Public evidence profile
51 out of 100, with a caution: only 3 reviews held yet. A small public record keeps the evidence thin, and the score reflects that.

How this score is made up
Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Within hours of reporting a blocked drain to a polite/understanding call handler, Alan from Bournemouth arrived at the promised time, checked the problem and gave detailed information of the clearance process, with prices. Alan is the helpful engineer anyone would hope to meet when in a stressed situation. Alan checked with the owner before commencing each stage of the clearance process and cleared the blockage. Having checked the complete system was flowing well, Alan cleared away and departed leaving no trace of his visit. A true professional whom I would not hesitate to call again.
We discovered the blockage less than 24 hours before AirBnB guests were due! I'm pretty handy but it was not possible to identify exactly where the issue was and rods would not fit in from the inspection hatches... Time to call for help. Alan was prepared to come out that evening, but we could wait till the morning so we were on a tight schedule! Alan came bang on time, quickly identified where the block was then with his equipment cleared it in no time. Then - going the extra mile - he opened a really heavy cover to the furthest point and flushed that through! All left clean & tidy! Ace
Alan Paul (DrainLocal) resolved our complicated residential drain issue swiftly and promptly (Christchurch - June 2024). A thorough investigation was required, and the work required patience to avoid damaging the drains. I was kept informed throughout the process, and the pricing structure was clearly explained at the start. I highly recommend Alan Paul from DrainLocal.
Across 19 drainage contractors in Bournemouth, the typical rating is 4.7 out of 5. We compare against the same businesses a homeowner would find searching for this trade locally.
