About the company

Lanes Group began life in 1992 as Lanes for Drains, a Leeds-based drain cleaning and repair specialist employing just five people. Lanes Drainage Services UK has over 2000 staff across 20 operational depots. Lanes serves domestic, commercial and industrial clients. Lanes uses CCTV drainage cameras to find the source of blockages.

Lanes offers complete drain and sewer services, including repairing damage to pipes and drains as well as unblocking them. The Glasgow depot offers fully bespoke drainage, septic tank, and sewer services for domestic and commercial clients. The Glasgow depot also offers specialised dock and boatyard cleaning services.

What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Householders and insurance-backed projects in Glasgow recur throughout accounts of this drainage contractor, covering blocked drains, an ensuite toilet and household unblocking arranged through insurers. Praise centres on the engineers who attended: Sam and Alan are named more than once for being helpful, honest and tidy, Graham is singled out for his work, and Danielle in the office is credited with the administrative side. Speed comes up repeatedly, with customers describing work beginning without delay and crews going beyond what was expected to clear a blockage.

The conduct of the attending staff is the thread running through the feedback, described as pleasant and hard-working, and jobs tied to insurance claims were seen through when the insurer proved unresponsive. A recurring complaint, by contrast, concerns communication and reliability: problems not identified on a first visit, a second appointment that no one attended, and a booking that had not been recorded when a customer rang to confirm. Drivers leaving vehicles across the pavement also draws criticism. The pattern suggests capable engineers alongside office-side weaknesses in scheduling and contact.

Was put in touch with Lanes for Drains to deal with a blocked drain that was causing issues in the house. From start to finish they were very easy to deal with, the engineer arrived on the agreed day and was very professional, fixing the problem and explaining how the issue came about and how to prevent it in the future.

Would not recommend this company. I had reached out to them to arrange a survey for a septic tank for a property I was buying, spoke to John Paul and he was pleasant at first and talked me through what was involved, advised me over the call as to the cost involved. I had asked for the quote to be emailed to myself so I could read over the documentation and make payment. I never heard anything back. Our estate agent called them numerous times to arrange access to the property and could not speak to any one despite leaving messages. I called John Paul back to chase the quotation email and make payment and was told he would call me back. No courtesy given to even speak to me. This continued for 2 days where the operator Jamie kept advising me John Paul would call me back despite my chasing them to make the payment required. No other operator was competent enough to take payment over the phone either. I never received their email and John Paul never even bothered to call me back. By this point I was not impressed with this company and how they treat potential customers. When I called again I was told he has gone home for the day and to call back the following morning I had emailed them left my number and still no one bothered to come back to me . I called the following morning and was told the same thing he will call me back and he never did. Constantly tole he is in a meeting or on a job or dealing with a customer. I understand they can be busy but they can at least call back. Called them again and politely told them it should not be this difficult to make a payment and I will be taking my business elsewhere. Shocking how despite the current climate lanes for drains can show such callous customer service and waste my time. Very disappointing from what is supposedly a reputable firm.
