Latest Reviews and Feedback

I phoned Nigel to ask if he could unblock an external drain which was overflowing with water. Nigel arrived within 90 minutes. He quickly surveyed the issue and promptly cleared the blockage. The surrounding area was also cleaned and disinfected. Nigel is a courteous man who presents a very positive can-do attitude to his work. I'm very satisfied with Nigel's work and would 100% recommend him to others.

SK 08 24

Nigel was literally God-send today. My kitchen drain was completely blocked and I was very stressed as I have caring responsibilites. Nigel was very kind and courteous with a cheerful demeanour. He quickly diagnosed the issue and I could instantly tell he is very knowledgeable and experienced in this field. He not only efquickly and efficiently unblocked the drain but sorted the root of the issue, which was a blockage downhill in the manhole. He kept me updated on what he was doing and left the place clean and tidy. He also gave me handy tips on how to prevent blockages in the future. It is hard to find a trustworthy and knowledgeable plumber and I would highly recommend Nigel without hesitation. 10/10. Thank you Nigel.

Nigel has been incredibly responsive on a couple of occasions now, and not only visited us at the end of his Friday, but fixed the issue on first visit.

Great service from a very knowledgeable professional. Nigel was very friendly and helpful, not only very efficient in resolving the problem he also gave us some great advice for preventative measures too. Would gladly recommend his service to all.

Nigel came from Drain Man within a couple of hours of my call, sorted the problem (upstairs toilets, taps/showers etc causing the downstairs toilet to block and overflow), he cleared up what supposedly Dyno-rod 'sorted' 4 months previously.....very honest man, good price and could not fault his professionalism/work to the job we urgently needed sorting. I would have no hesitation in recommending or using again Nigel and his services, and only wish I had looked him up instead of using Dyno Rod in the 1st place!! Don't make my mistake forget the big boys 'Drain Man' are all you need.

I couldn't recommend Nigel from DMP more highly - he was both incredibly helpful and knowledgeable on the phone and in person when he came out to investigate a hidden leak from our mains supply. He quickly found the source of the leak and mended it, while also taking the time to explain the problem. His manner was friendly and cheerful, and he obviously has a wealth of experience to draw on. What a find!

LR 08 22

Nigel is absolutely amazing. He came within an hour of my phone call yesterday for a blocked sewerage drain which was overflowing into the back garden and near the back door. He inspected the drain and explained to us what was causing the problem and how he would clear it out. He was very efficient and sorted it all out. He also disinfected the whole area. A tremendously prompt and professional service. Thank you so much Nigel.

MT 08 22

I'm very happy to recommend Nigel of Drain Man Plumbing. He came within a couple of hours of my phone call for a blocked sewerage drain causing unpleasant back ups. He was able to clear the blockages (two) then camera inspect the cause, then rectify it. Very nice guy who is obviously extremely experienced. Nuff said.

On Monday 6 Dec Nigel came and surveyed my drains. He did an excellent job, explaining everything as he went. He was very professional and thorough. I have no hesitation in recommending him to any future prospective customer.

Nigel is brilliant and in our case a life saver! After my first call he with us within a couple of hours. He was professional and knowledgable. His trouble shooting was exceptional and he managed to get to the root cause of the problem - years and years of limescale build up amongst other disgusting things! Thank you Nigel, you are an excellent plumber and drainage expert. We really appreciate your responsiveness and ability to get the job done.

KM 08 21

Nigel was punctual, efficient and courteous, I would definitely recommend him, he took the trouble of explaining all to me and I wouldn’t hesitate to call him if further issues occurred.

PH 03 21

Delighted with Nigel's work. He was professional, friendly and efficient and explained everything he was doing very clearly. He not only fixed the immediate problem I had contacted him about but also used CCTV to diagnose the more serious underlying reason the drains were blocking and advised me that the cost of remedial work was probably covered by my house insurance, which was correct. His call out rate was very reasonable. Would wholeheartedly recommend Drain Man Plumbing.

CN 02 21

I'm very pleased I scrolled down and found Drain Man Plumbing. Nigel attended our blocked and (turned out) broken drain just before Christmas. He worked very hard over three days to get the situation sorted. He wasn't going to be beaten! His rates are reasonable and he explained what he was finding out as the digging progressed so we know what to expect and we are happy to recommend his services, and will definitely use him again if the need arises.

JH 01 21

Nigel was friendly, professional and punctual. He resolved my problem quickly and did some additional checks which were outside the original problem. I would thoroughly recommend him for any of your drain problems.

TM 08 20

Nigel has a wealth of experience and knowledge and very quickly came up with an ingenious way to solve a serious problem we were having with our guttering. He was prompt and did a very tidy job leaving us very happy customers. We would have no problem recommending him.

MH 07 20

Sucked out blockages without any mess and made useful recommendations regarding improving the sink plumbing.

KH 07 20

I called Nigel after a bad experience with another company (not in the Directory). He was extremely efficient, totally upfront and honest about what he was doing, he even let me watch the CCTV work. His price was fair and I would not hesitate to recommend him.

ND 05 20

When we had water pouring out from a drain cover on a Saturday morning, Nigel was with us in an hour and quickly removed the blockage. He was polite, friendly and we also got a 10% discount through the Directory. Great service, and we'd highly recommend him.

MB 01 20

Nigel is friendly, professional and knows exactly what he is doing. He diagnosed and resolved my drain issue very efficiently, neatly and as with all these kind of jobs when he had finished you could not tell he had even been. I would thoroughly recommend him for any of your drain problems.

Nigel Coultrip at Drain Man Plumbing installed a new aquacell soakaway at my property earlier this week.  Nigel was excellent to deal with.  It was evident from when Nigel first came to do the estimate, that he clearly had specialist knowledge in all drainage and plumbing matters.  I inspected all of Nigel's work, and he did a fantastic job.  All the work was done to a high standard, and the site was put back to its original status.  I would fully recommend DMP.

AJ 02 15

Nigel is a very helpful person who provided a prompt professional service. The job was performed quickly and tidily and he kept me informed of the problem. I had previously used him approximately five years ago and his call out charge is still the same. I would certainly recommend him for any drainage problems!
