South Manchester Drain Services

We had a nasty blockage of our sewer pipe that was backing up and risked flooding the cellar. Karl was there within a couple of hours of phoning him and solved the problem quickly, no fuss or bother. Great service, fair price. Much appreciated.

Fantastic service, Karl arrived right at the start of the time window he gave me and solved the drainage problem very quickly. He then thoroughly tested that my my toilet and bath were draining and flushing properly before cleaning where he had been working. I found the service given by South Manchester Drain Services to be first class.

Karl came the next day, sorted the blockage, explained everything, showed me on the camera, and charged a decent price.

Karl was great, he explained everything and offered advice before he left too. Came the same day which was fab. Would definitely recommend!

All good - wasn’t an easy job but Karl and Ryan were great with it. Would recommend

Karl and his team were the excellent. They responded very quickly to my enquiry and were out to sort the problem in no time at all. They also provided images and videos of the work done. Great service.

Karl and team were very prompt. He realised we were a family household and prioritised our needs. He gave us 2 or 3 thoughts to try before he came out. Would highly recommend

Karl was brilliant and helped us unblock our drains fast. very communicative as well. 5*

Delighted with the work done by Karl. He responded to my enquiry immediately and arranged to call the following day. Arrived on time and cleared the blocked drains. Highly recommend for any work.

Excellent experience from start to finish. Karl came exactly on time to do a CCTV survey on our drains at very short notice. He was professional, did exactly what he said he would do, and took the time to give me clear guidance. I received a great, easy-to-understand report afterward. Would definitely use them again!

Great service from Karl, came out quickly and solved the problem in no time at all. Very impressive and great value too - highly recommended.

Karl was excellent in sorting our toilet drainage issues. Would 100% recommend

Absolutely fabulous service. Problem sorted in no time at all. Explained everything and showed me the camera in the drains. I was so concerned this was going to involve digging up the patio and the boys sorted it without any fuss. Would highly recommend. Great to find a trustworthy business. Thank you.

I have recently had gutter work done from Karl and his team. From start to finish the process was made stress free. Karl explained the issue, kept me updated throughout the work and cleaned up after. He is friendly, professional and takes pride in his work. Thanks for a great service. Highly recommended.

Karl was very responsive and helpful in fixing our toilet drainage issues. He provided a professional and efficient service, and we were very pleased with the results. Definitely recommend him if you need reliable plumbing help 😊

We recently used South Manchester Drain Services and I honestly can’t recommend Karl and the team highly enough. We had an issue at our showroom in South Manchester where the toilets became blocked (turns out baby wipes were the culprit — lesson learned!). We’d already tried two other local companies with no success, so we needed someone reliable who could actually fix the problem. Karl arrived early before we opened, carried out a full inspection using a drain camera, clearly showed us the blockage, and then got straight to work. Everything was handled professionally — he even recorded the process so we could see exactly what was happening. The drains were fully cleared, tested multiple times, and left flowing perfectly. What really stood out was how transparent and thorough the service was from start to finish. We also appreciated the advice — even “flushable” or biodegradable wipes shouldn’t be used, which made complete sense given the issue we’d been having for over a week. Fast, reliable, professional and genuinely local to Brooklands / Wythenshawe — plus backed by a 24-hour guarantee. If you’re dealing with blocked drains, toilet issues, or need an emergency call-out in South Manchester, I would highly recommend South Manchester Drain Services without hesitation.

Very quick and very helpful! Resolved issue and was really informative. Thanks so much

Quick response and friendly, efficient service. Thank you

Quick response, fixed price and sorted the problem within a few hours of calling, great service

Great service and quality job. Highly recommended

I have just had the lads from South Manchester Drain Service and a I cant tell you how impressed I was with the service. They arrived quickly after I called, which was a huge relief as I had a blocked toilet drain causing a lot of stress. The team were extremely professional, friendly, and clearly knew exactly what they were doing. They explained the issue clearly, sorted it efficiently, and made sure everything was working perfectly before they left. What stood out most was how clean and tidy they left my home afterwards absolutely spotless, which I really appreciated. Reliable, fast, and professional service from start to finish. I would highly recommend them to anyone needing drain cleaning services in South Manchester. Thanks Boys

* Give a different business your time of day - they’ll appreciate it more * I don’t often leave negative reviews as I know it can tarnish a business. But this man came out to our property and made false promises of coming back the next day to do the job. We rang the next day just to check if he was still coming and he’s been declining phone calls ever since, leaving our cellar flooded with stagnant water.

