Heroes!
Replaced water/waste pipe under our house after our kitchen flooded. Works meant exposing and replacing a 5m section of pipe by digging through concrete floor across our entire living room. My wife and I, and importantly 17yr old cat, weren't able to move out while the work was completed, but Ian (owner) said they'd work around us and do all they could to minimise disruption. We felt overwhelmed before the work started but we needn't have worried. Work was carried out by Ronny who was fantastic throughout. Estimated schedule was 5dys, was completed in 4.5. Premier was the only company that offered a fixed price for the job where others would only quote a daily rate and wouldn't commit to a schedule. Ian was also happy to liaise with a local flooring company who were installing new floor after Premier had completed their work. Great work, great people, cannot thank Ian and Ronny enough, would highly recommend. Thank you again guys!!

Excellent and Friendly Service
Tom and Joe worked on our house drainage problem and were thorough, professional and friendly. They patiently investigated the issue we experienced and suggested different solutions. The work was conducted in the timeframe I expected and the fee was as agreed. I thoroughly recommend them and would not hesitate to call them back again to sort out any other issue - although I hope I will not need to, of course.

Professional, diligent and efficient
Very satisfied with the service and the work undertaken. I contacted Premier Drainage, prompted by other positive reviews below, to inspect and deal with any blockages in a driveway drain and some downpipe drains. The process from initial contact with the office, to discuss the issue and make the booking, through to the work itself was professional, efficient, and courteous. The engineer (Gary) arrived promptly as scheduled, with helpful prior notification by text of his arrival time. The diagnosis and work was undertaken diligently, swiftly, and explained clearly, along with potential further remedial action over the longer term. The service was fairly priced. I would have no hesitation using Premier Drainage’s services again.

Professional, reliable and trustworthy.
When I called for a quotation for a survey on the badly fitted drain that had been fitted on my drive by another company who had just resurfaced my drive, he arrived within 40 mins, and confirmed what I thought. He explained what needed to be done, and I received his quotation quickly which I was most happy with. Once the materials needed were obtained by him, he arranged for his colleague to carry out the work, who did so efficiently and professionally, and with a pleasing personality. I do not hesitate to add my recommendation, in all aspects of the work carried out.

True professionals
Premier were instructed by our buyer to carry out a CCTV drain survey at a house we were selling. The survey identified some issues that needed fixing prior to exchange. We then instructed them to carry out the repairs, which needed completing urgently prior to exchange. The guys who carried out the repair were obviously experts in what they do. The repairs were completed on time and with care and attention to detail. These guys are true professionals and I cannot recommend them enough.

I called Premier Drainage in the morning and even though they were some distance away they came in the afternoon. The operative explained the problem, showed me the photos and cleared the blockage within an hour. Efficient, trust-worthy and reasonably priced. I would highly recommend them.

Blocked kitchen drain
I contacted Premier Drainage to clear my very slow flowing kitchen drain after the two engineers from a company I had used on a previous occasion could not manage to do so. A Premier Drainage engineer arrived a couple of hours later and within an hour had completely unblocked the drain and showed me on CCTV that it was now clear and flowing through freely. (CCTV showed tree roots entering where pipe sections join and liner recommended but absolutely no pressure to have this work done.) The blockage was sorted swiftly, cleanly and professionally. A job well done.

Help with saturated soakaway's & more!
Due to a nightmare old saturated/end of life soakaway problem we needed the services of a drainage company and picked Premier Drainage (from Which? reviews). I can say without hesitation that these guys are very knowledgeable, friendly to deal with, and fairly priced. One couldn't ask for more! We have also used Premier Drainage to vacuum out our main roof gutters, which on the back of our house can't be reached with ladders due to a large conservatory. No drainage/gutter problems are clearly preferable but if you should get one these are the guys to call! ;-) PS - I don't give away compliments lightly, believe me.

Works to expose the main drain in our cellar, locate the leaks, fix the leaks and then line the whole main drain out to street.
We have had a leak in our cellar for over 6 months, had 3 other companies out to try to find and fix the problem, with no luck. We were put in touch with Premier Drainage Company by our insurance company - from the start we felt we were in very capable hands. They did a camera survey, then told us they would have to expose our main drain below the kitchen in the cellar, fix the leaks and put in a liner. This was done over 2 days. They were tidy, punctual, knowledgeable and went the extra mile to sort all the problems. I cannot recommend them more highly and wish we had found them sooner!

Iain responded promptly to my initial enquiry and was very helpful on the phone. Aaron was the engineer on site and he was very professional. He located two broken drainage pipes and showed me video footage of the pipework underground. He cleared one blockage and provided helpful advice on the pipework. The CCTV images were very clear and he also produced a neat site plan for me which is very clear. I was very pleased with the service and the price was competitive.

I’ve used this company twice in 3 years now for clearing blocked soakaways. The latest was in the middle of the pandemic and I was impressed once again by Aaron who diagnosed, cleared blockage and have ongoing advice, at the same time as being friendly courteous, and getting the job done within the hour so keeping costs down. Handled a tricky situation between two neighbours with drain going into neighbouring property, highly professionally which was most reassuring. Maintained distance and hands free payment. My neighbour was also impressed. Would definitely recommend and use again.

