Moved into a property and after a couple weeks of heavy rain noticed one of my drains was fully blocked and with mud. Contact the team and Quality Drainage and their service was friendly, efficient from first call to completing the job. On the day, the team called ahead with their updated eta. Once onsite they explained what they needed to do and got on with the task. I would have no hesitation in recommending Quality Drainage After moving into our new home, I discovered that one of the drains was completely blocked with mud after a few weeks of heavy rain. Not exactly the kind of surprise you want! I reached out to Quality Drainage, and their service was friendly, efficient from first call to completing the job. The team was not only professional but genuinely friendly, which made the whole process a lot less stressful. On the day of the appointment, they called ahead with an updated ETA, which I really appreciated. When they arrived, they took the time to explain exactly what needed to be done and got to work quickly. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Quality Drainage to anyone—excellent service from start to finish!

Woke up to our main drain being blocked and overflowing onto our patio. Called Quality Drainage and there was no engineers available but Ben rang around and arranged for Ollie and his partner to come at short notice. They cleared the blockage and cleaned up the patio in no time at all and the cost was as quoted. Both men were friendly, helpful and polite. So glad that I called Quality Drainage Company.

A professional service from beginning to end. A cancellation meant they could come on the same day. The blocked drain was cleared at the back of my property and the drain flushed through from the front as well to effectively clear the drainpipe along it's full length under the building. A very professional and polite crew who cleaned up after themselves too. I would not hesitate to use them again.

Ollie and his assistant were efficient and thorough. They took great care to lift up the existing gully and patio stones, they made sure there was a good fitting to the pipe before cementing the area back and doing a very clean tidy up. They were also keen to ensure we were happy with everything before we left. Have asked them to quote for fitting a new soil pipe for a downstairs loo.

We experienced problems with our drains in May and October which were initially resolved by a plumber. On the second occasion, the plumber suggested that I contact a drainage company if the problem occurred again as there could be something more serious that might need investigating. In less than two weeks it happened again - as before, the first ‘symptom’ was water bubbling in the toilet when water was being emptied out from the bath. Things got gradually worse. I checked out Which Trusted Traders and gave Quality Drainage a call. They came later that day and did a thorough job clearing the drains. As the drains were shared with neighbours they advised me that Thames Water might be responsible for the drains. I had assumed that it was our responsibility! I was keen, however, to find out what was causing the problem. At my request, they did a CCTV survey and the cause of the problem was identified. They provided a quote to do the work should we need to use them to resolve the problem. However it looks like we might not need to do so having contacted Thames Water.

We have been very impressed by the service and quality of work provided by Ben and his team (engineers and office staff). Having previously engaged them to ensure our soak away's and drains were working properly, we got them back to replace an old rusting downpipe and to mend a section of soak away pipework (in danger of becoming compromised). The later job coming with a five year guarantee on workmanship. We were happy with the service and would happily use them again.

Disinterested and a waste of time and money

First of all they arrived two hours later than booked. They did let me know but our job was clearly the last job of the day and they couldn't get away fast enough. However, they were polite etc. Rather than genuinely try to diagnose and fix the problem, they try to clear a pipe and then said I would need to get a quote and book another appointment for any further work. The fact that we didn't have a manhole to check seemed to make any further work impossible. Basically I paid £120 plus VAT for 40 minutes work and the problem wasn't fixed. I would expect a company on your list to be experts who would find a solution, not just to do something quick to justify a high call out fee and then leave without any resolution. The communication from the office was poor, I think they should have asked more questions, such as whether we have a manhole, so this was known prior to the visit and the appropriate amount of time could be allocated. I don't think this company should be on your trusted traders list.

I was able to get an appointment to clear our block and occasionally smelly drain very quickly and the young man, Ollie, who did the work was cheerful, polite and efficient. He checked the five manholes and his only mistake was not to replace the cover of one of them before he left, which we only discovered later as it was in a side passage we don't often use.

Sewage almost flooded the manhole in my garden. I explained to them that I was shielding, had a severely reduced immune system and would need strict distancing, including communicating only from a distance. Obviously this problem was not the best in my situation. They were completely understanding and reassured me that they would use PPE and stay away from me. A few hours later my drain was unblocked and clean. Both office staff and engineer were very helpful and friendly, and the work was done well.

I've already reviewed a QDC CCTV survey. Next, the same engineers carried out a Sonde sonar survey to check measurements for hole in our drain. Sensibly, QDC then programmed in taking up a cemented-in access point to gain as much information as possible before excavation. We looked at videos and detailed reports with great interest! Our confidence in QDC grew. Works required were quite extensive and in a very restricted, difficult area. The team worked professionally and carefully, and then quickly at the critical time when the drain was open. Danny, born to dig, worked so hard. They cleaned up beyond the area affected. Luke, always our team leader, is excellent at communication, both in person and by phone. A pleasure to deal with QDC's efficient admin staff. We are very pleased.

Had a tricky problem in our 50s terraced townhouse with a blocked downpipe leading to an internal drain which required the drain to be cleared and flushed and the old cast iron downpipe replaced. The three guys who completed the work were professional, polite, clear in explaining what they were doing and they left the site spotlessly clean and tidy after completion. What has been a quite stressful situation with the drain and old pipe was resolved in a calm, skilled and professional manner by QDC. Highly recommend them.

