issue completely resolved at last! John is very knowledgeable, we would 100% recommend.

Really amazing experience with APJ drainage. Rang for a quote on Monday for a survey to be completed on a house we’re buying, the appointment was booked for 4pm next day. Drain survey completed, which was provided promptly via email, including a detailed report of findings as well as cost of how much repairs would be. Drain videos also supplied within the email. I’d really recommend if you’re looking for a quote. Thank you!

Excellent service from start to finish. John and his team carried out repairs quickly, which was greatly appreciated as I was in the middle of a house sale. He even got in touch with Northumbrian Water for me to advise them of an issue outside of my property boundry. Very professional and reliable and I would highly recommend.
