George did a great job fixing our blocked drains, we’ve called him out twice now once to unblock our kitchen drain and recently to unblock the front garden rainwater pipe drain. George was kind enough... See more

Promptly assessed our drains and arranged for the necessary equipment and work to be done. Professional and effective. Very reasonable pricing compared to other companies who charged us a fortune with no resolution of the issue. Highly recommended.

It was very good experience

It was very good experience. Called on Saturday due to kitchen sink blocking. He came in and took not so long to solve the problem. Used liquid and plumber but didnt work out. Right tool and right judgement. Thanks again

Excellent service. Got in contact a few minutes after posting on Checkatrade. Easily arranged over the phone. George was really helpful! Will use again if needed.

Super fast response Honest advice

We work with a lot of plumbers over the years but George and his team was just beyond our expectations. Super fast response honest advice extremely attentive to details . I would strongly recommend Drain Unblocking 24/7 to any house hold or business for your project or any emergency services.

After midnight on a rainy Saturday

Sent a someone out to us after midnight on a rainy Saturday night. He worked for 2+ hours to unblock a drain. Up & down the steps, trying different options. Always friendly, he never gave up until he got the issue resolved. Amazing

AVOID GEORGE AND HIS COWBOYS

Would give 0 stars if I could. Does Check a Trade accept all cowboy companies now? Contacted George to unblock my drains and he outsourced some cowboys to unblock my drains using my own garden hosepipe - not a jet wash in sight. I could have done the botched job myself and actually had to finish the half-assed job the cowboys he sent round did. £145 down the drain. Avoid at all costs!!!

Hi, some jobs we attend could have been completed by the customer had they known what to do using what they have around them. Due to expertise there are jobs that could be unblocked by hand or with a hose. Had you called to say you were unhappy we would have returned as we strive to please everyone as is evident from the hundreds of positive reviews on here, Checkatrade, Trustatrader and Google.

legal case

there's a limit on what can be said due to the evidence based legal case, but something has to be said to warn others asap.

if you do not want your property damaged, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want items in your house to be damaged or broken, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you want the job(s) you paid for to be done, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to be left without a working toilet, and without water supply to several areas of your house/building, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to be repeatedly ignored by the company who did all the above damages, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to have to hire another company to first fix all the damages done for them to only then be able to do the job(s) you needed doing in the first place, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to be discriminated against, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want a company to cause you to be extremely out of pocket for no reason, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to receive an email after the fact eluding to the fact that they attempted to do work they're not qualified to do (remove and replace a toilet in order to remove what they presumed was linescale in pipework by mechanically coring and descaling said pipes with picote) do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you are ill or disabled and do not want to be taken advantage of or fleeced, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

if you do not want to employ a company who will never take an ounce of responsibility or accountability nor pay for the damages they've done, do not hire drainunblocking247.co.uk or George Michaelides, or Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to.

due to the fact that George sent the customer paranoid, unfounded, abusive emails the lawyers had to instruct drainunblocking247.co.uk and George Michaelides to not attempt to contact the customer again in any way.

all that the customer or the lawyers asked of drainunblocking247.co.uk and George Michaelides and Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to was for them to take an iota of responsibility and accountability, and to pay for the damages and works they caused. that's literally all that would have been needed. unfortunately drainunblocking247.co.uk and George Michaelides and Dan Lewis at Lewis drains Ltd who George subcontracts to neglected to ever do either and so there was no choice for the lawyers but to lodge an official legal case.

Hi, you have provided zero evidence of any burns or damaged caused within your property. We have not been paid for the pan connector or flexi hose, or for the toilet we installed or the descale carried out. There is no active court case.

You were not happy, complained so we refunded you.
