How this company uses Trustpilot
See how their reviews and ratings are sourced, scored, and moderated.
Recently moved into an older property to find the kitchen sink drain blocked. Chose Drain Doctor (Derby) because of the good reviews and l was not disappointed!
The offending drain was quickly cleared of a large grease accumulation and during this process they found some serious cracks and even a hole in the downward underground pipe. All this was available for me to actually see with the aid of their specialised camera equipment. It was quite scary!
The suggested solution was to insert four quite lengthy glass fibre "sleeves" which are fixed to the inside of the pipe, thus giving structural integrity and negating the possibility of potential drain collapse.
A reasonable quote was given stating it would take one day to complete. Work started a few days later.
The team came up with some real huge problems due to the shape and size of the pipe and some quite big alterations and improvements had to be made . The one day turned into 3 of which two continued well into the evening.
All this time the team remained so pleasant and positive, saying they usually get one in fifty that turns out to be very difficult...but ours was the worst they'd ever seen !
Late on a Friday evening work was completed and we were shown the result using their camera. Everything was perfect!
To their absolute credit, they stuck to their original quote even though l know they likely would have made a loss on this job! Not even accepting extra money we offered - saying it was fine...it was a learning experience.
The team was led by Richard, but most of the work done by Paul and Wayne, assisted by Adam. They worked so hard ( with a smile) and did a fantastic job for which we are so grateful .
I have no hesitation in recommending this company every time. If l could give 10 stars l would.

The admin staff were very prompt to answer and return calls. We were booked in for a time to fit around our work commitments which was helpful. Wayne arrived early and he was very professional and friendly. He explained his assessment findings and proceeded to sort out our booked pipe efficiently. I would not hesitate to recommend Wayne and his team. Thank you.