Karl is a lifesaver! The drains were fixed in record time just one hour after I called. Thanks guys for the speedy service and the sparkling clean job.

Very good service from Karl, was very prompt in coming round and fixed the issue. Will use again.

Quick response very happu

👍

Needed to call out Manchester Drain services yesterday to deal with a major drain blockage. The service was excellent all round. They came out in approx 1hr and explained everything they were doing at each step. Many thanks to Sam & Carl - would definitely recommend. I've just edited my review as almost a month after call out, and after numerous calls/texts, I have still not received a receipt for payment or camera report.

Very efficient and pleasant company to deal with

Great service, quick efficient and tidy, would highly recommend 👍

Due to a blocked drain I had sewage flood all over the back yard. I rang them up at 2pm, and by 5pm the drain was unblocked and the entire backyard cleaned up and good as new. Excellent service and very quick and professional response.

First class service. Rapid response. Have used this service many times and always been very satisfied.

Prompt service at an agreed price. Talked me through the investigation, showing me the issues in the drain. Video recording of the investigation provided. Would recommend.

Came within the hour as promised, solved the problem at our end v quickly (less than an hour) and advised us to ring united utilities as he was suspicious that there was a blockage further down the shared pipe that might affect our neighbours. He was correct. The pipe had been damaged by 50 years of roots and united utilities were grateful for the heads up. They fixed it and all is well. Really appreciated Karl’s pleasant demeanour, obvious knowledge and efficiency. Highly recommend.

"Set price £132". Not told of this when i phoned.Engineer here less than 30 minutes. Well overpriced.dont get stung... I requested breakdown got none. Ripp off....quite disgusted.

100% Recommended! I'm making drain checking before buying house. I've called the company on Wednesday they came on Friday. After the job I received video footage from the site. "It does exactly what it says on the tin"

Fast, reliable company.

Rang them on Monday, turned up Tuesday. Cleared the drain, no problem. Excellent.

Number one in my choice for drain clearers.They have helped me out three times in the last two years on property that I manage. Always reliable, helpful, efficient and effective. Excellent value for money.

Super helpful and really friendly guy! Couldn't fix our issue as it turned out to be bigger than anticipated but gave us the advice to sort it and a couple of options. Spent ages trying to unlock our drain and cleaned up after himself the best he could. Great service would absolutely recommend.

Karl, Macca and team were excellent. Excellent communications and attitude. Very pleasant and down to earth I will definitely use again

We had a drain “explosion”. Not a pretty sight or smell I can tell you. Called this company because of their Google review ratings. They dropped everything and came round within the hour and sorted it. If all the local tradesmen I’ve used this was the best experience ever. In more ways than one! Thanks. Superb company.

I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Manchester Drain Services. I booked a pre-house purchase CCTV drain survey. They were prompt, polite, explained everything they were doing, and even popped on an arm length glove and cleared debris from one of the gulleys in the garden. A link to the video was immediately emailed to me.

Excellent service - professional and friendly, efficient and knowledgable

Had a blocked drain since moving in that refused to clear after trying everything. Rang Manchester drain services and Alex came round and discovered the drain was blocked with years of silt and cleared it all out and dye tested to ensure good flow. Very happy and good value for money. Highly recommend Manchester Drain Services.

The service given was fast and very efficient! Karl and the other guys went above and beyond when an issue with the management company needed sorting. MANY THANKS 😇

i have used manchester drains various times over the last 12 months on different sites. Excellant service everytime.

Booked a site visit with Karl and the team at MDS to camera a problematic drain on site. His lads turned up earlier than my allocated time slot. and got to work start away. Very professional in carrying at the work in hand. His lads showed a great level of understanding and explained the procedure to us on site and the reasons why we are experiencing the problems. Even went out his way to jet the drains for us. All areas of work left clean and tidy. a great service provided and for a very competitive rate. I Highly recommend Karl and his team.

Manchester Drain Services Ltd and Karl and the team give an excellent service, are reliable and effective. We let and manage apartments , houses and Blocks of Apartments in Greater Manchester.

I can highly recommend them because I know they won't let you down when you need them.

Came out quickly and Jet washed the drain did a tidy job all round . Would use again.

Great service. We gave them a call around 10ish and shortly after 11am the problem was sorted. Highly recommended.

Promoter arrival within the hour. Price quoted was the price I paid. Can't fault them. Drain unblocked within. An hour of being on-site. Not bad considering the blocked drain was difficult to access. I would definitely use these guys again.
