10 Friendly, professional and effective!
Posted 18 July
All of the people I have interacted with at Drain & Able have been great. The back office as well as the on-site engineers were very friendly and professional throughout. The problem was identified quickly and an immediate fix executed, as well as a clear explanation of what was needed to prevent reoccurrence. I immediately felt I was dealing with people who knew exactly what they were doing and cared about my problem. Highly recommended!Verified reviewerJob location: RG410 External drain unblocking

I called Drain and Able in Reading due to a blocked external drain at my elderly mother’s house. I spoke with a lady called Diane who was very sympathetic and who quickly arranged for the engineer to come to site. I met Kevin onsite at the agreed time he was very courteous and went about his job in a very professional way. It didn’t take Kevin long to clear the blockage, and afterwards Kevin checked to make sure everything was working as it should be before he left site. I wouldn’t hesitate to use Drain and Able again and I can highly recommend this company.Verified reviewerJob location: RG3110 Chartered Accountant

Could not fault them!Verified reviewerJob location: RG710 Toilet backing up
Posted 23 April
Ben, from Drain & Able first attended on 24th March. He was more than happy to let me watch what was going on, and showed me the camera view revealing the damage done by a water pipe ‘moling’ through a toilet drain, thus causing our toilet to back up. By 4th April all work had been completed. When the repair was actually undertaken, like any small boy, I wanted to look in the hole and see what was going on, and this didn’t cause them any problem. If they hadn’t wanted me to look, that would have been cause for concern! As you can see by the attached you can just tell where they lifted the paviVerified reviewerJob location: RG410 Repairing/ refitting worn pitch fibre drain
