Highlights

"After two useless drain people we engaged DRAIN MAN.who were first rate. They had the right equipment and persevered with a stubborn blockage until a successful flow was achieved. They were pleasant to deal with and took time to test and retest until they succeeded. David Naylor"

"First class job (this was far from an easy drain clearance) and rapid response time, highly recommend their services. We had standing water nearly at the top of one internal inspection chamber (within the footprint of the house). Over 1.5 wheelbarrow of loose stones/builders material was extracted from drains! THey took the time to check other areas were ok and make sure the drain was in good order to work without further issue - big thanks Drain Man."

In February 2024 this company Inspected/cleared a drain previously clear of problems for at least 30yrs. I was advised stones needed clearing - done within call-out charge (£140) and a section of pipe required re-lining (£600). This was done and a review left. The drainage system now has the same symptoms as before (bubbling wash-basins when the shower is used WC that doesn’t drain). The water level has reached half-way up to the drain cover. The phone/voice messages/email is not being answered and I am desperate because nobody is getting back to me and we can’t use the WC
