Highlights
"Had the men to come out to unblock our drain as had serious problems with toilet and bathroom. After they had finished the job showed me on the camera where the problem was and how clean the pipes are now. They are very polite and helpful, and give you the information on what can cause this over the years so thank you and I would highly recommend this company."
"Prompt response from Better Drains. Alex carried out the works professionally and to a high standard and provided great customer service"
"I just needed a quick check that the drains were connected correctly and to get an idea where the drains were situated. All carried out in a friendly and professional manner by Lee."

Smart checks
Before you hire a plumber
Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top — in writing — before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced — get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade — not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
Check any verified credentials, and that the business details independently check out.
