Used Watermains & Drains UK LTD to replace my lead pipe. Fantastic service from start to finish. Contacted them on email and got a reply withing 24 hours, shared some pictures and an explanation of the job on whatsapp and was emailed a quote within a few hours. Once the job was booked in the workmen arrived on time. I found them to be very professional, polite and tidy when working and they made sure everything was put back and made right where it needed to be, great attention to detail and quality in their work. I would highly recommend them.
It's quite stressful finding out that your main water supply is leaking and it's a lead pipe that now needs replacing. Our experience from start to finish with Waternains and Drains has been nothing short of exemplary. Working out the best route for the new pipe and a competitive quote. Their understanding when we had a bereavement and had to delay the work. They turned up on time, introduced themselves and worked tirelessly all day. They even cleaned up like it was their home. Outstanding company and employees, we wouldn't hesitate to recommend them.
Hi I have just had to have a leak repaired on my driveway due to a massive spike in Water Pressure I contacted Watermains and Drains and they have fixed it This was not a straightforward leak in as much as I had a resin driveway installed on an existing concrete one so finding it was going to be hard but they eventually found it it using a tracer and moled a new pipe in The lads that did it were patient and professional so I would highly recommend them to fix any issues you have with mains and drains 5 stars
We recently had our pipe laying work completed and were very pleased with the service. The team was quick, efficient, and got the job done without any hassle. They left the area clean and tidy afterwards, which we really appreciated. Overall, a very positive experience and we would happily recommend them.
Professional as ever, on time, no mess and all work carried out within half day replacing the lead mains pipe on our property. Also moved the mains stop tap into the garage and capped old stop tap. Martin and Jamie were a credit to the company I will be using in the near future and I have already recommended their company with family and friends.
I had a fantastic experience with Jamie from Watermains & Drains UK Ltd during my lead pipe replacement. He was punctual, knowledgeable, and took the time to explain every step of the process clearly. The work was completed efficiently and to a very high standard. Excellent service from start to finish—highly recommended!
I had two properties lead piping replacing. Overall the experience with WMD isn't all that great. They were responsive in getting the initial work done, completed within a few weeks and this initial work was done well. However after the work had been carried out, it was nothing but delayed email responses (if we got them) and not so great workmanship. Internal pipework wasn't completed to a good standard, more so to a 'it works' standard rather than, this is going to be seen we should make it tidy. Aim to get a plumber in after the fact to tidy up pipework and make it somewhat presentable if it can be seen in the property.
