"After years of calling in various gutter cleaners and other companies to see about what appear to be a blocked downpipe that was causing internal damage to the house and hoping they would have a good look and suggest ideas for the problem, they merely cleaned a bit of mud and considered the issue solved. It wasn't, the problem always return. I was hesitant to keep doing the same year after year.
Then I drove by the office of Drain Smart and felt they seemed like the company I need for the issue. I then check them out on Google and book a visit. Their approach was different. They were looking for a solution, checked the main drain on the first visit to quote. So I booked them. Ed and Jack came to do the work a few days later. Very polite young men.
They dug down to see where to flow went, if to drains or a soakaway, jet washed the main drain, which they called in another company to do, cut away the old rusty copper pipe and created a new opening for the water to flow. Hopefully better, as the where to the water flowed to was not fully established. It was left that this might work, see how it goes but a new soakaway system might be needed. I have confidence in Drain Smart that they would be back at moments notice to sort any issue. They were tidy and the ground was left looking undisturbed. I can recommend them."

“Have had confirmation from Insurer that, thanks to you .they are happy to cover my share of the repairs for which I am truly grateful. As a token of thanks I’d like to send you and your staff your favourite tipple. This is most definitely not a bribe as you have already completed the work and I have paid.”

“Thank you for the quick reaction to our drain problems at the church last week and for the speedy action which has enabled us to be ready for this week’s wedding. Everyone worked hard and efficiently and we are much impressed with your service. I would have no hesitation in recommending your services to anyone else.”
Rob Chalmers

“I just wanted to pen you a note to express my thanks for completing such a quick and efficient job at my property in Fontarabia Road last week and for making the entire process for my tenants so unobtrusive. As you are aware this had been a problem we had for number of weeks and the tenants were getting understandably increasingly frustrated with the problem, especially after we realised that the problem was from a foul pipe. After having had several drainage and plumbing contractors in to diagnose the problem Drainsmart were the only company to source the problem quickly, find a solution and fix the problem efficiently and without fuss whilst keeping me up to date on a daily basis of where we were throughout the project so thank you very much for coordinating this and please pass my thanks on to your team who were fantastic. It has been an incredibly worrying situation and at one stage I thought I would have to move my tenants out of the property so thanks very much for all your help, needless to say should I have any problems in the future I will certainly give you a call and I’d certainly recommend you to anyone should you require it.”
Marcus Newman

"Just a quick note to say how impressed we were with the professionalism of your team while they were working at our bungalow. Lee was very informative and took a lot of trouble to explain what they were doing so we fully understood what was happening. They cleared up beautifully when they were finished and as we were not here at the time, can you pass on a big thank you. We are now aware that the drain business is far more complicated than we realised! We would be extremely happy to recommend your firm to any potential customers."
Frances Wood

“Following the extensive repair work on our drainage system at Upper Grosvenor Rd, Tunbridge Wells, I would like to thank you personally and your team for the excellent work you have done. I was impressed with your professionalism, flexibility and quality of work. I also much appreciated all the paperwork and reports you have submitted on our behalf to our insurance company and loss adjusters CL (UK). I would be happy to recommend your company to my friends.”
Mrs Lewis-Grey

“We would like to take this opportunity to thank you (and Crawford) for your prompt response to our claim and for carrying out the works to such a high standard. Everything was left clean and tidy and the repairs appear to have been successful. We will, of course, let you know if we experience any further problems but thanks to your workmanship I trust that will not be necessary.”
Mr & Mrs F. Vvan Oordt

“Drainsmart were appointed by our insurer’s loss adjuster after we had encountered a flood in our cellar on New Year’s Day. From their initial very thorough and professional investigation, through to the execution of the repairs, which proved more complex and protracted than anyone had first envisaged, I have been most impressed with the performance and attitude of the Drainsmart team. As a Chartered Civil Engineer, I obviously had more than a passing interest in what was going on, and the relationship built up with the gang on site, as well as with you as Contracts Manager in the office, was a positive and very constructive one. The way in which ideas and options were put forward for possible solutions, and the speed and efficiency of the execution was exemplary. Record keeping and provision of information for future reference was dealt with as a matter of course. The quality of workmanship and attention to detail (for example the care taken when reinstating the next-door neighbour’s grass lawn) was excellent. I would have no hesitation in recommending Drainsmart.”

Price was exactly that what was quoted and they completed within the time they said was necessary. Overall very happy with the repair and level of service. Would definitely recommend to anyone buying a house/flat and needs a drainage survey or any repair work done."
