“Fast, friendly and professional service. Responded really promptly to my email request via their website and Tudor was here the following day to clear the blocked drain. Worked quickly and clean, explained what he was doing and didn't try to get more hours out of me or charge for a service I didn’t need. One of the best trades I’ve ever used and will be using him again if needed. Thanks Tudor Carrington.” - Steve

“Absolutely fantastic service from Drain Local. So helpful and came so quickly. Definitely recommend this company” - Ann

“Excellent service, friendly, professional and efficient. Easy to make booking and agree work required. Blocked drain was cleared and fully pressure washed with cctv survey completed. Tudor did not leave until everything had been cleaned and all drain covers cleaned and replaced. Thank you for a top quaility job. Highly recommended.” - Charles

“What an amazing service, lovely chap that fixed my nightmare. I cannot recommend him enough. I live in the sticks outside of Malton and he came to within hours and all sorted. A fraction of the price of dynarod, but a million times better service.” - Carol

“We encountered a blockage in our toilet that a normal plunger and drain rod could not fix, this quickly turned nasty with toilet water overflowing into our downstairs bathroom. My wife called Tudor and he came within the hour and kept in touch with his where abouts at all times. He provided a fantastic, friendly and professional service, showed us the difficult blockage on the camera and did not stop until he removed it (it was stubborn)! Highly recommend this brilliant company. Thank you” - Ste

“I have used Drain Local to clear blocked drains on three occasions over the last six years. Their service has been excellent on each occasion. Very good response time with excellent communication, they keep you informed with regard to expected arrival time. They do an excellent job at a fair price. On the most recent visit there was an exceptionally difficult blockage to clear but after tremendous efforts they were again successful, I can't thank them enough. I highly recommend them as a 'go to' service for blocked drains.” - Darren

“Excellent 5* service! ⭐️ We had an emergency blockage and Tudor was round within the hour. Very professional, polite and friendly. Hopefully we don’t need to use these services again (in the nicest possible way). Would definitely recommend! Thanks very much! ” - Sophie
