Amazing service

Worked really hard to fix it quickly
(Reviewed November 2023)

Our fixed rainwater pipe was blocked causing excess water overflowing from the water butt. Darren was able to provide a great solution by fitting a new gulley and pipe to our soak away inspection pit. The service we had from our initial call to a very friendly and pleasant Romy, Darren’s knowledgeable advice and to the prompt service of the work carried out was second to none. We will certainly use this company again if need be and recommend to our friends and neighbours. (Reviewed September 2023)

We had a problem with our surface water entering a neighbours garage, and ultimately flooding her garden. This was a huge worry for us and the neighbour. I contacted DPDS, and very quickly a site visit was carried out. The problem was identified, and a quote for the necessary work provided that same day. I accepted the very fair quote, and the work was completed within two weeks! I was kept constantly updated, and at the end of each day I was emailed a set of photos of the progress. Particularly useful as I couldn't be there in person, and they are useful to keep too. The work is of a high standard, carried out by a company who care, and the site, a back garden, was left neat and tidy. Brilliant job. Thank you. (Reviewed September 2023)

Absolutely superb service from start to finish removing our old Victorian interceptor trap that kept blocking. After filling out the web site enquiry form I had a call back within 20 minutes from Romy and after sending some site photos, I had a quote within a couple of hours. Excellent communication throughout the process and very reassuring clearly explaining what happens. Work was done quickly and efficiently within a few hours just using hand tools, and the area was left clean and tidy. Process was topped off with a CCTV survey to check everything. Very competitively priced and they were willing to travel from Dorset to Reading in Berkshire. I hope my rodding poles never see the light of day again but I just wish I had had this work done years ago. Really cannot recommend this company highly enough. (Reviewed June 2023)

We arranged a drain survey on a property we are buying. It was very easy to book an appointment and we were informed of the outcome a few hours after the survey. It was a detailed report with pictures highlighting the problems. The company has excellent customer service and we have no hesitation in using them for the repairs. (Reviewed June 2023)

The standard of work and customer service was outstanding. Darren and Jay worked really hard installing the drainage system in my garden. They were extremely neat and tidy and left my garden looking like nothing had happened despite two deep ditches being dug and a chamber being installed. They were extremely polite, courteous, knowledgeable, enthusiastic and hard working. Romy kept my family informed on progress sending out a report and photographs every day. The level of customer service from the whole team was really outstanding and I would not hesitate in recommending DPDS to anyone. (Reviewed May 2023)

Friendly service from the moment I called, explaining exactly what they would do and why to solve a persistent interceptor drainage problem. Then the work was carried out as soon as I asked and completed with no fuss. The bonus? at a price less than half of what other companies quoted me. (Reviewed May 2023)

They are brilliant! I sent them a query, via their website, for the replacement of 3 manhole covers, and within 2 hours they responded via email, and then phoned me. They quoted me over the phone and booked a day in to do the work. When they came to do the work they were extremely professional, courteous, and very tidy. the work was immaculate. I found them utterly brilliant - efficient at every point of contact, and I just can't praise them highly enough. I have used many tradesman, as I have restoring a house and they are by far the best. You are in safe hands with them. (Reviewed February 2023)

From my initial enquiry to the completion of the work I couldn't praise DPDS more highly for their professionalism.
The job was mainly to replace the original heavy manhole covers with lighter ones, but on opening the drains Darren quickly discovered on rodding the drainage system that the pipes were almost blocked in several places with the build up of fibrous roots of our many oak trees. With ingenuity and unfailing good humour the job was completed to a very high standard.
I would also like to mention Romy who dealt with our enquiry in a very efficient and pleasant manner. (Reviewed January 2023)

I called them up to replace a faulty gully and the service has been amazing from start to finish! Romy was polite and professional on the phone, and Darren did a fantastic job too!

