Highlights

“We are very grateful to Roberts Drainage who recently repaired a drain within our garden.

The company provided a professional service and worked hard to complete the repair. I would have no hesitation in recommending James Roberts for future work.”
Detailed reviews
Diagnosed the problem, made it clear that works were optional, went ahead with Roberts Drainage Ltd anyhow and very happy with the result. Will use again - if needed of course!
James came out on an emergency call. I was on holiday and my tenant reported a blocked drain. James came out as quickly as he could and cleared the blockage. James explained the problem cleary and I asked him for a quote as more work needs to be done to repair the drain. I would definitely recommend him

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
