9 Key Questions to Ask Before Hiring Drainage Experts
Hiring the right drainage company can make the difference between a quick fix and a recurring nightmare. Whether you’re dealing with a blocked toilet, a leaking pipe, or a major drainage collapse, knowing the right questions to ask ensures you get professional, reliable service without hidden surprises. At Drainage & Plumbing LTD, we encourage our customers to be informed, ask the right questions, and make confident decisions.
Here are 9 essential questions to ask before hiring a drainage company, along with expert insights to help guide your choice.
1. Are You Fully Licensed and Insured?
Before letting anyone touch your drains, always verify their license and insurance. Licensing confirms they’re qualified for the job, and insurance protects you if anything goes wrong.
At Drainage & Plumbing LTD, all our drainage engineers are fully trained, certified, and insured, giving you peace of mind with every service. We follow all health and safety regulations and industry standards, no matter how big or small the job.
2. Do You Provide Emergency Services?

At Drainage & Plumbing LTD, we provide a complete range of drainage and plumbing solutions:
- Unblocking toilets, sinks, showers, and drains

5. How Fast Can You Respond?
Time is critical when dealing with leaks or blocked drains. A fast response can mean the difference between minor inconvenience and major water damage.
Our promise at Drainage & Plumbing LTD is simple:
Fast response — within 60 minutes, wherever you are in South East England.
We pride ourselves on being one of the quickest and most reliable drainage companies in the region.
6. What Technology Do You Use?
Today’s best drainage companies use modern tools and technology to diagnose and resolve issues accurately. Outdated methods often mean longer jobs, higher costs, and guesswork.
We invest in the latest drain inspection cameras, high-pressure water jetters, and non-invasive leak detection equipment. These tools allow us to pinpoint the problem, fix it properly, and prevent it from returning.
This approach also means no unnecessary digging or disruption — just fast, clean, efficient results.
7. Will You Explain the Problem and the Cost Clearly?
Transparency is key when choosing a drainage company. You should always know what the problem is, what needs to be done, and how much it will cost — before the work starts.
With Drainage & Plumbing LTD, what you see is what you get:
- We explain the issue in plain English.
- We provide clear, upfront pricing.
- There are no hidden charges or surprises.
Our team believes in honest communication, and we make sure every customer understands exactly what’s going on.
8. Do You Have Positive Reviews or Proven Work?
Before hiring, check what other customers have to say. Real reviews and past projects give you insight into how the company treats its clients and handles problems.
With over 900 successful projects completed across South East England, we’re proud of our growing reputation for excellence. Many of our customers come from word-of-mouth referrals and repeat business — proof that we deliver on our promises.

We offer guaranteed satisfaction with every job — and if something goes wrong, we’ll come back and make it right. It’s part of our commitment to top-rated service, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.
