Great company. Very responsive, but most of all reassuring. The technician explained everything he was doing and cleaned up after.

It all started with a blocked soil pipe, having contacted so called 24 hr plumbers who didn't turn up. I spotted a Drain Doctor van on my way home from shopping. I rang booked in. Pete arrived, unblocked the pipe, something wasn't right, so he put the camera down for a look see, we had a collapsed drain pipe. He came back the following week to fix it, which he did. A great job in spite of the awful weather. Great Job highly recommended.

I feel I was misinformed by the Drain Doctor technician, which resulted me paying for a service which should have been handled by United Utilities for free.

Hello Craig,

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review.

We attended your property and carried out work to clear a blockage within the boundary of your land, which is the homeowner’s responsibility. During the visit, our technician also identified a separate issue located on United Utilities land. As we are not authorised to carry out work on their network, this was correctly reported to them for further action.

The work you were charged for related solely to the blockage within your property boundary that we attended and resolved.

We appreciate you taking the time to share your concerns.

Kind regards,

Calum

Great service from Drain Doctor NW

On contacting Drain Doctor NW online with our problem they got back to us very quickly with a response and came to the property the next day at the time given.
Peter was very knowledgeable and helpful and a pleasure to deal with. He sorted the problem and using the camera and diagnostic tools was able to tell us what had caused the problem and what the next steps were.
He returned a couple of days later with the appropriate equipment and completed the job.
We would not hesitate to recommend this company for their friendly, efficient and thorough workmanship.

Very professional service

Phoned drain doctor to come look at a blocked toilet. The gentleman asked a few questions (IE does it happen often, what have I tried to unblock etc).

He then gave me 2 quotes, as would depend on the seriousness of the blockage and if it was a 2 man job or not.

He was really upfront with what the potential issues would be and the cost for each (it was the cheaper option in the end).

He also told me what was done, how he had tested it was working and how to prevent in the future.

Very quick response

Very quick response, less than an hour from initial call to someone arriving, even though I didn't describe it as an emergency.
They were efficient and knowledgeable and did a job that I couldn't have done as a DIYer.
A shocking amount of money for an hour and a half of work unclogging a drain with a jet hose, but I don't know if it is more than other companies charge. In the end, I was happy to have the drain unblocked and was fortunate enough to be able to afford it and they seemed like a good company.

Amazing work

Amazing work! After an ongoing problem continuing for over 10 years, including sewage spilling on our driveway and United utilities claiming that the responsibility is our as on property boundaries, the engineer from Drains doctor ran a CCTV camera and found the issue to be well away out of boundaries. He was very polite, informative, hard working and explained in detail the situation to UU.
Im very greatful for the work he did
Hopefully this will put an end to my long term drainage nightmare.
Highly recommended.
Thank you!

Very prompt attendance

Very prompt attendance. Diagnosed the problem immediately and rectified the problem. He was very friendly and professional.

In addition he found a crack in the drain which could cause a major problem. He explained what he could do to prevent it happening. It was expensive to do it but at no time did he push me to have it done. Just advised and showed me the problem and I told him to go ahead.
