My intention here is to warn people before they engage this company. If you have a simple blocked drain or drainage issues, then this company might be the one for you. Most of their positive reviews are vague and regarding very simple jobs and provide no insight into the quality of work they produce. Their website is well written and gives a false sense of quality, with accreditations that mean very little when you find yourself in a dispute over their extremely low standard of work and their unwillingness to reach a satisfactory conclusion.

Complete nightmare . They were tasked with fixing a leak in the property next to mine, in the process of which they narrowed the communal pipes so much that my toilet and shower kept blocking. It took 18 months and thousands of pounds for them to find the fault (while they were gaslighting me into believing there was a separate issue with my own plumbing). Best of all, London Drainage eventually broke and had to replace my toilet (which was never the problem to begin with). They have yet to fix the actual fault - but I was just informed that they needed to reschedule that appointment too.

Placed trust in them and paid 2hrs upfront which they confirmed that I will be refunded if they do not spend the full 2 hours on site. They came in for 20mins and weren't able to do the job because they couldn't remove the bath panel. I was happy for them to come back to use the remaining 1hr and a half but was told I was charged the whole hour and I need to pay another hour upfront. They should have made it clear that the 1st hour is unrefundable if they are charging upfront. Their response was misleading hence couldn't trust them any longer.

Terrible after-sales service, once they have your money, they don't care.

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.
