Absolutely fantastic service. The engineer arrived on time, inspected the drain and an additional blocked pipe, explained clearly what the problems were, and then carried out the work to an excellent standard. I highly recommend Maintain Drains.

Response evidence
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.

How quickly they respond
What their website advertises:
- 24/7
- "Whatever your drainage emergency, we’re on call 24/7 across Dorset."
Use this as a reason to call them first, not a guarantee they can attend now. Confirm availability, timing, and call-out terms directly before you rely on it.

Quick reply and friendly service. Arrived on time. Discussed options. Cleared out roots. Tidy job.
Last week, my kitchen sink was backed up with water. I called a contractor who came the same day. Unfortunately, his work was sloppy and incomplete and a week later I have the same problem . To avoid paying him another £120 which he would have charged for his unfinished job, I contacted Maintain Drains. Barry and Harry arrived promptly, thoroughly cleaned the drains from end to end using a variety of equipment, and tested everything meticulously. At £95, it was money well spent. I won't be using anyone else in future.

Worth checking yourself
Their public evidence comes from a single source. Look them up on another site before deciding.
No credentials are shown here and the business has not claimed this profile. Ask to see certificates and insurance directly.
Confirm they cover your area and can actually come out in your timeframe before anything else.
Read recent reviews for reliability and turning up on time, not only the quality of the work.
Agree the call-out fee up front, and be wary of large upfront deposits for an emergency job.
