Trusted Kent drainage company in your area
Very good service.
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
Booked Capital Drainage to come and inspect drain that was not flowing freely. Booked them in the morning and they turned up on time the same day. The guys were very polite and obliging and managed to get to the core of the problem, then get to work on solving it. Within the hour the blockage causing the problem had been blasted away leaving the drain flowing freely once again. I would have no hesitation in using this company again, service was great.
Had new extension to back of house 18 months ago. Last couple of months we have had a rat entering extension under floor didn’t know where he was getting in, checked every where we could to no avail, contacted capital drainage Ltd who have good reviews on Checkatrade ,ask them to carry out cctv survey on our sewer drain’s. The man turned up at the agreed time, very nice fella polite and knowledgeable, within a few minutes of Inspection was able to identify an old drain that the rats were using, he didn’t need to carry out cctv survey and made no charge for the advice given. Big thank you
Quick to attend , very friendly and efficient courteous service.
Arrived on time, did an excellent clean job – very satisfied.
The chappie that came has done an excellent job and is a very nice young man.
Very good reliable and professional.
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.
Great job as usual!! Very many thanks
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.
Excellent polite and professional team from the report on our drains to the clearing of them, Harry and Josh were truly professional and was Nice to see them so thorough and leaving the area so clean afterwards. I would highly recommend this company.

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.