I needed a camera survey quickly before proceeding with other work. Contacted QDC on a Sunday, survey fixed for Monday.

I asked further questions by email. Luke phoned me back promptly with helpful answers. This family business has good experience. I have now received DVD of survey as well as link to online version. Probably bit more more expensive than other companies, but well worth it in my opinion.

We contacted Quality Drainage (QD) to unblock a drain on March 11. The two workmen appeared to have successfully cleared the blockage so we paid for the work undertaken. However, 10 days later a surveyor arrived (we are in the process of selling our house) and he declared that the drain was again blocked. We contacted QD and advised them of the situation. A short while later the same two workmen arrived and confirmed that the drain was, indeed, blocked. It was alleged that the blockage was caused by wipes and therefore a second charge would have to be made. I strongly deny that any wipes have been thrown down our toilets and can only assume that the first visit by QD did not thoroughly clear the blockage and we have been charged twice for the service.

I am sorry you feel this way but on looking into this further, on the first visit we also carried out a CCTV survey and if it was indeed still blocked we would not have been able to do this. We did give recommendations we felt were appropriate to stop any future problems. Should you wish to have a free site visit with our Director so he can go through this with you in more detail this can be arranged.

Prompt response to call out, quick and efficient immediate response. Cause of problem identified and returned for a thorough investigation of drainage sites. Concluding report detailed and costs clearly itemised for remedial treatment - understanding of the fact that customer's insurance company may take over at that point for repairs.

Called Ben who arranged for the lovely Dean and Darryl to attend which they did within the hour. They got down to work straight away, fully explaining the problem and resolving it with only two cups of tea between them (and no biscuits - terrible oversight on our part). Work was completed within the hour and charged as notified so at least there were no nasty surprises there. It really doesn't get much better than that. I shall recommend Quality Drainage to anyone who asks - you'd be surprised how often that happens! They'll definitely be the first people I think of next time anyone flushes something inadvisable/inappropriate down the toilet.

I had to call in someone quickly to deal with a blocked and overflowing sewer pipe late Saturday afternoon. Ben Lawrence, Director of the company answered my telephone call and and quoted prices for weekday and weekend. My need was urgent and he promised to have someone on site within 2 to 3 hours. Andrew arrived on time and made an immediate start but was thwarted by an extremely heavy manhole cover and had to call for assistance. Ben came out and between them they managed to raise two roadway standard covers and clear the blockage and dispose of all accumulated waste. The weather was bitterly cold and the work was completed soon after 9pm. The charge was as stated despite the weather and the unsavoury nature of the work. It was suggested that I had a survey carried out using CCTV and as a result of receiving a very professional report with DVD footage I elected to have the work carried out as suggested. My house was built in 1930 and with two replacement drives built over the drains I was not surprised that some subsidence and cracking of the pipes had occurred. The work involved cleaning, descaling the pipes and inserting liners; making good all brickwork, rendering and relaying paving slabs. All work was carried out methodcally, thoroughly and to a very professional standard. I agree with all the comments made in the previous reviews. The costs were reasonable and the estimates were not exceeded.

Speedy and Efficient - couldn't be more pleased. Having picked them from Which? Local I called Quality Drainage to clear a blocked kitchen drain. Sam arrived exactly on time, with Dean (his No. 2). As I saw for myself the job necessitated rodding/power-washing 3 inspection chambers as well as the pipes, to remove a large ball of roots and build up of grease which had accumulated over many years. The work was done efficiently at a brisk but unhurried pace and took 1 hour. Cost, exactly per estimate, £88,00 plus VAT. Very Happy with the service. Many thanks.

Prompt, helpful and professional service from Sam and colleague. Sam successfully removed obstinately stuck cast iron drain grid and cleared debris and tested. Charge was as prior quote. Then noticed that our rainwater filter gully needed clearing and did this for us without further charge. He also explained how to keep it functioning, useful information which we appreciated. All left clean and tidy. Would thoroughly recommend.

Did not solve our drain smell problem but turned up on time, gave a honest appraisal and did not charge. Came and inspected our drain set up in connection with a long-standing problem of a sewer type smell from one of the outside drains (when water flows into it from the upstairs bath or basin having not been used for a while)). Were honest that there were several possible reasons, one of the most likely requiring Thames Water (the drains go deep under a patio). Gave advice and suggested some things they could do like change pipes from bathroom but there was no pressure.

They did an excellent job and left my drains in pristine condition! They quoted £88 + VAT on the phone and that is what I paid. I cannot speak highly enough of the service they provided. The job was booked with Ben who was great to deal with and was carried out by his brother Sam and a young man called Marcus. They had travelled 20 miles to my house. First Class! Very professional.

We have a macerator toilet system which originally developed complex problems with the pipework two years ago. Ben solved the problems and made several visits to the house, including weekends to ensure all was well at no extra charge. He made a return visit this year at no charge when the pipe became frozen. A rare example of a professional who takes pride in his work and is not out to rip the consumer off.
