Excellent service no hidden costs, arrived within an hour of calling and promptly unblocked my drain using a power hose.
Scott came out at short notice to sort a drainage issue. He was knowledgeable and worked quickly to clear the issue which another firm had been unable to resolve previously. Strongly recommend - excellent service!
My outside manhole was full of water, there was a blockage between the 2 outside manholes (about 10 feet apart). Phoned them about 4:30pm, and they were very polite on the phone. They turned up as promised the next morning. There were two of them and one guy was being trained. After being shown how the equipment works (about 20 minutes), they lifted the manhole cover, shoved a pipe up towards the other manhole and after about 3 minutes a lump of fat came down followed by the rest of the manhole contents. Blockage sorted. The actual time spent working was 13 minutes in total from manhole cover off to manhole cover back on. I was charged a couple of quid short of £300!..... If you devide the amount I was charged by the time spent, it works out at £1,329 an hour. I was quoted £180 by DynoRod, but went with these guys because they were local. Big mistake. I have just bought a set of drain rods and a pair of manhole cover keys from Amazon and got change out of £20. I will sort any future blockage myself.
Very quick response. Guy arrived on time, assessed the issue quickly and cleared the blockage. Really great, friendly and competent service.
Would highly recommend Drain Doctor who arrived within two hours of contacting them and did an absolutely brilliant job at identifying the root cause of our drain issue and articulated what needed to happen next in order to resolve the issue. Absolutely brilliant service. Thank you so much.
Absolutely amazing - came out fast and helped us with our blockage. We had to have the carpet taken up in our rental property and the team worked with us and the estate agents to ensure it happened quickly. The work itself was so fast and afterwards you would not have known the floor had been taken up! 10/10 thank you!
Keiran and Ian were professional, polite and patient, happily talking through their work, and with good humour. No hesitation in recommending them and their work. Top marks.
