Drainflow Manchester

Drainflow Manchester is a drainage specialist business founded and owned by Barry Dillon, who has 25 years of experience as a drainage engineer and consultant. The company serves commercial and residential customers in Greater Manchester, including South Manchester areas such as Altrincham, Chorlton, Didsbury, Flixton, Hale, Hale Barns, Irlam, Old Trafford, Rusholme, Sale, Stockport, Stretford, Timperley, and Urmston, as well as Cheshire locations including Alderley Edge, Knutsford, and Wilmslow.

Its engineers are trained to work in confined spaces in compliance with the Health and Safety at Work Act and the Confined Spaces Regulations, and are qualified and re-certified every three years in high pressure water jetting, following the Water Jetting Association's Code of Practice. The company is approved to carry out drain repair and maintenance work for major insurance companies and is DBS approved, safeguarding vulnerable adults and children in the schools, nurseries, care homes, and retirement homes where they work. It holds public liability insurance. Main services include emergency drain unblocking, CCTV drain surveys, drain repairs, and drain maintenance.

Drainflow Manchester is a drainage specialist whose customers repeatedly single out Barry for his speedy response and clear communication. Several reviewers describe how quickly he answers enquiries, sometimes arriving within a couple of hours of the first call, and how he keeps in touch by phone or messaging at every stage. Something that features in review after review is his use of camera equipment that can travel deep into pipework, with images shared before and after the work so customers can see what has been found and fixed.

Reviewers mention drain clearing, surveys, soil pipe and drain pipe repairs, excavation of damaged sections and re-pointing of brickwork or re-concreting of paths afterwards. Barry is described as polite, punctual and tidy, explaining problems in plain language and quoting fairly before starting. Customers note that he has resolved blockages other drainage firms could not, including tree roots in pipework, and that he double-checks drains are clear before leaving. The willingness to liaise with property owners during a survey is also mentioned.
