Reviews of Down The Drain Plumbers

C. A.

Dave and Andy were very responsive with communication and worked efficiently every time I saw them. Dave was clear what the next steps were and made sure I understood any ramifications. All in all I was very pleased with these two cheery guys who seemed to have a hard job but were often smiling. The quote was reasonable considering the work and Dave did try to work ahead of schedule to make for a less expensive solution but we decided to fix the waste pipe securely for the foreseeable future and do it properly. The quote was the final amount and do expect to pay on card at the end of the day (no 30 day invoice). Their reviews speak for themselves. You can trust them to be truthful.

S. D.

I've used Dave a number of times over the last few months - he's responsive, knowledgeable, honest - will not talk you into expensive work - and persistent. We've had issues with drainage which have not always been obvious or easy to diagnose, but Dave has really stuck with it and got the job done. I've seen many tradesmen in other situations just walk away from difficult problems, but you won't have this with Dave. His continuity of care is unrivalled. Would highly recommend.

Q. M.

Dave came at very short notice after we realised we may have had a blocked drain in our new house. He unblocked the drain quickly but then discovered there was a further problem with a pipe that could cause blockages in the future. He returned a couple of weeks later for the bigger job and had it all done in less than two days. The final amount came in below his original quote, as he was able to carry it out quicker than anticipated. He was quick, efficient and very knowledgeable and better value than some of the other larger plumbers I contacted. I would highly recommend him.

W. X.

Excellent service. Called Down the Drain for a blocked kitchen sink. Even though we are outside their service area, Dave and his team kindly travelled 1 hour 20 minutes to our rescue and sorted the problem quickly and expertly. Very professional, friendly, honest and considerate. I would highly recommend them.

E. H.

Dave @ Down the Drain removed and installed a replacement bath for us yesterday. His attention to detail, experience in complicated plumbing is exceptional. A stress free experience! We recommend Down the Drain and will definitely use them for all our plumbing problems!

O. F.

A great job all round. Communicative, professional and a nice clean job. Nice simple job fitting an outdoor tap but was also kind enough to advise on some other plumbing woes whilst explaining the job thoroughly.

A. M.

Dave and the team are extremely knowledgeable and professional. They located the leak, fixed it and replaced the flooring so that it looks like no one has been there. Thanks down the drain!

K. F.

Arrived promptly and resolved my plumbing issues quickly. Very knowledgeable. Happy to recommend their services.

M. G.

Dave was prompt, polite and very thorough. The work was carried out efficiently - and he even called first to check what type of toilet we had, to make sure he brought the right parts with him. I'd definitely use them again and would recommend others to do the same.

L. S.

Dave did a fantastic job of unblocking our drain, and talked us through what he was doing and what the cause of the issue was. We had booked them for the next day but they called us later to let us know another job had gone quicker than expected and they could come help us same day which I really appreciated. Dave was super friendly and left the place cleaner than he found it! Also he noticed a tile had come off in our bathroom (not what he was called out for) and kindly put it back for us. Cannot recommend enough, we'll definitely be using these guys in the future! Update: Following the previous visit, we had them out again to replace our IKEA sink trap with a proper one, as well as replace our tap. Did the job beautifully! Cheers!

C. D.

We had a blocked drain, despite having paid quite a lot of money to another large, well known chain of plumbers a few weeks beforehand. Dave from Down the Drain came out on a Saturday morning after we rang on Friday night and quickly sorted the problem. Good value, good quality work, would recommend him and the firm.

R. R.

A swift and friendly response on a Saturday morning. Clear and reasonable pricing and the issue was resolved quickly. I was pleased with the service, thank you!

D. B.

Dave and his team came out quickly to repair a leaking drain pipe. They diagnosed the issue, suggested and talked us through a suitable solution and repaired it within a few days. Would recommend

A. T.

Great service from the team at Down the Drain. Dave was able to come and help unblock our kitchen drain within an hour of calling them and was straight into action sorting the problem. It was easy to tell that he knew exactly what he was doing and the standard of the finished job was excellent. We will be using them annually from here on.

T. P.

Great service from Down the Drain Plumbers, would absolutely use them again. They were professional and friendly, explaining exactly what needed doing. They unblocked our badly-clogged kitchen sink, bathroom sink and bath with ease, and the work was done quickly and efficiently. Excellent value for money. I definitely recommend them to anyone.

J. C.

Dave from Down the Drain responded promptly to my request for a quote. The work was completed to a high standard and the site left tidy. He and his colleague were polite and professional at all times and I would recommend his services.

M. R.

Brilliant service - extremely quick response time, very helpful, professional, punctual, considerate and honest plumbers, transparent pricing and great quality of work. From my experience plumbing issues can be quite stressful and finding the right company to do the job isn’t always easy, so coming across Down The Drain and them fixing the issue so quickly has been a godsend for me. 100% recommend!

