What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Daniel James Drainage Services is repeatedly associated with drain unblocking, pipe lining, gully clearance and survey work, and the outcomes customers describe are thorough and lasting. Reviewers frequently highlight how quickly problems are tackled, with blocked gullies, broken cast iron covers and stubborn leaks diagnosed and resolved within a short time of arrival, often when earlier attempts by other firms had failed.

Praise for clear quotes and sensible prices recurs, particularly where customers had received higher figures elsewhere, and the explanations offered both before and after jobs are described as knowledgeable and straightforward. Named engineers, among them Dennis, Paul, Scott, Kyle and Jack, receive consistent thanks for their friendliness, professionalism and the care taken to leave properties clean.

The advice given about preventing future trouble, whether through lining a pipe, installing a new access point or clearing a kitchen gully, is a point that comes up often, as is the willingness to explain both the immediate issue and any recommended follow-up work. Progress updates during larger jobs and the handling of second-opinion surveys, where findings were set out concisely, are also noted. Confidence in the team comes through in the accounts of customers who turned to the firm after unsatisfactory experiences with other drainage companies, and in the speed with which emergencies were attended.

We had a plumbing emergency in the morning and began calling around. The big companies quoted us over 30% higher and could only come out the next day. Daniel James were out within the hour and had everything fixed, leaving us as if nothing happened. Fast, Honest and Reasonably priced

Excellent service and did the job two (?!) other local drainage companies couldn’t do (clear a blocked kitchen gulley). Paul and Jack were outstanding, talked me through the issue and resolution. They also gave me some advice on future works that could be done to stop the issue happening again. They were prompt with their work and respectful of my property the whole time they were here. Can’t recommend enough. Cheers!

Highly recommended. Amazing company, very professional friendly and came out the same day. We had a cctv drainage carried out and report Paul from the company was very friendly, highly efficient and found the problem straight away. We’ll book them in to carry out the works.
