From booking to execution I couldn’t fault the process. I run a holiday let business so needed quick and efficient action which is what was provided. Tom even turned up well before the allotted time!

Friendly and knowledgeable staff, able to resolve the problem quickly and gave good advice around how to prevent further blockages

They had to come back twice but now the vent pipe is properly and securely installed. I believe it will provide a long terms solution to the problem at the property.

I cannot recommend drain doctor enough. Highly professional, ethical and fairly priced. The work was completed diligently and was customer focused. The engineer was skilled and took pride in his work. After two days of complicated and intense work everything was made good and you wouldn't know anything had been done. Except for the collapsed and cracked sewage pipe was repaired and replaced. Thank you Kirk and thank you Drain Doctor

What a great and efficient experience!
About 10 mins after I asked for a visit (for the next day) I got a call from the company to say that they had availability for that day which was really appreciated.
I stuck with the next day and Joe called me 20mins before attending the property. He explained everything he was going to do, got the job up and ready after agreement of the price. He flushed out the blocked drain and did an investigation. Took him about 10 mins to find what was wrong. He then explained the fix that he could do, have me another quote. He checked with the office to see if he could do it today, and got on with the job when he got the go ahead. All done and so quick, I couldn't believe it! Joe was so polite and he was a breath of fresh air. Really appreciate everything and I will be recommending Drain Doctor to everyone!

Resolved a really tricky problem with 2 blocked loos at the rear of the house.
Rob who attended was professional and knowledgeable, and explained what work was needed to be done to resolve our blocked toilets. He gave a quote that outlined the worst case scenario and arranged a quick booking. The work was completed successfully and I was updated through the day on what was found and what had been done.

The Workman arrived promptly the very next day and carried out the work efficiently. He did a thorough job of clearing out the drain so that my water runs smoothly now which I haven’t been able to do for a long time. He cleaned up afterwards and kept the area tidy.

Absolutely brilliant. The guy who unlocked our drain is super sound, the drain blockage was really bad and he persevered until it was done. Very happy with the service and work ethic.

I don’t usually leave reviews, but the service I received today genuinely stood out.
From start to finish, it was excellent. I really wish I’d caught the gentleman’s name, as he deserves recognition. He went above and beyond to resolve my issue, delivering a level of service that’s rare to come by. What impressed me most was that he never once asked for a review or mentioned feedback—he simply focused on doing his job exceptionally well.
He was professional, friendly, and genuinely helpful throughout. While the cost initially felt a bit high, the quality of service I received—largely thanks to him—made it feel completely worthwhile.
Bravo, and fair play—this is exactly the kind of service you hope for.

Kirk was brilliant at sorting out our drain issue today. He was thoroughly professional and showed the problem with the pipe, using the camera footage to explain things. Drain Doctor you have a gem in Kirk, providing, great service. Thank you.

The Drain Doctor that came to diagnose my sewage ingress problem was great. The CCTV picked up the fault and in no time the repair was swiftly and efficiently dealt with.
The engineer was great at explaining about the issue, he was polite and friendly at all times. Thank you.

Sheer professionalism of the person who did the job, and a nice bloke doing it. Not I suspect the cheapest but I was very impressed indeed by the thoroughness and scale of the work offered and done.

I found myself in a truly horrible situation — a blocked toilet in the en‑suite that caused wastewater to back up through the shower drain and flood the shower tray. Absolutely grim. I called Drain Doctor, and Kirk arrived promptly to help.
Within minutes, Kirk identified the cause: a build‑up of wet wipes where the soil pipe meets the sewer. He explained clearly why even “flushable” wipes can cause serious problems, which was genuinely helpful. Using a range of tools including a pressure jet and a specialised camera, he removed the entire blockage and inspected the pipework thoroughly to make sure nothing was missed.
What really impressed me was how meticulous Kirk was. After clearing everything, he made sure we ran all taps and flushed every toilet in the house to confirm the system was draining properly. Throughout the visit he was polite, courteous, cheerful, and had a great sense of humour — which made light of what could have been a traumatising experience.
I was initially shocked at the cost, as I usually try to tackle these things myself, but given the scale of the blockage, the difficulty of accessing the pipes, and the thorough job Kirk carried out, it was absolutely worth it. There’s no way I could have resolved this on my own.
Thank you, Drain Doctor, and a huge thank you to Kirk — you saved us from every householder’s worst nightmare.

The team were fanatastic when I called in an emergency. Very helpful, prompt and reassuring.

Have used their service a couple of times and each time been met with personable, friendly staff who will help to the best of their ability. Totally recommend!

Reply from Drain Doctor - Bristol & Gloucestershire
We had a badly blocked bath drain which was starting to leak. The whole process with Drain Doctor was crazy quick, from initial contact to job finishing it was about an hour, and the two gents (I didn't get their name sorry!) sorted it out. It's now better than it was when we moved in a year ago. Hopefully all is well from here, but I wouldn't hesitate to get in touch with them again.

Reply from Drain Doctor - Bristol & Gloucestershire
Simple to contact.
Quick response.
Convenient appointment time.
Two friendly, knowledgeable operatives, who explained every stage of the process simply.
It will be easy for me to recommend Drain Doctor to family and friends if need be in the future.

Our Saniflo had failed. We have a week old baby and an elderly mother living here and were in a bit of a crisis situation. We called for help and spoke to a very kind person on the phone. In two hours two very knowledgeable and pleasant gentlemen turned up and fixed things for us. The price charged was very reasonable too. This is exceptional service and we are extremely grateful.
