What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

A rapid, friendly response to drainage problems is the theme running through accounts of this Swindon company. A number of customers describe James arriving promptly after short-notice calls and keeping them informed when he was delayed, with one blocked drain beneath a house sorted within an hour of the call. More than one review highlights that overflowing, foul-smelling pipework and buried manholes were cleared or located quickly, and praise for expertise comes up often: one customer describes the know-how shown in tracing the true position of a manhole without unnecessary excavation, avoiding work another firm had proposed.

Fair, market-rate charges are noted, together with a readiness to explain the job plainly rather than hide behind jargon. Tidiness also features, with pipework left clean and the property treated with respect, including a gate closed on leaving. Communication before and after the work is mentioned alongside the politeness and cheerfulness of the team. The outcome described is a problem resolved efficiently and without fuss, leaving customers reassured and ready to call on the same drainage specialist again.

Had the lovely James on site at parkview Bristol clearing out a 3m deep manhole, between him and myself managed to clear out believable things. Top bloke, top workmanship, top company 👏

I called James on Saturday, and he promptly booked us in for Monday morning. They arrived as scheduled and quickly located the actual position of the buried manhole. This was a huge relief, as another company, Alpha Rod, had previously advised that it was under the kitchen units, requiring unnecessary removal before excavation and cost a futune to do that. James turned out to be the right person for the job—his expertise and efficiency were outstanding. He and his team managed to clear the blockage in just three hours, saving us from additional hassle and costs. Much appreciated and highly recommended, especially if you're dealing with a buried manhole issue. A true professional! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

We had a problem which we hoped would be pretty straightforward. In reality it was more serious than we thought! James from Dalrod was an absolute hero. Also felt that the charges were fair, and in line with the market. If you have a problem we would have no hesitation in recommending them.

Exceptional service! I highly recommend this company. James was the most professional and friendly person and it was a privilege to watch an expert do his job so well. He cleared my overflowing foul- smelling drains and kept me informed throughout. Other companies charge you simply for being there and try to bamboozle you with jargon, but not this one. He left everything clean afterwards and even ensured my gate was shut. An absolute gem! Highly recommend.

Called James yesterday 29/12/2021 we had a blocked sewer and within one hour and a half Ben arrived to try and solve the problem and quickly realised that the problem was the main sewers at fault.

Excellent, prompt and efficient service. James was polite and friendly. We had a blocked drain under the house yesterday evening (26/11/21) and all sorted within an hour. Price was fair and reasonable. We would have no hesitation in recommending Dalrod and calling James again if needed. Thank you James for coming out so promptly.
