10 An excellent drain unblocking service
Posted 20 December 2025
I called Costal Drains Ltd to sort out a blocked sewer pipe in my garden. The office was extremely helpful and explained everything clearly. Mike and Paul arrived promptly, were friendly and professional and dealt with the blockage within 20 minutes. They also advised that repairs to the pipe were not my responsibility and I should contact Southern Water. It was an excellent service and very reasonable.Verified reviewerJob location: BN11Response from Coastal Drains Ltd
