BDS drains have attended my Mum's property a couple of times now, once for blocked drains and once as a follow up to descale the pipes and survey them. On both occasions it was Kenny and Craig, who... See more

We used DBS Drainage to unclog our sink. It was a very simple job, but the bill came to ~500£ for what was essentially a 15 min job. They took a long time for inspection, then took time to go... See more

Unreliable and perhaps dodgy business…

Unreliable and perhaps dodgy business practices? Hard to know at this point but it's looking that way. Job done to an ok standard in October 2019 (costing over 4k), but had problems a few weeks later. Communicated this right away multiple times to multiple people. Has taken MONTHS to get someone back on my property to investigate, even before lockdown. Since lockdown ended in June I still cannot get BDS to actually schedule someone to come take a look. Promises made, nothing delivered. Happy to change this review if they ever return to do what should have been fixed in November 2019.

P.S. that BDS finally responded to my review in April 2021 (9 months after I posted this in November 2020) speaks volumes of their customer service. Avoid them.

Excellent honest service

As a private landlord, who was out of the country when my tenant reported an emergency bad leak resulting in our kitchen ceiling falling in, BDS were brilliant at responding quickly and effectively. The problem was rectified very honestly with great feedback throughout so we could make choices whilst not being able to attend. The plumber demonstrated empathy towards our situation and was very tolerant of a demanding tenant. The office staff were brilliant to deal with. Overall a great experience and we will definitely use BDS again and recommend to others .

Very impressed

I had a blocked drain my first time with this sort of problem I found BDS drainage and can not fault them in anyway. Attend on time and resolved my issue within 1hour of the arrival keeping my updated regularly with the works they were completing and why. Very impressed

Great service

Great service. I had an emergency blockage in my drain. I called up BDS and they sent someone round within 45 minutes. They charge £75 for 30 minutes plus £45 for equipment. This concerned me as I had no idea how long the job was going to take and didn’t want to get stung with a hefty bill, but they worked very efficiently and managed to complete the work within 30 mins. They also give you a 100 day guarantee but hopefully I won’t need to call them back. Would highly recommend to friends and neighbours.

Jay came to our property really fast…

Jay came to our property really fast (06/08) to fix a leaking garden drain. He was extremely polite upon arrival and did a very thorough job at draining, cleaning and de-scaling the buildup. He was kind enough to also clean the affected areas afterwards with strong chemical so that we wouldn’t have to. If I have further issues, I will be sure to contact them again.
