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.

Thanks

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 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.

Another shout out for Dave and Down the Drain - he saved me a lot of work and bother this morning clearing a blocked drain. He arrived when promised and sorted the problem in five minutes. Recommended. http://down-the-drain.co.uk/
And another! Dave came out during the xmas break to sort a leaking pipe in my Mum's kitchen, cleared up all the water and mess and made some excellent suggestions about replacement taps for older people too! He's a star. down-the-drain.co.uk

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.

    • Did you try the emergency number posted above? It mentions lift breakdowns over the festive period outside the advertises times. Hope you got it sorted x
    • People working in shops should not be "attempting to do the bill in their head." Nor if questioned should they be  trying to "get to an agreeable number." They should be actually (not trying to) getting to the correct number. I'm afraid in many cases it is clearly more than incorrect arithmetic. One New Year's Eve in a restaurant (not in East Dulwich but quite near it) two of us were charged for thirty poppadoms. We were quite merry when the bill came, but not so merry as to not notice something amiss. Unfortunately we have had similar things happen in a well established East Dulwich restaurant we no longer use. There is also a shop in East Dulwich which is open late at night. It used not to display prices on its goods (that may have changed). On querying the bill, we several times found a mistake had been made. Once we were charged twice for the same goods. There is a limit to how many times you can accept a "mistake".  There is also a limit to how many times you can accept the "friendly" sweet talking after it.

    • My memory, admittedly not very reliable these days, places the shop on the block on the left hand side just before Burgess Park going towards Camberwell. Have also found a reference to Franklins Antiques being located at 157 Camberwell Road which is on that block. This is a screen shot obtained from Google maps of that address which accords with my memory except the entrance door was on the right hand side, where the grey door is, rather than in the centre.
