Excellent service!

I had initially booked a drain survey for what I thought was a minor issue. Kenny did a very thorough inspection of the systems, diagnosed the issue and explained the options available to remedy the situation left by the previous homeowner.

At all times, he was polite and clear. He is a real professional who knows what he is doing and keeps you in the loop of what's going on.

The work in a realistic and efficient manner. Excellent work & highly recommend!

Donald was very helpful and patient on our very blocked shower! He was able to figure out the problem and made sure that everything was running thoroughly by the end of the day. Hopefully we won’t need to see him again (because our pipes are sorted)!

Called BDS drainage for a blocked toilet because they had good reviews and the best price I found after calling around. They came out to me the same day the engineers were very polite and friendly and got the job done quickly. Definitely glad I chose this company.

BDS is a great company

BDS is a great company. Very speedy response, engineer Kenny was knowledgeable and honest, sorted the problem (blocked drain) out very quickly, was courteous, minimised any mess, and provided advice for the future before leaving. I highly recommend this company.

An emergency call out

An emergency call out. BDS dealt with a broken soil pipe. The engineer, Kenny, was brilliant. Very professional and knowledgeable. Happy to explain what was wrong and the solution. Upfront on costs. Would recommend

Drains disaster averted

Drains disaster averted

My kitchen floor was flooded plus sink and shower water wasn't running away. I assumed my soil pipe was blocked so I called in BDS Drainage, who had very good reviews on Trustpilot.

They checked out inside the pipe with their camera system and we could see that it was badly fractured around a 40 year old angled section of clay pipe and also had some cracks running along straight sections leading to the drains - all of which is set deep into the reinforced concrete base my house sits on directly under my kitchen floor. Big problem!

Kenny from BDS advised we would need to have the straight run of pipe re-lined, which he could access from the manhole in my back yard, but the angled section of clay pipe would need to be dug out before it completely collapsed and blocked up permanently.

Kitchen units and floor tiles above it's location were cleared away and Kenny's team then spent several very tough hours drilling down through the concrete base with it's steel bar reinforcing. A noisy and messy job, but they were professional throughout, finally accessing the problem area and very neatly replacing the damaged pipe section. In the end the repair was simple - getting to it had been the challenge. Pipe re-lining was completed straight afterwards, which was much simpler.

All is working perfectly again now and their work has a 10 year guarantee. They also offered to come back once a year to flush the system through to avoid any scaling in the future.

They did a great job, were as respectful to my property as they could be on such a messy project and were very fairly priced for what turned out to be a couple of days of really hard work.

Fantastic 5 Star service from start to finish!
I initially telephoned and spoke to Bethanie in the office.
She was so efficient and understanding as I required a very quick report.
I was booked in for the next day.
The inspector, Scott, was professional, knowledgeable, and arrived right on time.
He clearly explained the entire process,
I was incredibly impressed with the septic tank inspection service provided.
The very next day I received the full report! Absolutely brilliant!
I highly recommend this company, the staff and their services.

Efficient company

Arrived when said they would, job done asap.
We didn’t got it right in the first place (we are French it is easily done for us) just a little missed information about the hourly rate which was 1/2hourly rate but all cleared as soon as Kenny arrived. Job was after office hours emergency so we were not that surprised after clarification (we were surprised how cheap we thought it was going to be when we were expecting it for 1h for sure). All good

Fantastic job on our basement

We had issues with damp and flooding in our basement, so we decided to go ahead with basement taking with BDS. They was great from start to finish, everything was explained to us clearly and we felt very confident with them sorting this for us. We was not disappointed.
The team showed up on time, worked hard throughout the day, now our basement is bone dry and was thoroughly deep cleaned. It’s made such a difference!
Can’t thank them enough for there help at this time.
Really happy with the results - would highly recommend!

Great Job

I had some serious drainage issues in my garden and called BDS to check it out. They were super friendly, showed up on time, and explained everything in a way that made sense to me.
The boys worked quickly and cleaned up after themselves, which I really appreciated.
It’s been raining a few times since the job was done, no more puddles or flooding - such a relief!

5 Stars – Excellent Drainage Service

5 Stars – Excellent Drainage Service!

I recently hired BDS Drainage to resolve a long-standing drainage issue on my property, and I couldn’t be more impressed. From the initial inspection to the final cleanup, the team was professional, efficient, and knowledgeable. They quickly diagnosed the problem and provided a clear, honest quote.

The work was completed on time and with great attention to detail. The drainage system they installed works perfectly — no more standing water or soggy spots in the yard. They even took the time to explain how the system functions and gave tips for ongoing maintenance.

Highly recommended for anyone dealing with drainage problems. It’s such a relief to have it fixed right the first time!

OVERCHARGED BY 400%

HAD AN EMERGENCY FLOOD ON 3 FLOORS SO WAS FRANTIC. CALLED OUT BDS WHO CAME THE NEXT DAY (MONDAY) AND CHARGED ME £420 FOR AN EXPANSION TANK THAT COSTS LESS THAN £100 - I HAD THIS VERIFIED FROM A VERIFIED HEATING ENGINEER. WHEN CHALLENGED, THEY QUOTED PETROL COSTS TO COLLECT TANK AS THE REASON FOR THE 400% INFLATION CHARGE. HORRENDOUS - COMPLETE CROOKS WHO TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME AND MY SITUATION.
