Highlights
"I rarely leave reviews as good service these days is the exception but Neil and his son deserve the positive feedback and recommendations. I wouldn't call anyone other than clearflow drains for a drainage issue. Professional throughout, from the quick response time to the helpful advice on what to do next, I cannot fault them."

"I had a blocked drain after being let down by a unprofessional drain engineer I called Clear Flow Drains, they came down as agreed and got to work, the issue was a neighbours manhole, they showed me exactly what the issue was and what they did to solve it. Clear Flow Drains gave me good advice on how to contact Seven Trent to get some compensation back as one of my neighbours was causing the issue. I would highly recommend Clear Flow Drains, very professional and plenty of years experience. I have uploaded some pictures of my neighbours drain it was one of worse they had seen."