A. G.

Great service. I got quotes from several plumbers and this was the cheapest. They came within 4 hours of my call. The job was done in less than 20 min and they also had a look at another sink for me. Very happy with the service and will use them again

C. B.

Dave recommended a replacement tap and was happy to source this for us. He said he could do the job in under half an hour and was true to his word. Great service, I would recommend to anyone!

M. V.

Down the Drain did an excellent job fixing two drains at my property. They were professional, on time and lovely guys. They got the problem sorted very quickly. I would highly recommend them.

K. B.

Dave and the team were absolutely fantastic. Came out very quickly to perform a comprehensive drains assessment. Arrived early, worked fast, provided a DVD and paperwork confirming the situation. Their correspondence on text and email was prompt, polite and they're just nice guys who know what they're doing. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them for any plumbing needs - we will definitely be calling them back.

S. C.

Down the Drain plumbers are a fabulous family run plumbers with three generations of plumbers in the family business (all of whom are called Dave). They could not have been nicer. I was in a sensitive situation caring fur my terminally ill Aunt in the front room. I had a horribly blocked toilet and they had to bypass the front room to get to it. They were so discreet, kind, professional and efficient. They came out immediately and fixed the toilet quickly with minimal fuss. Salt of the earth blokes who refused payment when then saw my situation. How decent can you get.!!! Hire them. You won't regret it.

J. C.

Arrived promptly and advised that work would be carried out within the hour. It was. My new tap was fitted and leaking pipe repaired. I was was very happy with the service and would recommend this company to others.

J. B.

Dave was prompt, reliable and obviously knew his stuff. He did a great job for a good price. Highly recommended!

L. P.

Dave and team did great job! Did CCTV of all drains, identifying and clearing rat damage/debris in pipes. Removed and replaced damaged pipe. Honest, reliable, punctual, good humoured! Responds quickly to texts/calls. Always keeping me updated on situation and happy to explain. CCTV DVD and paperwork/report given. Reasonable price. Would recommend!

S. F.

Dave helped us resolve a very serious leak at our property, caused by the previous builders and involving the dismantling of a brand new kitchen and excavation of the drain line underneath. Dave is extremely punctual, friendly and a great communicator, breaking down the work for us (and our insurers), and providing reports and CCTV drain scans as needed. This was invaluable and really helped us get through a stressful period. The work itself was done efficiently and to schedule. Highly recommended.

S. T.

A great service provided by Dave and his team. Very professional and led us through the plan and timelines before he started any work.

S. L.

Dave arrived on the dot of our arranged time and then proceeded not to charge me for what he explained was a minor repair. He explained how I could easily remedy it myself and so saved me £45. He was really friendly and knowledgeable - I wouldn’t call anyone else. Plumber for life! Thanks Dave.

M. N.

Dave came round really promptly, found the problem quickly, dealt with it really professionally and made no attempt to string the job out or find ways to charge us more. Very happy to recommend to anyone.

J. A.

Excellent experience with Down The Drain, David came round within 24 hours of me calling about a leaking toilet. They were professional, explained the problem, were quick to fix it and clearly weren't there to rip me off. I would highly recommend using them!

L. L.

Great experience with down the drain plumbers when they replaced a bath tap fitting and a sink tap fitting. Dave was very easy to contact and was able to provide me with a fair price. The job was completed very quickly and to an excellent standard. I would definitely recommend this company to a friend.

B. M.

I contacted Dave at Down The Drain on bank holiday Friday to help with a blocked drain at a property that I manage. It was so simple to book, Dave arrived early the next morning as promised, was courteous to the tenants living there and had the drain cleared in no time, all for a very reasonable price. I’ll be using them again to help with any drainage issues at any other properties I manage.

J. F.

We've had Dave round twice since we moved into our new home. He's cleared all the niggly little problems we found - blocked outside drain, dripping taps, slow-leaking loo (and cleared up the carnage of my husband trying to do one of the jobs himself!) Dave is reliable, knows his plumbing stuff, and does the job for a fair price. Highly recommended.

H. G.

The guys replaced a weeping kitchen tap that had a really awkward access and fixed a couple of other issues that turned up. Dave was responsive, got the job done without any dramas, gave good advice. Highest recommendation I can give is that I will be using them again next time anything turns up 👍 Many Thanks!

J.

Was given Down The Drain Plumbers details by another plumber who had been unable to clear my blocked sink. I called and spoke with Dave who I immediately got a good vibe from. He was informative and agreed a time to come out to my property. Due to an unforeseen problem he was unable to attend at the arranged time but let me know in good time and because I genuinely had a good feel for him I did not go elsewhere but waited for when he could come and arranged another time later in the week. He was very clear on his pricing and said he would know within half an hour how serious it would be as I was a little concerned about prices escalating. He came out this morning with his colleague on time, and was friendly and got to work straight away. Within half an hour he was done and my sink was unblocked. Gave me advice on taking care of it in the future. Very professional guy and would definitely recommend him for any plumbing job you might have. Pricing also very reasonable. Thank you.

