They even cleaned away the waste my father had when he tried to resolve the matter himself. 100 % recommend Drain Medics. And very pleased with the price. Only 1 tiny tiny thing I could not find anything on trustpilot or check a trade as advised. But the Google reviews were good enough. Thank you once again."

The following day his team worked tirelessly to repair my drain - they were very knowledgable, the work was tidy and to a high standard, and they were nice chaps, too. Also much cheaper than other quotes, especially from the likes of Dynarod. Will definitely use Holgates again for any drainage issues and recommend to my F&F."

"My parents have been having problems with the drains backing up , phoned Drain Medics on a Saturday morning , Daniel turned up in the afternoon and sorted the problem out by jetting the drains and checked with the camera afterwards, very prompt service also, which is good, he telephoned to let me know what time to expect him turning up and he was punctual, very reasonable priced, would use Drain Medics in the future and recommend them to anyone experiencing drainage issues."
"Absolutely fantastic service!! My sister in law recently had an emergency that I myself had to arrange. The person I spoke with on the phone couldn't have been more helpful and despite being fully booked managed to move thing around to accommodate, working in a service engineer role myself I understand how difficult this can be but nothing was too much trouble. The engineers that turned out first thing in the morning! contacted to let her know they were on the way and turned up bang on time. they were professional and courtious throughout. All costs were discussed upfront there were no hidden or ridiculous callout costs, I highly recommend this company"
"Friendly, professional service who came out the same morning. They sorted the problem, replaced everything and washed down the drive afterwards. They also advised on what to do should it ever happen in future. I'd highly recommend them."
"10/10 service. Messaged via WhatsApp in the morning and the drain was cleared by early afternoon. Great communication and Nathan was a lovely chap. Highly recommend!"
"Had a few problems with my drains, always fast to get out to me and very helpful"
"Phoned on a Saturday afternoon. Got quote, knew what I was to pay and what service (jetting and camera). Two hours later Nathan was here. Blocked pipe cleared, but he sent camera down and continued to jet water down until it was as clear as he could get it. He COULD have left earlier as the blockage was resolved, but was particular about doing the best he could do. Provided suggestions on remedial work for the future. Worked with good humour throughout. They are now going to be on my phone contacts list for future work. Thank you Dan (quick phone answering, professional and good organisation of staff), thank you Nathan (clearly know what you are doing with fantastic customer service)"
"These plumbers are great and super quick to respond to an issue. Danny was very helpful and I'd recommend their services"
"Really impressed with Daniel and his team. A number of other companies/plumbers had come out and left without helping with the job. Drain Medics were quick, professional and very reasonable. Would definitely use again!"
"So professional and lovely. Extremely good job done x highly recommend this guy. Thankyou so much Daniel.x x"
"Superb service spending time to make sure everything was in order. Highly recommended."
"I had a blocked pipe and called for somebody to come out as it was backing up a toilet and I need to get it sorted urgently. The team came round the same day. They sorted it and showed me on their camera that there was something stuck in the pipe which had been dropped during other work being done. The team gave me a full breakdown of what needed to be done and gave me a time scale of 6 to 12 months when they recommended it needed to be sorted by. A few months passed and I called them to come and fix the issue found on the camera last time. When they arrived they first put the camera down to check the blockage only to find that it had gone. I was not outside at the time so they could have easily just carried on with the work agreed. However they came to find me to inform me that the blockage had now washed away and that no further work needed to be done. I would highly recommend this company for their honesty let alone the great quick work they did first time round."
"Highly recommended, retrieved drain rods and cleared blockage. Cleaned all the area after finishing and guaranteed it for 12 months. Can't thank you enough. 👍"
"I cannot recommend this company high enough, he turned up when he said he would, that alone is a bonus after being let down by another company. He was efficient, very polite and got the job done. I would not go anywhere else."
"Friendly and professional. Recommended"
"Phoned and they were here within 2 hours. Unblocked my drain and cleaned out a 2nd while he was at it. Camera showed some route penetration so these were water blasted and cleared too. Superb service, highly recommended."
"THE ONE AND ONLY PLACE TO GO FOR DRAIN BLOCKAGES. SUPERB SERVICE FROM START TO FINISH . THANKS DAN AND THE LADS ."
"Top service provided at a very reasonable cost. Let’s face it, Daniel won’t get much repeat service as we don’t all suffer repeated block drains, but I’ll certainly recommend to everyone I possibly can. If you’re lucky and Daniel can come to you, don’t hesitate."
"Excellent service. Came out the same day even though it was dark and pouring with rain. Came back out as there was another problem. Would only use this company"
"Daniel is a true professional, saved our chaotic nightmare and eased us back to normality with a very competitive rate, top quality service completed in a timely manner and had the good will to even take up an interest and humour the children, would highly recommend went above and beyond, cannot fault at all, Sam,accrington"
"Daniel came at last min and saved the day Im pregnent with sickness bad drain problems didnt help Hes so profession without rushing He sorted the blockage witch was bad and even did the clean up and repair i will never use anyone else"
"Excellent customer service and drains work on 100% point. Price/cost given to me upfront, no hidden costs. Work that was required explained; why it happened and how they were fixing it. 12 month guarantee and full invoice given. absolutely spot on."
"Super service , very quick response , & job done next day & all tidy & complete , definitely recommend 👍"
"What can I say other than life savers! For 3 days we had a blocked toilet and had 4 plumbers come round and none could fix it. Each one said different things. And with kids at home it was becoming extremely difficult for us. We even contacted a high well known company Dyno who would not touch the job. Becoming very upset and giving up hope, me and my husband searched on google for any drain company, we rang a few and all were booked or couldnt come ASAP. We rang drain medics who spoke to a plumber who was here at the time and explained what the problem was. Within 2 hours Drain Medics came and within 20 mins cleared the blockage, cleaned my gutter which we also found out was the reason my house had a foul odour and put the toilet back on. I cannot thank them enough, they were fantastic and so lovely. DEFO RECOMMEND! Hopefully this never happens again but if it does, I know who to contact! One very happy family!! Thank u so much guys"
"rang drain medics to unblock my waste pipe, they arrived in under 2 hrs and provided a top class service. would highly recommend to anyone."
"Called Drain Medics after my drain got blocked. Neil came down the same day and sorted it within the hour. Very reasonably priced and excellent service. 12 months warranty given also! Cannot recommend enough ."
"Brilliant service, had a really bad blockage, we had been trying to unblock for days, tried everything but could not shift it, rang Daniel at Drain Medics and he came same day and sorted it immediately, also gives you the quote upfront and very very reasonable price!"
