    Speedy visit, very knowledgeable

    Posted 12 March

    Came out same day, within an hour of calling. Investigated fully and explained everything as he went. Super friendly, and took the time to make sure I had the right part to further fix the problem. If I have any other drainage issues, would definitely use again and recommend to others, thank you! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Response from Inspect a Drain Ltd

    Just a shame STW couldn’t have done the same on the countless visits they made to you? This should be the end of your drain problem now! Thankyou for your custom and taking the time to leave a review

    Quick and efficient drain survey.

    Posted 10 March

    Roger was very quick to respond and arrived promptly. He explained what he was doing and talked me through the various costs of the drain survey, and sent me the recordings the same day.

    CCTV Drain Survey

    Posted 03 March

    Roger arrived at the arranged time and carried out a very thorough drain CCTV survey, which I was able to watch as he did it, as well as having the footage sent to me via email afterwards. He was able to fully map my system, and a shared section under my neighbours drive, and gave me a full breakdown of what work was required. A great guy to deal with, I'd fully recommend him.

    Really quick & helpful

    Posted 27 February

    A huge thank you to Roger for rescuing us! We’d tried everything and he came out really quickly and spent hours trying to sort the issue - which was resolved. Lovely to deal with, super clear about what each part of the process might cost and gave us choices. Feel so relieved we didn’t need to go through insurance and would recommend to anyone. Invoice as expected and itemised clearly. Thank you 🙏
