Really helpful, arrived on time, explained everything that needed doing and the quote was the same price as the actual job. Brilliant.

Blocked drain
On May 31st, they came right away and did the job, which was great. However, two and a half weeks later, the drain is blocked again. When I contacted them today, they mentioned that my job notes indicated that I was informed about the need for additional work, so my 28-day guarantee is now void.
At the end of the initial job, I specifically asked if this issue had happened because of something we were doing, and the man said no. I was told we could pay an additional £400/£500 for further cleaning, but he said it wouldn't be worth it. Now, the person I spoke to on the phone is saying that on the notes it states due to the grease and grime in the line, the blockage could recur and that if they came back out, we would have to pay for the service again.
I find it highly unfair that I asked if we had caused this to happen and was told no. Also, the additional work that he said could be done wasn't worth it. However, now our guarantee is void even though we took the advice from the man who had done the job.

Quick and Efficient
Quick and efficient, arrived exactly on time, had all the tools for the job, clear pricing right from the get go - not cheap but you get what you pay for, perfectly clean pipe and place left tidy. Mark was polite and hard working, explained the issue. Would use again, thank you.

Example of a well run outfit
Drain Doctor is a company that seems to be well managed, which is refreshing in modern Britain. Their people seem well selected, well trained, well mannered, good at what they do - from the office personnel on the phone to the front line staff. Conducting a professional service - not cheap but you get what you pay for. Reliability counts in the end. Will not go anywhere else.

Blocked waste pipe
While expensive for a 10 minute job, I understand the costs involved. Jamie was very pleasant and efficient, and it's great to be able to use our kitchen sink and dishwasher again!

Great Service
Although the operator was unable to remedy the drain blockage, he was able to identify the area where the problem was and as it was off my property, contacted Welsh Water on my behalf and gave them the information required. Very helpful and I formative

Great service at honest prices highly recommend
Great reliable service and communication of issue. Drain Doctor investigated issues of blocked drains and provide report with supporting evidence to back up findings which as letting agent we find invaluable. pricing is clear and great value not overpriced. Further detailed CCTV and ground surveys when required have been detailed, informative yet clear. Great service at honest prices highly recommend.

Called for a blocked and gurgling…
UPDATED 28th of Jan.
Apparently no camera was used during the visit. We checked with them and they confirmed it hadn’t been used, so, we were charged £252 just for them to jet wash the drain and leave it still blocked. That’s awful service and extremely expensive.
Oh the good news. Customer service said if we paid another £275 then they can carry out a camera inspection. What a company.
My advise. Just call Dynarod. I’ve emailed as requested below and had no reply.
Called for a blocked and gurgling toilet. Van turned up that day, chap was pleasant enough. . Jet washed the drain (with 1000 ltrs of my water as the van was empty) then put a camera down to inspect. Told the issue was off property by at least 30 meters as his camera wouldn’t go any further. Charged £282 and still had the issue. They did report the issue to water supplier but when they turned up days later they said the blockage is on our property and it was tree roots causing the issue.
I’ve asked Drain Doctor for a copy of the video inspection they did and will then either present this to the water company or back to drain doctors to ask why I’ve been charged and still have the issue.
