I rang Dave yesterday as there was a major problem with the drains in the house I have just bought. He came round this morning at 7.30am and cleared the drains which apparently had been blocked for years such was the build up (!). He is very professional, courteous and provided a very speedy service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him. (Peckham resident)

Another recommendation for Dave from Down The Drain. Called Dave on Monday to come and unblock our drain because it seemed to be backed up and sewage was leaking out onto the garden path ( Ugggghhh!!!) and we arranged for him to come on Tuesday. Dave was trying to find our house for at least 30 minutes and was calling me to ask for directions but my phone was on mute as I had been in a meeting and forgotten to turn it back on.


When I eventually called him back and directed him to the house where my husband was waiting, Dave took one look at it immediately informed him that even though the drain was on our properly, it was shared with next door's drainage and therefore we should call Thames Water and get them to clear it for free. My husband asked Dave to please have a look at the blockage anyway, as he was here and (luckily for us) when Dave pulled up the manhole cover the unspeakable horror that I had seen the night before had drained away and it was pretty clear so no intervention was needed. Dave just said goodbye, got back in his van and then called me to explain what had happened and let me know I had nothing to worry about.


So despite spending ages looking for us and then finding he had had a totally wasted journey, Dave cheerfully gave his advice to call Thames Water and get the drains cleaned for free, gave my husband some tips on how to keep the drains clear in general and didn't charge us a penny.


A really decent guy, lovely to deal with. As soon as I do have a plumbing/drainage problem that needs attention I will certainly be calling Dave again.

    • Another recommendation for Electrical Initiative. Leon is professional friendly efficient and an extremely reliable electrician. He sorted out my garden outside light last year and I didn't hesitate to use him to replace my noisy bathroom extractor fan which kept the bathroom cold in the winter. Leon recommended a lovely new fan which has shutters and is silent. My bathroom is warmer and I am very happy with my new extractor fan.
    • It means nothing of the sort Penguin. It simply means that wherever that TSG van was when they got a call to somewhere else, that road was the most efficient and quickest way to get from where they were to where they needed to be. Said as someone who drives frequently on blue lights in this area and has had absolutely no issues caused by any changes in road layouts. I have elsewhere, but not in this patch. 
    • You would think by now people would be more media savvy but no “it’s lead story on bbc!” Like that means anything in 2025 in what sane world would a teams be entitled to 36k for a petty oversight like this.  Absolute binfire of a reaction