Swift response and personal service
I phoned them first thing in the morning regarding a blocked manhole. After a discussion regarding the problem with further information to help us in the future they promised to come out by about lunchtime. At 12.30 the specialist arrived and set to work and within a short period of time the blockage was cleared. Everything was washed down and disinfected and tested and working well. The young man couldn't have been more helpful. We heartily and unreservedly recommend this company for its exceptional service and will be using it again soon to have a new manhole lid installed as a replacement.

Courteous, clean and efficient.
I have used Premier Drainage Company twice now to clear blocked drains on my property. On both occasions, they have been able to attend very promptly (on the same day today). Aaron was extremely polite, efficient and sorted the problem out with a minimum of fuss and disturbance. Today, he explained what had caused the particular problem, and we will be able to ensure it isn't repeated. He kindly liaised with my neighbours, whose property he also had to access. All in all, he made a nasty problem a simple one, and I felt their clearly explained charging system was very reasonable and good value for money. An unhesitating recommendation from me!

Blocked drains.
Chose this company from their reviews on Google, said they would be straight over after they had completed their current job, also explained their minimum charge which seemed reasonable. Attended as promised and drains cleared very quickly followed by a cctv survey where the problem was identified as roots growing into the drain. Options were discussed with a recommendation of inserting a liner into the drain, a rough quote on how much this would cost seemed reasonable but Iain from Premier Drainage said there was no rush and to check out prices online, no hard sell. Cost of the initial call out was the minimum charge and having checked online the subsequent work is competitively priced. Overall a professional company who I would thoroughly recommend.

Fast response
Premier Drainage were on site within 1 hour of placing a call following effluent escaping from our shared drain at the rear of our property. Ronny got straight to work and investigated the source of the escape using a camera and dye tracing. He also visited our neighbour to confirm his findings that the issue was outside our boundary caused by a surface water drain blockage downstream. Ronny took steps to clean up the escape, used disinfectant to treat the spillage and provided us with a report of his findings. This enabled us to approach our water provider highlighting the issue was outside our property and further downstream. Premier Drainage were open and transparent about their billing and explained what they would do up front. The level of professionalism displayed and response was first class. Shortly after Ronny left I called the Director of the company to pass on our appreciation and high level of service we received. I would not hesitate in recommending Premier Drainage for anyone that needs a professional and rapid response with a reasonable and fair price.

5* service
Our emergency drainage insurance sent plumbers who told us it would cost more than £1500 to fix our blocked pipe. The insurance then said we weren’t covered at all! I used the Which? trusted trader website to find Premier drainage. They came the next day and fixed the problem, within an hour and for under £100. They were efficient, professional and got the job done. I was very happy with their honest service and would definitely use them again.

Saved me £1000's
We originally asked for an estimate for a new soakaway having been told by other drainage "specialists" that our existing one was blocked and exhausted. Premier Drainage (Aaron) recommended an attempt to clear the blockage before embarking upon the costly new soak away. After a couple of hours they were able to clear the blockage and made the rainwater soakaway serviceable once more. I have no doubt that other companies would have just installed a new soakaway costing between £5000 -£10000. Excellent work, timely, tidy and courteous - Thank you

Effective and courteous professional drain service
Called Premier Drainage Company early morning to help out with a blocked external kitchen drain. I received a prompt reply clarifying when I could expect the engineer, what would be the charge (hourly rate without call charge) and how long it was likely to take. The engineer came on time and sorted out the problem within the time frame I had been given. He was careful in the way he proceeded, answering my questions, giving advice to prevent further blockages, and cleaned up nicely before departing. The charge matched the quote, which appeared very reasonable. Quotes were also given for two old manhole covers that need replacing. I would certainly call them again.

Faultless professionals, wish we'd called them first!
Having spent a lot of time and money trying to fix a blocked kitchen sink ourselves, and with no luck in removing the blockage we called Premier Drainage Company having seen their reviews here. Absolutely could not have asked for better service throughout. Within 2 hours of calling, Aaron turned up and he efficiently dealt with the blockage. All mess was cleared up and price was as quoted over the phone, which was reasonable and in line with other companies usual quotes. I would not hesitate to recommend this company and would absolutely use them again in future if I have a similar problem. Thanks for offering such a great service throughout.

Fantastic. Turned up when requested, only charged for the time worked despite waiting 30 mins for me to arrive from work. Found 1st fault within minutes, 2nd fault found within 30 minutes, most of this time was spent trying to raise manhole cover. Aaron was very friendly & really knew his stuff. Price was reasonable & they came quite a distance for a small job.

I think these guys were without doubt the best tradesmen to ever set foot in my house, an 11 out of 10! So helpful, courteous, diligent and timely. The job was daunting, potentially intrusive and disruptive and I expected the worst, yet nothing could have been further from the truth.

Ian and Aaron were both helpful with the problem of a blocked toilet, which previous drains person had not succeeded in resolving . Aaron inspected and took the time to give sound advice without any charge and without any assumption that he would get any work from it. He made clear their charges. In the event we did get him to do the job, which he did well and well within his estimate. I recommend them highly and would not hesitate to use them again if the need arose.

Had a problem with garage flooding during heavy rainfall. Other companies recommended more extensive work which would have cost a lot more money and in hindsight would not have necessarily solved the problem. Ian and Aaron put a lot of thought into finding the best solution and in turn saved us from unnecessary expense. I cannot praise them highly enough. They are extremely knowledgeable, reliable and kept me informed at all stages of the job. They left everything clean and tidy upon completion.
