    D C L Drainge and Plumbing - blocked gully cleared

    Posted 3 days ago

    We discovered a blocked gully outlet from our driveway after a torrential rain storm. I contacted D C L Drainage and Plumbing who were able to do the work within a few hours of my call. Excellent service and Ian the operative was a very pleasant guy to deal with and talked us through the process. The job was completed quickly and effectively.

    Excellent workmanship and company to deal with

    Posted 3 days ago

    Right from first speaking to DCL about our issue and getting it booked in, all staff have been courteous and helpful. Ian arrived on time, got straight on with the work in hand and completed it to an excellent standard. Ian tidied up after himself and also helped me tape round the new drain on the driveway so no-one could drive over the new cement. An excellent company to deal with and paying was easy too.

    Professional, brilliant communication and friendly technicians.

    Posted 25 July

    DCL came out to assess a leak we so we can reduce the risk of it getting worse. Technicians came out to see us quickly and let us know what the issue was and how we can minimise the risk of damage while we are away. The technicians who attended were very professional and communicated everything every clearly and gave us a rough costing to get the problem resolved. Very happy with the service we have received! Both the technician and the trainee (sorry I didn't catch your names!) were very friendly too which was really appreciated!

Thank you for looking at our Checkatrade page.

We are a small team of drainage and plumbing experts that brings you over 20 years of experience in the industry.


We use top quality, leading drainage clearance equipment which is designed to have the job completed efficiently the first time.

We cover all aspects of drainage and plumbing from drain camera rat investigations to unblocking sinks and fixing taps.


We have enough experience to diagnose the problem over the phone and so therefore have fixed prices that remain the same.

We also have some new, improved gutter cleaning equipment that allows us to show you camera footage of the blockage, both before and after the clean. This gives you peace of mind that the cleaning has been carried out effectively.

We carry out an enhanced “soak-away treatment process” that aims to keep your soak-aways clean and maintained: this is far cheaper than a full replacement which can run into thousands of pounds.


We feel that we are big enough to cope but small enough to care. It may sound strange, but we enjoy our job! It can be a household task that many homeowners will not wish to tackle, so let us do the dirty work for you.
