Official checkOn the public register
Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 24 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Detailed reviews
These are the individual reviews we hold for Inspect a Drain Ltd, including the highlights above. The 297 headline total is the review volume reported across public review sources.
Roger arrived at the arranged time and carried out a very thorough drain CCTV survey, which I was able to watch as he did it, as well as having the footage sent to me via email afterwards. He was able to fully map my system, and a shared section under my neighbours drive, and gave me a full breakdown of what work was required. A great guy to deal with, I'd fully recommend him.
A thorough inspection of drains by Roger and his company. With a detailed written report and footage as evidence. With a quick, reasonably priced service!
A huge thank you to Roger for rescuing us! We’d tried everything and he came out really quickly and spent hours trying to sort the issue - which was resolved. Lovely to deal with, super clear about what each part of the process might cost and gave us choices. Feel so relieved we didn’t need to go through insurance and would recommend to anyone. Invoice as expected and itemised clearly. Thank you 🙏
