Hello,
Just thought you guys would like to know this tenant has called up and has praised your operative’s service and how quickly you guys responded to her issue.
Thank you
It was mid-afternoon on a Friday and I had pretty low expectations of receiving any help for my elderly parents until the next day at the earliest. One call to Angela in the office explaining the situation and she had two engineers turn up in less than an hour. Both Jason and Josh were polite, friendly and thoroughly professional. They assessed the problem areas, explained what needed to be done and resolved the situation in no time at all. I would not hesitate in using Capital Drainage in the future.
Initial job was requested through Town and Country Housing. Joe/Josh arrived within 30mins. He was absolutely excellent, knew exactly what he was doing, and how to fix the issue, kept me informed at all times. He was friendly helpful and answered all my questions. Organised a further CCTV inspection as there was a possibility of a tree root causing a future blockage. Top notch service. Outstanding.
Fantastic experience! I would highly recommend. All staff were professional, polite, respectful, knowledgeable, prompt and thorough. Thank you so very much.
I wanted to thank you and your team for sorting out the drains. As you know this is has been an ongoing problem for many years and to finally have it sorted for good, and no terrible smell every time you run water with drains backing is a massive relief.
Capital Drainage were tidy professional and left no mess, you would have no idea that they had even been there. Please could you pass on once again my thanks to them.

A few things that will help put your mind at ease.
Our customers often have questions about drainage surveys. Here are some answers to the most common questions we get.
Who pays for the repairs?
The current owner may wish to either carry out the repairs prior to exchange, or you may wish to negotiate a reduction in price based on the cost of repairs.
Can you fix the faults?
With over 30 years experience we have the capability to carry out almost all drainage repairs.
Who stands to benefit from a drainage survey?
You the buyer, to give peace of mind and to prevent the additional expense of sometimes costly drainage repairs once you have moved in.
When should these surveys take place?
Any issues that are uncovered can slow down the buying process, so the drainage survey should take place as soon as possible before the exchange of contract.
How can I be sure that the drainage surveyor is NADC certified?
The NADC supplies certified surveyors with a certificate and ID card. Always ask to see these so that you can be sure that your surveyor is certified.
Who is responsible for ensuring that a drainage survey is taken?
Ultimately, repsonsibility lies with the buyer, but the building surveyor should prompt their client to have a survey completed.
