What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Emergency call-outs and planned drainage repairs form the backdrop to most accounts of Excel Drainage, whose customers in the Manchester area frequently describe being helped out of difficult situations at short notice. Gary is the name that recurs most often, handling initial inspections himself and then bringing in additional workers for larger excavations. Reviewers repeatedly highlight the thoroughness of the finished result, whether the task was clearing a blocked bathroom drain, removing standing water that had caused a washing machine to smell, or tracing a broken underground pipe by camera.

Several describe a foul odour beneath a floor being investigated quickly, with a clear quote provided before any work began. The scope covered in feedback includes jetting obstructions, repairing a leaking gutter, digging up a driveway, swapping a damaged internal soil stack for an external one, reconnecting sanitary fittings and relaying concrete flags. Punctuality and straightforward pricing are mentioned as reasons customers return, and the tidiness of the team after completing a job is another point that comes up often. Gary is characterised as polite, courteous and honest, with communication maintained from the first enquiry through to the follow-up once the pipework had been connected to the sewer.

A foul smell in my sub floor turned into a big job. Gary investigated and found the problem very quickly and gave me a price and returned the day after with 2 workmen. They dug up my drive, jetting out a blockage, removing the internal soil stack which was broken, installing an external one and connecting up the loo, sink and shower. Connecting new pipe to the sewer pipe and relaying concrete flags. They did a brilliant job to get this all done in 2 days. I escaped to my daughters and left Gary the key, otherwise I would have had a meltdown! Communication has been great and the invoice included a very detailed report for my insurance company. I felt the price was very reasonable for the amount of work undertaken by 3 men over 2 days. I have found that some trades can be dodgy when dealing with an older female customers. However, I can recommend Excel Drainage without hesitation.

Panic-stricken with an overflowing drain, I called Excel drainage and they were at my house within a couple of hours. Gary quickly located the issue and had it cleared without any fuss. Gary was polite and courteous, and the price was very reasonable. Cannot recommend them highly enough for emergency, prompt, and honest service. Will definitely pass contact details over to friends and family. Thanks again :)
