Trustworthy, honest & professional. Came on time. Did a great job. Cleaned up. Good price. A very pleasant and skilled man. This is all you need from a trader. Dean was very good at understanding what needed to be done and reassured me along the way. It was a very complex system but Dean worked with me to find out the correct sewage system for me. He also met with the company sales person to ensure that he knew the product and its requirements during installation. I was extremely pleased with the work of FIRSTBASE Drainage Services. Thanks Dean!!

Dean and his team were extremely helpful in diverting our external drainage. Dean was very prompt in organising an initial visit, providing a quote, and carrying out the job. During the initial visit he explained exactly what was required and answered all of my questions. I felt the price was very fair for the amount of work involved. The work was carried out to a high standard, and Dean also kindly offered to unblock an external drain at no additional cost. I would definitely recommend him and would employ him again. Thanks Dean!

Dean and his team are very professional. They managed to sort out, what we were previously told by another company, was an unsolvable problem. The soil pipe was full of concrete from the building work we had had done so the toilet was not flushing properly. Dean was able to diagnose the problem straightaway using his camera and then went the extra mile to sort it out for us. He and his team are very polite, organized and knowledgeable, came when they said they would come and explained what the problem was. The pipe is now free from concrete and the toilet flushes perfectly. I would highly recommend Dean and his company FIRSTBASE DRAINAGE SERVICES. Thank you so much for sorting out the problem.

I live in Mill Hill, North London and was impressed with the reviews on Which but wondered if he would service my area. I called Dean and he was here within a few hours even though my drain problem was not acute, I had a concern with rats tunnelling through into my garden and blocking up the drain with soil. He has a team of 3 all of whom were excellent, he has the latest equipment, cameras and sorted out the problem with no fuss or bother at a reasonable cost. He also reviewed another area which could be a future problem and returned to fix that as well. An excellent man with a huge knowledge of drainage, a real professional, I would recommend him without question

Contacted Dean by phone with a drainage problem, his customer service and knowledge was excellent reassuring me that he could diagnose and resolve the problem without fuss. I was kept informed by phone and text until the guys arrived onsite. Once onsite the guys were friendly, polite and explained what work they were going to carry out and they just got on with the job. It was obvious they all took great pride in their work, I could not fault the quality and the timely manner in which the job was completed. One very happy customer and would call these guys again.

I had contacted my local plumber about an intermittent sewage smell in my house. They came an inspected and could not find anything obviously wrong. They quickly acknowledged that a dedicated drain expert was required and they put me in touch with Firstbase Drainage Services (Dean Richardson). Dean arrived promptly and within a matter of minutes, he had diagnosed many problems with my main sewer, all of which could have contributed to the intermittent sewage smell in my house. Dean took the time to explain exactly what the issues were and I felt confident that Dean knew what he was talking about and his explanations made perfect sense. Dean provided a very competitive quote to resolve all the issues. We agreed a date / time for the work to be undertaken. Dean and his assistant arrived on time and completed all the work to my satisfaction. The intermittent sewage smell has now gone. I highly recommend Firstbase Drainage Services. They are honest, trustworthy and excellent.

Dean installed a new residential septic tank and pump at our home. The work was carried out professionally and efficiently. The workers were polite and pleasant and the work was carried out to a very high standard. Since then Dean has been on hand to help with any questions regarding the equipment and how it continues to work. Thank you Dean. Marie.

I found First Base Drainage Service (Dean Richardson) through your Trusted Traders Booklet. He came when he said he would. He was cheaper than anyone else who I contacted, did a great job without any fuss and kept to his estimate. No hesitation in recommending him to anyone.
