Dial a Rod Engineering Services Ltd

Dial A Rod Engineering Services Ltd trades as DARES. The company started as a small, family-run business over 30 years ago in Newport, Isle of Wight. It operates throughout the Isle of Wight. DARES fully guarantees all work. Its main services include drain unblocking, CCTV surveys, tank installation and servicing, groundwork, water mains repair, and emergency callouts.

Work on septic tanks, drainage fields and sewer surveys forms the core of what customers describe, and several accounts highlight how quickly a call is answered and a team dispatched. A domestic tank replacement, an annual Mantair service and a new-build pressure test all appear, alongside blocked drains cleared inside half an hour and a tank emptied with the correct vehicle sent out.

More than one review highlights punctuality: engineers arrive when promised, explain the planned work before starting and carry it through professionally. Paul is named for the clarity he brought to the survey and quotation stage, and Richard for the courtesy and efficiency of his visits, with communication before and after the job described as a strength. Tidiness comes up often, one household noting that exploratory digging over a lawn during a very wet week left the garden barely disturbed despite a digger being used.

The friendliness of those answering the phone and of the crews on site is another common theme, with teams described as cheerful, polite and helpful. For commercial waste systems, the same dependability is reported, with prompt scheduling at a convenient time and confidence that the equipment continues to work as it should. Drainage and sewage work, from emergency call-outs to planned servicing, is what customers keep returning to.
