What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Homeowners across Birmingham dealing with blocked pipes, buried manholes and root-infested drains repeatedly describe the same pattern of service from this drainage specialist. Several reviewers highlight the technical skill on display, with engineers using camera surveys to locate problems and then relining damaged sections or clearing stubborn root clumps that had defeated other contractors. A recurring theme is the willingness to persevere on difficult jobs: one customer notes that a problem no one else could solve was fixed in under an hour, while another describes engineers contacting the water authority when a blockage proved larger than anticipated.

Punctuality and communication come up often, with customers mentioning calls ahead of visits, flexible scheduling and clear explanations of findings and options both during and after the work. Tidiness is mentioned repeatedly, including wiping down surfaces and clearing spillage after pipe residue fell. Named engineers such as Simon, Ben Harrison, Lewis, Chris, Shane, Wez, Cameron and Nick Fellows are singled out for being polite, courteous and knowledgeable, particularly when dealing with vulnerable residents or urgent situations such as a household left without working toilets. The work spans drain unblocking, CCTV inspection, relining, rodding eye repairs and sewage-related callouts.

Nick Fellows came to inspect the drains at our property in Halesowen. He put the camera down the drain and identified the problem. He removed the blockage and explained all his findings. Very professional and a job well done. A credit to your company

I would give zero if I could. Absolutely useless, no one has any idea what the other is doing. Zero communication unless we called. Cancelled multiple times but didn’t think to let anyone know. They quoted two days and did it in half a day (after sitting in the van all morning) and actually made the pipework wonky. I know they have some good reviews, but I wouldn’t waste your money and would go somewhere else.

Attended my property, paid in full with assurance that would be refunded minus the call out if drain couldn’t be unblocked. Engineer equipment battery ran out 40 mins in to an hour long appointment and said office will call to process refund. This was 3 weeks ago now, despite several calls and emails to Sharon the manager. I’ve not had a call back, a response to my email or a refund. So broken promises and very poor service.

Engineers Wez (aka mush) and shane...fanatastic guys...came out today 12/10/2025 at 9ish. Know there job very well. After 3 days without a toilet...these guys managed to find out the blockage. Polite..clean...and explained everything to me. Reasurred me that they get it done asap for my disabled mum to use the downstairs toilet. Pls come back to fix it. We need more guys like you. Hopefully see you guys tomorow...so u guys can attack the roots that are causing the blockage. Riffat Update 28/10/2025 P.s. after 3 weeks didnt see shane or wez. Still had the same problem. Until logaan turned up. All credit goes to him. He was determined to find the blockage and sort it. He went above and beyond for my mum...even going to the get her a kamode to use...instead of the low box thing...which she couldnt stand up from coz of her arthiritis. Logaan (sorry if i spelt this wrong) but thank you so much. Honestly if it wasnt for your determination and push this wouldnt have been sorted. We need more guys like you out there. Keep up the great work. Thank you.
