Replaced the kitchen gullies of a 1960s North London 3 story purpose built block.

The guys did an excellent job replacing the front 2 drain gullies of a 1960s North London 3 story purpose built block which had cracked and shifted. Firstly they did an excellent job in identifying the problem and then quickly carried out the complex job of replacing the gullies and restoring the paving. They have a wealth of experience and provide clear explanations of problems and solutions. They were helpful and considerate to residents when on site. They delivered to their quote with only tiny changes to the materials cost. Our residents association fully recommend them and will use them again to help manage our aging apartment block.

Came on time, at short notice, to deal with a major blockage within our 150mm interceptor trap, which was creating flowback of sewage into our ground-floor shower. They sorted the blockage completely within 30 minutes using specialist equipment. They communicated well throughout the process and took time to explain the complex infrastructure of our street’s drainage system, as well as giving advice on what symptoms to be alert for in future. Hugely impressive and they charged a very reasonable price. Can’t recommend highly enough.

I had a problem outside with the drain serving the kitchen sink, with the drain becoming blocked and surrounding ground showing signs of collapse. Peter agreed to come and take a look in a couple of days. After uncovering an adjacent manhole, he was able to feed his camera up the pipe and identify that a replacement pipe would be needed. Peter provided a quote and the work was done a week or so later. The price seemed very reasonable for the work involved. Peter and Craig were very helpful and friendly throughout the process, installed the new pipe and then made good to the block paving that had been displaced by the leak. I've no hesitation in recommending these guys for any drainage issues.

I had Peter and his son Craig install a drainage sump and pump in the basement porch for a garden client of mine many moons ago. They did a great job way back then - professional, to agreed budget, completed within time frame. I therefore had no hesitation contacting Peter again five years hence to diagnose and fix a blocked interceptor for me outside my own basement flat. Peter was efficient with communication and diagnosis beforehand. He explained the issue I was facing and what would be needed to fix it, plus cost. A date was agreed without fuss and Peter and Craig arrived a touch earlier than planned which was convenient! The job was done very efficiently and professionally. Very amiable fellas - offering advice on how to avoid the issue arising again in a hurry. Invoice raised on site - all very seamless and efficient. I thoroughly recommend this company and wouldn't hesitate using again (we may need to!)

I rarely leave reviews because it is so unusual to find good old fashioned service and professionalism but Fullbore meet the criteria. Contacted the company on Thursday afternoon regarding a blocked external drain. Confirmed they could attend Monday morning. Craig and Peter arrived on time as promised, fully equipped. Straight onto the job which they resolved, tidied up and at the agreed cost. Discussion afterwards about the problem - they clearly know their business. No fuss, no drama just excellent service and at a reasonable price. And they are personable guys too. What more could you want? Fully recommended.

Peter and Craig checked, also using cameras, the waste pipe system linked to two manholes in the garden. As agreed, they redirected one pipe so that one manhole could be closed off permanently. They also installed a new sink waste pipe and directed it to the same manhole. They were prompt, professional, and friendly, carrying out the work on the selected day according to what was budgeted for. They were also flexible, agreeing to make adjustments to one pipe after the initial work was completed. Highly recommended.

I have cracks in my downstairs toilet wall. I was advised to have CCTV examination of the drains immediately below toilet by a structural engineer. Peter and Craig came did CCTV and sent a report to me. Several problems found. We arranged a date a few weeks after Initial visit for repair work. Both Peter and Craig worked really hard to rectify the problems, replacing drain parts. They said it would take two days but because they had a problem sourcing a part the work took three days. However it was finished and all problems rectified. I have no hesitation in recommending Peter and Craig.

Drain on my side return was blocked and overflowing today. I got on phone, and luckily spoke to Peter, ( Father and son business), I sent photo of issue, and they said they could come same day as happened to be quite local. They came within hour. They cleared my drain (fat) , gave me advice for keeping clear. They were absolutely lovely, and charged me exactly as quoted, which was cheaper than previous quote ( not a which Trader!). I highly recommended as honest and straightforward. Will use again if I ever need in future.

Craig and Peter have a huge wealth of knowledge and expertise about drains and drainage. They used CCTV to identify the problem at my property and explained the issues clearly so that I felt I was being given an honest diagnosis and fair price (others are pricier). When it came to doing the work, they were punctual and polite, and it was completed promptly. Crucially, it appears to be rectifying the longstanding problem that we were having. My property even looks better with the new drainpipe and drain. I think it is easy to feel out of your depth with something like poor drainage and you would be in safe hands with this father and son team.

Peter & Craig came highly recommended with an ‘if they can’t fix it, nobody can!’ testimony and they didn’t disappoint! What initially looked like an external blocked drain to us, turned out to be a bigger issue which involved them ruling out what it wasn’t, identifying what it was (blocked waste pipe underground), locating a manhole we didn’t even know existed hidden under concrete paving slabs and sorting it. No short cuts - just an incredible depth of knowledge and expertise, along with a determination to get the job done right first time and fantastic communication skills. Not only a great father and son team who are clearly passionate about what they do, but genuinely lovely and down to earth people who will be our ‘go to’ in the future. I’ve already shared their number with neighbours, because we all need experts like them who you can trust to get the job done correctly, for a fair price and without that feeling that you’re being ripped off. Thank you both for everything!

Fullbore (Peter & Craig) first worked at our home some 10 years ago. Since then after significant work on the house, they have visited to flush the drains to ensure these keep running freely. Their knowledge, diagnostics and explanations are excellent. The importance of having home drains in very good working order is increasing due climate change bringing increased rainfall. I have no reservations in recommending Fullbore

They did a cctv to find the issue, fixed our broken drain pipe, installed a manhole cover and cemented our basement floor. I would 100% recommend them.

Due to problems locally, a nationwide company had quoted a large amount of money to make our drains rat proof. However, we contacted Fullbore Drainage Services for a second opinion. Peter Stacey was sufficiently professional to spend time on the phone, on a Sunday, to explain all the issues. It turns out that he is President of the National Association of Drainage Contractors. Peter and Craig, a father and son team, have detailed knowledge of how Victorian drainage systems work. They did not recommend removing the interceptor and installing a "Rat Blocker" which requires regular maintenance ever after. They returned the drains to their original working order by high pressure cleaning and installation of one patch liner. They also removed and rebuilt defective brickwork around the man hole cover. Peter and Craig are a pleasure to work with. Their work is professional and excellent value and we felt that we had received the best advice available.
