About Drain Catt (Homecare Drain Services) BBC Featured Business

I am the owner and operator, Ken Cattanach, and have an honours degree in engineering and worked as a Plant and Building Services engineer on piped services, drain and sewer associated works with London Transport for many years. My associate and cousin is Dean (a human mole) who has been installing and repairing drains, cesspit, sewer pump installations for over 20 years. We act as a team but keep our businesses as sole traders separate, this keeps down our overheads and allows us NOT to charge Vat a great saving to our domestic clients. Visit www.DrainCatt.com

Really pleased that he came out on Saturday morning at a moment's notice to see to our blocked drains. Highly recommend him - nothing to much trouble.

Blocked drains - used based on previous reviews. Arrived when promised, jetted, plunged and cleared blocks, completed in about an hour. Price charged was price quoted. Would be happy to use again.

On the basis of the good comments, called Mr Cattanach on Bank Holiday Monday. Immediately told me of £20 extra charge - very reasonable - for call out that day. Arrived within an hour. Prompt, professional, thorough, efficient, courteous and reasonably priced. Said he'd price match anyone cheaper. No hesitation in recommending him.

We had a blockage between the bathroom drain and the sewer. It was some time before we noticed it, and the blocked water, combined with the rain, produced filthy standing water in the outside passage. We called Drain Catt on New Year's eve; he came in the late afternoon; and working in the dark, the filthy water and the rain, he had the blockage dispersed and the passage free of water in half an hour - and for a very reasonable price. we would certainly call him again.

I had multiple concerns with drains and infestations of black fly. Mr Cattanach visited promptly, made careful observations and identified a series of interlocking faults. It is reassuring to have a real expert take a problem in hand.

Called Drain Catt Homecare Drains in the morning. They arrived around lunchtime. The work was super efficient and at a reasonable cost compared to other quotes I had received.

I used Drain Catt last Sunday afternoon to clear a blocked outside drain. He came out within in about 45 minutes of being called and checked the external drains, which he advised were clear and in good order, as well as clearing the blocked one which had lots of gunky stuff in it. So far, no further problems, and I was very grateful to get someone out so quickly on a rainy Sunday. The call out charge for Sunday was £100. I would recommend Drain Catt.

I called at 11.00 in the morning due to a blocked sewer that was causing a back up and a grim looking, very full inspection chamber. He was with my by mid afternoon and sorted out the blockage very quickly.

Called on a Saturday afternoon and was with us within 2 hours. Needed an upstairs loo unblocking. He quote depending on the amount of work involved. Turned out to be a tricky job which wasn't easy to resolve. He did resolve it. Wore over shoes covers to protect carpets etc. Would be happy to recommend and use again. Also does pest work.

Ken was just what we needed for our drain problem. Came on the same day, jetted blocked surface water gully (scale issue), gave advice for future. Very easy to communicate with and a sound operator. First in line if we need drains dealt with in future.

Ken was friendly, quick and reliable when unblocking my gutter drain which was clogged up with mud and debris. Happy with the work and came over the same day I had called.

Sent a text this morning, they replied within one hour and came out as promised between 14:00 and 15:00 today. Blocked waste pipe was quickly cleared and the cost (for C London on a Saturday and no advance notice) was reasonable and within their estimate.
