10 Top service at realistic prices
Posted 4 days ago
I had been let down by 2 other drainage companies One arrived and did nothing but wanted to charge an enormous amount to rectify faults they never found The second promised a much more realistic approach but then never turned up DCL were recommended to me and didn’t disappoint Arrived on time, stayed late to fix problems and cleared up afterwards All of this was provided at realistic prices as opposed to the others in this industry who charge for every piece of machinery they use I would have no problem using their services again Look no further if you need a company to trustVerified reviewerJob location: RG2710 Professional drainage and plumbing contractors

We got DCL in to sort out a problem caused by a previous contractor. They diagnosed the problem using CCTV on the first visit and quoted for the repair and reinstallation of a WC. The team were super-professional and I would recommend them wholeheartedly.Verified reviewerJob location: RG24- AAnnmarie B
10 Really good friendly plumbing service
Posted 27 October
Dan arrived at my house in good time to repair a leak under my small sink in my bathroom. He was friendly, professional and the leak was repaired under the hour with a new washer being needed. It was a really tight space so he did really well to fix it. Thanks Dan! AnnmarieVerified reviewerJob location: RG24 10 Kitchen leak behind base unit

Start to finish was exceptional. Turned up on time and quickly located the leak. Not a straight forward leak but Desi solved the issue and went above and beyond in resolving some very poor plumbing from the previous owners of the property. Would highly recommend.Verified reviewerJob location: GU1710 Highly impressed

Fantastic to be able to get Cameron back for phase 2. As before weve found him to be reliable, knowledgeable and arrived when arranged. All areas were left tidy upon completion. If you're looking for a reliable plumber, look no further!Verified reviewerJob location: GU1410 Rats in the loft.

We had problems with rats getting into our loft via a broken sewer pipe. Des quickly identified the entry point for the rats and completed all the necessary work to a high standard, including cementing and rat flap installation. No more rats!Verified reviewerJob location: GU16

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.
