We suspected that our drains were not flowing as freely as they should and my husband called Draincall at 10.50 a.m. and they arrived in less than half an hour! We were very impressed as this was not an emergency. They checked the drains with a camera, established that there was a blockage, which they removed, checked the system and flushed it through to ensure all was in order, which it was. We were very impressed with the helpful, knowledgeable service received and would not hesitate to recommend them. We felt the charge was money well spent.

Draincall’s first job was to clear out our complete drainage system caused by a backed-up septic tank following the winter flood. This was done very thoroughly and required their flexibility so I could coordinate with septic tank emptiers. We also got Draincall to pressure clean our patio because we were pleased with their drain work. This took 2-3 hours instead of the many days it takes us, with a better result. All our work was done by Dean who was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic within his work. All three of our visits were arranged to our convenience and attended on time. I didn’t price test the work but thought the price was reasonable and I was most interested in getting the job done well and promptly rather than cheaply. We will use them next time.

Blocked drain - issue resolved very quickly by David from Draincall

I was experiencing issues when flushing a toilet in my house and a general bad smell when letting out baths and taking showers. I called Draincall and spoke to David on Friday evening about 17:00 and he came to my property at 09:00 on Saturday morning. Within 2 minutes of arriving and lifting the main man hole cover at the end of my driveway David said we had a blockage and he would be able to get this sorted for me. Less than 5 minutes later after jetting the drain the blockage was cleared and David then spent time to clean the main drainage pipe leading back to my house properly for about another 20 minutes. Once the cleaning was done David wanted me to be 100% happy that all blockages in my whole system had been cleared so he waited while I ran every tap and bath individually in the house so I could see a clear flow of water from the house through the main drain and out into the main sewer in the street. The service provided was spot on, David also took the time to explain the flow of my drainage system to me and genuinely cared that I was comfortable the issue had been fully resolved before he left my property. David is definitely not the sort of person who turns up and wants to get away as quickly as possible, it is clear that a customer having peace of mind and understanding is important to him which is a nice trait to see. Thank you David, I highly recommend you. The service you provide is definitely good value for money.

I have a drainpipe that does (or did not) not cope with heavy rain. Draincall came promptly, gave a quote for making an attempt to clear the blockage without having cut into the drainpipe or to dig up the gulley, and made clear that the attempt might or might not make much difference. I accepted the quote and Draincall did the work straight away. The work took about an hour and Draincall acknowledged that they had been able to make only a partial improvement. They offered two solutions on re-arranging the drainage if the drainpipe did not work properly in heavy rain. They set out the work done and the further options clearly on their invoice. I will only know when we have some really heavy rain whether the work had made much difference, but I am pleased with the attempt that Draincall have done, their honesty on its effectiveness. Before Draincall came, I had been in touch with two other firms. One said that they would need to cut the drainpipe near the ground and were very expensive. The other said that they would need to dig up the gully. This firm offered to send a quote, but kept losing my details and have not sent their quote.

Dean arrived within 30 minutes of my call, completed the work quickly and very efficiently. Site was very messy due to overflowing fat from kitchen, he left it spotless. I felt the cost was very reasonable as was the quote to carry out a full repair post covid.

I had a problem with a gutter down-pipe that was not draining. Danny arrived within half an hour of my initial phone call and suggested a fix that might or might not work. Explained the costs involved in all options and allowed me to make an informed decision. I made my choice and the gutter is fixed. Friendly, professional and knowledgeable. Thoroughly recommend.

Within an hour of calling the company Dean arrived at our home to inspect and advise on our blocked surface water soak-away. He gave us his honest, professional opinion and explained our options. He was able to solve the immediate problem of standing water on the garage roof while we consider a permanent solution and also advised us regarding a problem with an overflowing gutter. We were really impressed with the company and would definitely use them again.

Called Saturday evening with a blocked kitchen drain, phone answered straight away. Came round first thing Sunday morning. Took the time to understand this long running problem that had only partially been solved by larger national drain companies. Unblocked the drain properly for the first time in many years. Very friendly, super professional, highly efficient and good value. Highly recommended!
