Hi


I just wanted to recommend Dave from "Down the Drain" based in SE23 who sorted out a rather unpleasant problem with our drains/sewers yesterday. A very nice guy to deal with - straight forward and reasonably priced. His number is 0208 314 5244,


Regards Jonty

Another recommendation for Dave of 'Down the Drain' following work done to ours last week.

We had a nasty problem caused by the previous owners poor alteration to the drainage.

It required digging up and replacing of pipes, all done efficiently following a quick response to my initial call (he came round within a couple of hours of calling on a Saturday).

He also provided some appreciated advice on future works we plan to have done, and showed me the camera footage of the cleared drains.


0208 314 5244 / 07919 107 868


Thanks

John

Definitely recommend Dave from Down the Drain He fixed a problem in our flat, blocked sink and awful piping underneath, quickly and for less than quoted. He is also coming back to do another job for me at my office.


Great service, zero hassle - what's not to like!

I am pleased to recommend Dave too. He fixed our badly blocked drain from a central kitchen unit with no mess or fuss within 24 hours from my call using a Vax and water jet machine. Great job and a huge relief.

Another recommendation for Dave, really reliable and incredibly quick to come over to sort out our blocked toilet. I got his number from the many recommendations on here and (for once) they were deserved.

I can also recommend Dave - he and Tony fixed a broken gully pot at the back of our house. The old clay pot had probably cracked with frost and water was leaking into the soil. They excavated the pipe, checked for further damage and then repaired it with new plastic piping. Job was completed neatly and under time estimate.

I am recommending Dave again as he has come to our office and gone over and above the call of duty in trying to get to the bottom of a long long standing issue with one of the toilets.

Always very clear and informative.

Will be using gain for sure.

I just had Dave from Down the Drain round to look at my drains as I thought they smelt bad (got the recommendation from here). He came round promptly and on time and was really helpful - turned out that they werent blocked and all I needed to do was plunge the sink. Will definitely use him again.

Lovely man. Came out at a time that suited to look over an issue at no cost and then came back at another great time to investigate. Never thought watching a DVD of my drains would be so interesting! Anyway, fair pricing, honest assessment and reliable.


Recommended.

I would also like to recommend Down The Drain.

We had a simple, but annoying, blocked drain. I called the DTD team on Saturday morning. They were over in no time and quickly fixed the issue, and importantly for me, explained everything clearly so I knew what the problem was.

Would recommend to all ED ppl who have drainage problems!

Another recommendation for Dave. Our main waste pipe was broken as it went into the ground. He explained everything clearly that needed to be done and completed the work promptly and left everything tidy. Also took the time to have a look and give advice on our sink which is slow to drain. Would definitely use him again.

I would also be pleased to recommend Dave. He sorted out our blocked outdoor gully quickly and with minimal fuss. He called me when he was on his way which I really appreciated and turned up on time. Dave took the time to explain the blockage problem and I would be more than happy to call on his services again.

Joining the list here! Had Dave round today to fix my broken soil pipe that had cracked at ground level so it involved a fair amount of excavation. Finished result is great and he even upgraded our drainage to stop it blocking with leaves, very happy with his work. Great communication leading up to the job, quick and left the house as tidy as possible. Would certainly use in the future

I've called Dave out on a couple of occasions and have always found him friendly, reasonably priced and quick to sort out the problem and give me advice on how to avoid it in future (potentially doing himself out of future work!). Happy to add to the recommendations.

    • What would I do about cyclists?  The failed Tory manfesto commitment to train all kids was an excellent proposal.  Public information campaigns aimed at all road users, rather than singling some out, to more considerately share the road, as TfL have done, is welcome too. As for crunching vehicles.  I'd extend this to illegal ebikes, illegal e-scoooters (I think some local authorities have done this with the latter) but before that I would (a) legislate that the delivery companies move away from zero hours contracts to permanent employees and take responsibility for their training, vehicles and behaviour on the road.   More expensive takeaways are a price worth paying for safer roads and proper terms and conditions (b) legislate to register all illegal e-bikes and scooters so that when they are found on the road the retailer takes a hit, and clamp down on any grey markets.  If you buy an e scooter say from Halfords this comes with a disclaimer that it can only be used on private land with the owner's permission.
    • I know a lot of experts in the field and getting a franchise was a license to print money, that is why Virgin were so happy to spend lots of dosh challenging government ten years ago when they lost the West Coast franchise.  This will not be overnight, rather than when the franchise has come to the end. Government had previously taking over the operator of last resort when some TOCs screwed up. Good, at last some clear blue water between the parties.  Tories said they were going to do a halfway house, but I've not noticed.  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_British_Railways   : "On 19 October 2022, Transport Secretary Anne-Marie Trevelyan announced that the Transport Bill which would have set up GBR would not go ahead in the current parliamentary session.[15] In February 2023, Transport Secretary Mark Harper re-affirmed the government's commitment to GBR and rail reform.[16] The 2023 King's speech announced the progression of a draft Rail Reform Bill which would enable the establishment of GBR, although it has not been timetabled in the Parliamentary programme.[5] The Transport Secretary Mark Harper later told the Transport Select Committee that the legislation was unlikely to reach Royal Assent within the 2023-2024 parliamentary session.[17]"
    • Can't help thinking that regardless of whether Joe wanted to be interviewed, the 'story' that Southwark News wanted to write just got a lot less interesting with 'tyre shop replaced with ... tyre shop'! 
    • Labour are proposing to nationalise the railways, (passenger trains but not fright)  Whilst it removes them from shareholders control, and potential profit chasing, is it workable or will it end up costing tax payers more in the long run?  On paper the idea is interesting but does it also need the profitable freight arm included to help reduce fares,?
