About the company

Better Drains serves Bournemouth and the surrounding areas across Dorset and the South West, providing drainage services for both residential and commercial properties. The company unblocks all types of drains, including toilets, sinks, showers, baths, and internal and external drains, using high-pressure jetting equipment to clear blockages caused by grease, debris, and tree roots.

It uses advanced CCTV technology to inspect drains and identify the source of problems. Better Drains specialises in the repair and re-rounding of pitch fibre drains and offers drain relining as a minimally invasive alternative to traditional excavation. It provides drain installation and excavation services and manages soakaways for surface water and flood prevention. The company addresses the entry of rats through cracks in drains and other entry points.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Better Drains, also known as Blocked Drains Bournemouth, has earned a strong local reputation for responsive and effective drainage work around Bournemouth and Poole. An aspect raised across a number of reviews is reliability, with engineers arriving when promised even for urgent call-outs, and blockages cleared swiftly, sometimes within a quarter of an hour. Several reviewers name Alex as knowledgeable, approachable and determined, particularly on awkward kitchen sinks and jobs that proved difficult; Danny, Ryan and Adam are likewise praised for their friendly and efficient manner, with Adam responding straight away to a later emergency.

The team deals with blocked toilets, gullies, kitchen sinks and larger commercial drainage problems, and one commercial customer mentions that a camera survey provided evidence the issue had been fully resolved. A number of reviews mention fair, competitive pricing without any attempt to upsell, clear explanations before and after the work, and helpful advice on avoiding future problems. Tidiness is noted too, with drains left spotless and free of waste, and one landlord has since entrusted the team with further properties. Card payment and emailed receipts are also mentioned.

Was a bank holiday and all toilets suddenly became blocked. I called Alex and his team and quite frankly I’m over the moon. They arrived on time and considering it was bank holiday they were very reasonably priced. One thing that surprised me was that they didn’t try to upsell which I’ve had from other companies. I will be keeping them on speed dial and being a landlord will be using them for my other properties from now on. Keep up the good work guys.

Excellent work from Alex on what turned into a difficult job. Alex worked so hard and successfully resolved the problem. I can't recommend him high enough. He is coming back in early summer to do another job. Alex's team has completed 2 more jobs: the second was urgent and Adam responded immediately. Information and explanations were clear. Both jobs were completed successfully and again i cant recommend Alex and his team highly enough.

I use better drains for a few jobs at McDonalds stores in Bournemouth and Poole. They went above and beyond to make sure there were no issues after all drains were blocked. Not only did they unblock the drains they made sure they were all clean and free from sewage. A camera was used to inspect showing evidence to the customer that the issue were gone. Alex is easy to talk to and we’ll solve mostly any drainage issues. What a fantastic company 10 out of 10 in my eyes will be using them for the future..