Excellent service. The problem was dealt with very quickly, coming to our property the day after we contacted them. The blocked drain was cleared very quickly and I was able to see everything via the CCTV camera both before and after the work was done. Highly recommended! (Reviewed April 2022)

Work was completed as promised. Darren is a very hard worker who knew exactly how to solve our problem of a flooding patio which was causing deterioration of a retaining wall and threatening to rise above the damp proof course. He did exactly what he said he would in a timely and tidy manner, ably supported by Romy’s efficient administration and customer service skills. I can understand why this company is one of the few to be listed on the Trading Standards site. Will definitely use again should I have any drainage problems in the future. (Reviewed April 2022)

Absolutely fantastic service start to finish. Highly recommend to anybody looking for a quick survey pre-purchase. (Reviewed April 2022)

We contacted Dorset Water Services to install a new water main after being let down by other contractors. Darren and Jay turned up on time, worked quickly and left the site tidy after the job was completed. In addition, they identified a drainage problem with a gutter downpipe discharging directly into the ground, and resolved it by resiting the downpipe and installing a new hopper connected to the main drainage at no extra cost. Excellent service from a friendly and professional company, I would use them again and recommend them without hesitation. (Reviewed February 2022)

From estimate to completion of the work was a quick and very impressive service.
The work involved the removal of an old drain interceptor, repairs to the inspection chamber and the fitting of a new manhole cover and frame. This was all carried out in a quick and very professional manner.

Absolutely fantastic service!
Dorset Property and Drainage Solutions came highly recommended by a family member and did not disappoint in any way. When telephoned, Mrs Green was friendly, knowledgeable and reassuring concerning a drainage issue that may have proved difficult and expensive to resolve. After our initial conversation on Tuesday afternoon, the investigation and clearance was undertaken straight away and I received the report and invoice at 8.10 am the following morning. I was extremely grateful for their prompt attention and am confident in their assessment and resolution of the problem.
With such professional and efficient service, I will certainly use them again and have no hesitation in recommending Dorset Property and Drainage Solutions to others. (Reviewed November 2021)

We liked being able to talk someone immediately, who gave us very personable service. We liked that DPDS negotiated with the property owner to agree a specific time slot at short notice. We liked that they took initiative to do essential extra (drain clearance) work and so avoided having to make a return visit, when access arrangements could have been more difficult. (Reviewed November 2021)

Darren was prompt to attend to look at work required. He was informative about what needed to be done and gave a quote on the spot. This was emailed through very promptly by Romy in the office. Very friendly but professional service. Darren and his colleague arrived promptly at the agreed time and date. Work was completely quickly and everything was left neat and tidy. Would definitely recommend. (Reviewed October 2021)

Responded immediately to enquiry on the website with a competitive quote and were here the next morning before 8am. They did a great job replacing an old broken cast iron manhole cover with a nice new plastic one, leaving the place clean and tidy.

A recent spell of prolonged heavy rain resulted in much of the large gravelled frontage to our bungalow becoming flooded. I found DPDS by chance when Googling for a local firm who could advise me on options and install the preferred solution quickly.

Arrangements were made for a site visit the next morning and a very fair quote was emailed to me the following day. Within days of accepting the quote Darren and Jay made a 'crack of dawn' start on the work that needed doing and arrived equally early on the 2nd day to finish the work.

I have no hesitation in recommending DPDS. Communication with the office by phone and email was excellent, Darren and Jay worked exceptionally hard throughout and left the site looking as if nothing had been disturbed. A fantastic job at a very fair price A+++ (Reviewed October 2020)

Early last year Darren Green of Dorset Property & Drainage Solutions replaced our failed front soakaway, doing a brilliant job and leaving garden very neat and tidy without any sign of the excavation. Last month our rear soakaway failed and a significant amount of flood water from neighbouring gardens exacerbated the situation. He suggested drainage be installed below the rear garden which he completed despite heavy rainfall and further flooding whilst he was working. Again the area returned to pristine, virtually unmarked lawn. Highly recommended. (Reviewed March 2020)
