10 Roots blocked drain and soil stack replacement.
Posted 1 week ago
No complaints whatsoever. Excellent communication, turning up, diagnosing of the problem, doing the work quickly at a fair price. Friendly hard working chaps. Privet roots had invaded and blocked a section of drain which needed digging up and replacing with a new section of pipe, and the soil stack was replaced. They jetted clean the blockage and the manholes. I wish I'd contacted them first as the first chap I had contacted merely tried to rod out the blockage, which was not possible due to the roots.Verified reviewerJob location: S81Response from Ace of Drains

10 Excellent communication, excellent service
Posted 17 January
Can’t fault the service from Howard, Lucas and Mark. A blocked underground drain meant our toilet was out of action and required digging up block paving and repairing pipework. They visited multiple times to inspect, jet, and finally complete the repair. Every visit was on time, communication was clear throughout, and costs were transparent and reasonable from the outset. The end result looks like they were never even here. Everything fixed. Excellent service all round. Would happily use them again and recommend to others.Verified reviewerJob location: S13Response from Ace of Drains

7.67 Blocked external drain cleared
Posted 12 January
They were very friendly and professional to speak with and offered some good advice. Howard’s communications were good but a little confusion with times from another employee member but arrived when Howard said they would. They cleared the drain which seems to have solved the problem, unfortunately the motor ran out of fuel so couldn’t finish the high pressure hose they intended to do but fingers hopefully didn’t matter. The hosing took about 10 minutes which meant the cost of the work although standard feels unfair but better than damage from flood water. Thank you.Verified reviewerJob location: S17Response from Ace of Drains
