Leon the engineer phoned to say he was on his way and soon set to work diagnosing the issue. He was friendly, efficient and got on with the job. After resolving the problem he showed me on the camera what the issue was, and gave some advice re monitoring. I emailed the office at 9.25 and by 10.45 Leon was here sorting the problem out. At a time of stress getting this issue sorted so quickly has given me peace of mind. Great service and highly recommended.

We booked a call out at 5 pm and the very next day the problem was seen to and fixed. Such a professional and reliable company. Special thanks to Leon and Paul who went above and beyond to help. We had a blocked drain due to tree roots which not only did Leon and Paul clear, they also used the camera to check if there were any other issues that may cause further problems. Fortunately there wasn’t. They were so thorough and proactive. We will 100% be recommending them to family and friends. Very reasonable price too. Thank so much Pipescan!

Pipescan replaced our septic tank with a treatment tank with extensive piping to the watercourse. It was a huge job, with the most involved parts of the project undertaken in heavy rain. The whole team, led by Mike's expertise, were excellent throughout taking great care to keep the site safe for my young children, keeping us informed of developments, asking ahead of any decisions, and understanding our needs and that of our neighbours. Long story short, we couldn't have asked for more. Thoroughly recommended.

Top rate service. Tree roots in the main drain. Clear camera view of the problem. Your engineer Chris removed the offending roots in a very professional way. It was a pleasure to meet a chap who clearly knew his stuff. Would not hesitate to recommend this company.

I contacted Pipescan after the company was recommended to me by a work colleague. We had a blockage in the underground waste pipe and the developing smell was not very pleasant. Chris arrived on time and quickly identified the problem and got to work. The blockage was identified and removed. Chris was very professional, knowledgeable and efficient at his work as well as being extremely friendly and chatty as he explained what the issue had been and showed me the problem and results on the CCTV equipment. Chris must be a real asset to the company. Thank you.

Called due to an overflowing inspection chamber, and despite leaving a message saying it wasn't an emergency situation, received a call back within 10 minutes offering a visit later the same evening. Was called by Chris from his van 5 mins before arrival, and he cleared the blockage quickly. Then went the extra mile by carrying out a CCTV inspection at no extra charge, which identified a potential root cause (no pun intended). Rather than touting for additional business, he explained the rules on ownership of drains which meant that I should be able to get the offending root ingress fixed FOC by the water authority. Good friendly service without any sales pressure. Thanks Chris!

Septic tank replacement

Pipescan replaced my old septic tank with a water treatment plant. The work was completed well before the allotted time and within budget. The team did an excellent job and left the site very neat and tidy. They were good at communicating with me in the lead up to the work being carried out and they dealt with all the local authority building regs issues. I was left with the strong impression that this is a firm that prides itself in doing a good job and they arrived on site with a well-prepared plan of action. I have already recommended Pipescan to my neighbour, who also needs to replace a septic tank. Readers should note that I live about 100 miles away from the firm and have no connection with them.

I am extremely pleased with the way Pipescan employees completed the initial assessment and repairs, leaving the area as neat and tidy as possible. They were polite and courteous - truly appreciated in an age where simple, cost-free courtesy is so often not offered. Essential repairs have been completed to my total satisfaction - thank you.

Pipescan came to me after Homeserve made a right mess of trying to unblock a drain. The Pipescan rep did the job in 30 mins and showed me the view of the drain to show it was clear.

I notified Pipescan of our problem (block drain) mid to late afternoon. I was advised that they would endeavor to attend at 5.30 but would confirm an hour before. They arrived on time and identified the problem which was rectified quickly and clearly and advised to call the utility company in the event of a recurrence (shared drain). The member of staff was polite and explained a potential cause.

Don’t usual leave reviews but had to say something. What a Great company to deal with, from initial telephone call to fixing the blocked drain took just over a couple of hours. Everything was explained when we rang from job price with no hidden extras to estimated time which they fulfilled. The staff member was very friendly, professional and cleaned everything. So pleased to have found such excellent company. No hesitation to recommend them.

Even though the job involved some unforeseeable extra work, Pipescan only charged a very modest increase in price. The access conditions were difficult, but the site was left tidy after the new sewage treatment plant was installed and they kept us well informed of what they proposed to do. Very enthusiastic, knowledgeable, competent, professional and friendly.