C. B.

We had problems with our shower, kitchen sink and downstairs toilet drains. Dave came spot on time as agreed (in fact a bit early), cleared all three drains in thirty minutes or less and at the agreed half hour rate. Really nice guy - fantastic service! Highly recommended

A. F.

We had an excellent experience with Dave and I can thoroughly recommend him. We had a problem with a smell in our conservatory and could not get rid of it despite cleaning the gutters, down pipe etc several times. Dave manged to find the real cause of the smell and repaired the relevant drain which had nothing to do with th conservatory! He was also willing to come back and sort the floorboard which was sticking out so he had to adjust it and fit back the carpet. Dave is very nice and reliable and I would use him again .

S. H.

Just had Dave rip out and replace our bathroom including tiling. We’re really pleased with the quality of the finish Dave has achieved. Half way through the work our upstairs neighbour flooded our bathroom and knowing we were due to move in the following week Dave worked through the weekend to get the job finished. Communication was great and will definitely use Dave again in the future.

J. H.

Would give more than 5 stars if Google would allow me! Had an extremely stressful and difficult to detect rotten egg smell in the new house we had just purchased. Had several plumbers and exterminators visit our house and no one could diagnose the problem over a 2 month period...the plumbers thought we had rats and the rat guys thought we had a plumbing problem. We finally contacted Dave who came over the next day and undertook a CCTV drain survey and discovered two problems. Was extremely empathetic to our plight and managed to move his diary around to accommodate the works to be done in time for Christmas meaning we were finally able to enjoy our new home and just in time for Christmas. He even emailed us on Boxing Day to check that the smell didn’t return and ruin Christmas. Top guy, super reliable and price was very fair. Couldn’t recommend enough!

M. W.

Dave arrived promptly at the agreed time, did the job quickly and efficiently with no fuss. Decent price too. Extremely friendly and down to earth guy. Definitely recommend!!

T. T.

Called Dave from Down The Drain regarding my leaking bath. He was very polite on the phone and was at my house by the afternoon as he knew I had kids, he fixed the problem very quickly leaving everything the way it was tidy and clean. Also very responsibly priced! Would highly reccomend Down The Drain. My new go to plumber.

L. T.

Would highly recommend Dave from Down the Drain. Really friendly, knowledgeable, professional plumber who came quickly to fix a problem that others couldn't. He even went the extra mile to tell the management company of the flats what they could do to improve communal drains. Lovely chap and great service.

r. n.

Dave had our blocked outside drain cleared within 2hrs of calling - amazing! Explained what he was doing (and why) throughout. No messing about and very reasonable costs. Wouldn't hesitate to use again.

T. H.

A fast, friendly and very affordable service. Dave sorted out our blocked gully drain, and cleaned/sanitised the area thoroughly once he'd finished, while sharing some memories of his youth in the area. A recommended local plumbing service.

Y. C.

Down the Drain did a great job at our home. David gave us a friendly and professional service, getting to the root of the problem and clearing our blocked drain in no time. Thanks David, we will definately call again if we have any plumbing work needed.

J.

Referred to Down the Drain to fix a blocked kitchen drain by another plumber who located the blockage but lacked the equipment to sort it. They arrived early. Their large Draper vacuum kit cleared it in minutes. Very reasonable charge for an hour's work (including clearing up and reassembling the pipework). Will keep their details.

C. S.

Recommended by a couple of friends to contact 'down the drain' as we had a sulphur smell coming from the drain and slow flowing water. The drains were checked and a couple of problems identified, I was then given thorough explanations and advise on how to deal with the issues. They very kindly didn't charge for their time and advise and I would highly recommend them. Thank you!

M. W.

Arrived within the time I was told. Very professional and helpful. Very honest. Didn’t do work that wasn’t needed. Great value for money. Most of all Friendly which was great especially at this hard time. Can’t thank you enough and will definitely use you guys again.

S. I.

I have used Down the drain for replacing waste pipe to washing machine/dishwasher and also to flush out radiators. I highly recommend them, they are reliable and honest.

D. R.

Sent them an email, they provided me with a quote on same day. They showed up next day 8am and fixed my sink in minutes! Really recommend them. Fair price, fast and reliable!

L. A.

We were recommended Dave by a separate plumber to sort out a leaking drain down the side of our flat. Turned up on time, did an excellent job, would happily recommend.

E. C.

Really good service, reasonable price and good communications. Thank you!

J. A.

Would thoroughly recommend! We had a leak, which Dave came round and checked the day after we called. Leak was contained, he came back the following week to fix and was quicker than quoted so we paid less :-)

H. H.

Excellent friendly service, they arrived promptly and unblocked a kitchen pipe and outside drain for a reasonable cost, highly recommended!

D. B.

Our kitchen waste was blocked and I was seriously worried it might be a major problem due to the length of the waste. Dave turned up the following morning, had it sorted in less than 20 minutes. His charge was 3 times less than what Pimlico Plumbers quoted me for just turning up! I'll be holding onto Dave's details for any future work.

g. g.

I had Dave round from down the drain plumbers... I had a serious leak in my bathroom upstairs he found the leak.
