LUVED Posted January 13, 2015 Share Posted January 13, 2015 I called Dave from Down the Drain on Monday with a blocked kitchen outflow pipe after recommendations on here and also a plumber. Came this morning at 7.30 and had it fixed within 15 minutes with no bother, fuss or mess.Very polite and professional gentleman who I wouldn't hesitate to recommend if you are unfortunate enough to have blocked pipes/drains.

Amoralia Posted May 11, 2016 Share Posted May 11, 2016 Don't bother with drainclear- NOT impressed, I booked an appointment between 1-2pm, it's now 3.30 and they haven't showed up, even though I've called and asked to be notified. Poor. Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/20962-blocked-drains/page/2/#findComment-996352 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisandz Posted May 21, 2016 Share Posted May 21, 2016 There are a lot of diy methods for unclogging drains. The easiest method is to just flush the drain with boiling water. What I normally use is a mixture of salt and baking soda.Take about ? cup of salt and then about ? cup of baking soda and then pour it down the blocked drain. You could use baking soda and vinegar or even bleach. Here?s a blog that mentions some safe chemical free diy methods to unblock your drains(http://www.brothersplumbing.ca/blog/unclog-drain/6-ways-unclog-drain/).

tmcoleman Posted November 11, 2016 Share Posted November 11, 2016 Big recommendation for Dave Down the Drain. He came to us quickly when we had an emergency sewage drain problem and fitted us in around existing booked work because he saw what a bad (and emotional!) state we were in. He was very knowledgeable and just an all round great guy. So grateful to him for helping us out and getting it sorted. He's the sort of guy who goes the extra mile for his customers. Thank you!

SusanLMBrown Posted December 19, 2016 Share Posted December 19, 2016 I too recommend Dave from Down the Drain. We tried everything ourselves first, before calling Down the Drain. Dave came first thing the next day and swiftly sorted out our blocked sinks. A very thorough and informative person whose rates are good too. Great to have someone you can trust coming to do a job that's not often needed.

CatfordBorders Posted January 4, 2017 Share Posted January 4, 2017 I called Dave from Down the Drain yesterday on the back of this thread, for a drain that was flooding out onto our patio. Dave clearly set out his rates, which were very reasonable, over the phone, and was round in about an hour. He unblocked the drain very quickly and checked everything was working properly, and even checked further down the drain to make sure it wasn't cracked with the cold weather. First class job, and a friendly chap too, so I would definitely recommend him and would use him again without hesitation.His number is 020 8314 5244.

Cat_J Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Dave from Down the Drain came this morning to look at our drains. Living in an old converted flat with shared pipes, we were fearing the worst. Dave cleared them all in 10-15mins. Very efficient, professional and helpful. Throughly recommended.

SimonandRachel Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 Phoned Dave from Down the Drain on Tuesday evening; asked for him to come at 07:30 on Wednesday - by 07:45 the blockage was clear and he was back at 07:30 on Thursday to do a permanent repair to the very dodgy antique plumbing that had caused the problem. Friendly, efficient, and done for less than the call out charge of some of the bigger firms. All in all - excellent service!
