Unblocking of a drain leading from a toilet.

"I have had help from Bruce over the years and I can't recommend him highly enough. He responds very quickly and the work gets done with ease.

Today I called to ask if he could help to unblock the drain. He was with me in less than 10 minutes. He has a lovely manner and always a cheery smile.

10 out of 10! Thank you."

Unblocking drains

"After having one drain unblocking company come up that charged me �150 but didn�t fix the blockage and didn�t come back as they promised, I had to find another company and was lucky to come across Drainbusters.

They were at my property within an hour of me calling and soon diagnosed the problem which they solved quickly and professionally at a very reasonable price.

Absolutely first class service from Bruce and the guys, even tidying up the mess I had made trying to find the manhole myself (they found the MH within minutes and yep I should have left it to these experts in the first place lol).

I wouldn�t go anywhere else and would absolutely recommend Drainbusters to anyone with a blockage in their draining system."

Unblocked bathroom sink & shower

"Called Bruce from Drain Busters at 1:30 PM to explain the issues my elderly dad was having with his bathroom sink & shower drain He said he could be there in five minutes as he wasn�t far from the address.

Bruce was there in no time and cleared the blockage within less than half an hour. He also very kindly cleaned the shower tray for my dad which was quite bad with debris/dirt due the dirt coming up through it,

Bruce kept me updated throughout.

Very happy with how helpful & professional he was, especially given my dad is elderly & housebound.

Thank you so much 😊"

Bath would not drain and when kitchen and bathroom sinks turned on the water would come up through the bath plug. Normal plunging would not shift it. Had to cut into main pipe to clear.

"Bruce was very helpful and kept in touch with me as he needed to come back to the flat. Exceptional service and would 100% recommend"

Overflow of ancient downpipe and flushing of Victorian underground clay pipe system.

"Very efficient, knowledgeable, well equipped. This was the third time that I needed his services and he was completely helpful and reliable. Again, I can't thank him enough. Worth every penny!
