What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

In Timperley and the surrounding Altrincham area, DHC Utilities has built a strong reputation for drainage repairs and pipework, with customers repeatedly highlighting the professionalism of Ray and his team. Several reviewers describe Ray as knowledgeable and direct, giving honest assessments at the initial visit and explaining each stage of the work before it began.

Recurring jobs include excavation and rerouting of a Victorian drainage system, replacement of lead pipework, lining of waste pipes and installation of gulley drains, with one householder mentioning a concrete drive that had to be cut and carefully restored. Punctuality is a point that comes up often, with teams arriving promptly at agreed times, sometimes at short notice or over a bank holiday, and working steadily even in rain. Tidiness recurs too: everything was returned to how it had been, Niall took care to keep the finished appearance in keeping, and homes were left clean.

Communication before and after the work is praised, including guidance on dealing with United Utilities, while the cost is described as fair and the job completed within budget. Ray, Dan, Niall and Donnie are named for their courteous, organised approach, and one reviewer notes how well a neighbour's noise issue was handled. Work is described as thorough and neatly finished, whether unblocking a drain or renewing a whole system.

Ray and his Engineers have done superb job replacing a gully at my Mother in laws house. We live along way away and dealing with issues is often complex. Ray was great at communicating and just sorting the issue for us. Many thanks we would definitely recommend.

Really appreciated the work, cleanliness and approach by Niall and Ray. They replaced our internal drains. Today, we had a problem and Ray came over within the hour. Turned out to be United Utilities problem, and he helped to work out what their problem was. Thanks DHC!

Used them for a lead replacement pipe at my home. Ray and the team were awesome! Really knew what they were doing, talked me though the entire process and gave some great advice. They were really clean and left the house in great condition. Would highly recommend to anyone!

Replaced gully drains x 2 and new pipes to man hold and unblocked some drains and finally repaired a cracked underground pipe by lining - very professional individuals. Ray took his time to explain the work needed and provided the possible solutions. He took his time to ensure that I understood and the work was done on the days as stated. I would definitely recommend this company. The underground lining work is specialist and the team took the time to ensure this was done properly and showed me the before and after pictures with the underground drain cameras. The ground was dug up but replaced to exactly how it was before ! Niall is very pleasant and hard working - a credit to the company !

We had four gulley drains installed and a pipe lined. Ray and Niall were great with communication. The job was done as planned, on budget which was a good price, and in a tidy manner. We had to have a concrete drive cut up a bit to install and access pipes. Niall went above and beyond to make sure that the final look was as close to the original and in keeping. Will definitely recommend DHC and use them again.

Used DHC to fix a rest bend on my property causing other issues. From start to finish Ray has been in contact and has been fantastic helping me get to the bottom of this issue and get things fixed within a week of making contact. Niall and Liam came out and have done a fantastic job fixing the drains for me and they've left the place looking even better than when they started. Really nice, friendly group of lads and have done a fantastic job for a great price. Couldn't recommend them highly enough!

Great price, excellent service. Ray was really quick to come round to carry out a survey, within a week from my enquiry my works had been done. He talked me through the whole process and gave me guidance on communicating with United Utilities. The process was initially quite daunting for me prior to speaking to Ray, but he took all the stress away. Couldn’t be happier, thank you!
