Dear Sirs,

I remember the feeling of dread as the weekends approached. The staff, on the other hand, remember the shouts of “These !*%@ing drains!” as the toilets backed up once again. We then start the sifting through the yellow pages. We had all the top boys in the field in at one time or another, and we pretty much got away with it, by the skin of our teeth, apart from a real cowboy who managed to flood the entire bar. So, it was rapidly becoming a blockage, call, clear, pay me, relationship.

I didn’t know any better, and I was sinking into the acceptance that pretty much every weekend I’d be paying out large sums of money just to stay open. Then one desperate night we stumbled across Drain Doctor. For starters they arrived in no time at all, but then it was the usual explain what’s happened, take them to the same spot that it’s cleared from, watch them as they drive the plunger into the drain. And then hear the sound of rushing water as the drain clears. And that’s when it changed “you know why that’s happening don’t you?” I was asked, “No”, and what followed was a complete break down of the problem I was having and a solution. Well the deal was done, as soon as it was possible work started and was finished when promised, also, all of this achieved at a very good price.

But I’ll tell you what really annoys me, it’s the fact that all the other companies we had in had listened to me ranting and raving about what was I going to do and how can we sort this out, no one had anything to say. I don’t know, was I being taught a valuable lesson in being led up the garden path, or is it just a case of the majority of people in this trade are flying on a wing and a prayer. You decide.

All I know is that if I ever want advice or help in these areas I’ll only ever call Drain Doctor.

Thanks again

Dear Manager,

We have just called Drain Doctor out to unblock a drain, and we want you to know how pleased we are with the service provided by Lee initially (in the rain and darkness) and then Jason Light this morning.

Both were friendly, courteous, professional, and committed to dealing with the blockage which was not easy to do, and took some time.

Both technicians did an excellent job and were a great credit to your company. We are happy to refer you to our friends at any time.

Thank you very much for solving our problem at such reasonable cost.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sir,

I would like to thank Drain Doctor Plumbing and Steve Hunt in particular for the excellent service that we received over the recent Christmas period.

We were impressed by the prompt service, the range of equipment readily available and the accurate information provided to explain the process while the problem was resolved.

All the charges were reasonable and perhaps more importantly, clearly explained and agreed in advance before each stage of the work was carried out.

This was a difficult time for us to have drainage problems and we were very grateful to Steve in particular for his positive, constructive approach and for going to considerable lengths over the holiday period to help us get a resolution to the problem.

We will definitely actively recommend Drain Doctor Plumbing to others and would use your services again ourselves should the need arise.

Yours sincerely

Dear Sirs,

Thanks for a great service. Your company was prompt, efficient and basically brilliant.

I don’t normally find myself congratulating companies but please take this as a very deserved compliment.

More to the point I have already mentioned to people I know how pleased I was with the service from the two plumbers that called, and I would have no hesitation in using your company again.

Please pass my thanks to the chaps that called!

Best wishes.

Mrs D.F,
Brentwood, Essex
Dear Sir/Madam,

I am just writing to express my immense satisfaction with the work performed by your company in my flat. I had previously had another company do some work on unblocking a drain. They were inefficient and frankly, didn’t seem to know what to do next when their actions didn’t have the desired result. Needless to say the problem was not sorted. In contrast, your men (Barry and his assistant) were very good. Within 30 minutes they had the problem solved. Be assured I will recommend your services highly.

Thank you very much.

Dear Sir,

I write to say the recent problem I had with the blocked drains was dealt with by your firm “Drain Doctor”, was of the highest professionalism, from Anne in the office who took my call, to Chris our own ‘Doctor’, who worked very hard, a very pleasant young man a credit to your company. I shall recommend you to anyone I know who has a drain problem.

Your sincerely

Dear Sir,

Main Sewage Drain Clearance.

The man of the moment is Sid! What a wonderful job he did in cleaning the drain satisfactorily – not an easy task. He also tidied up satisfactorily and left everywhere immaculate. Indeed he should be given the highest possible award. Sid is a real credit to Drain Doctor as is Lisa who attended to my concerns on the phone so efficiently and courteously.

A great big thank you.

Dear Sir,

I had reason to engage your services today as the drain at the rear of my premises had become blocked.

I have to confess that when you open the Yellow Pages, it is quite a daunting task especially when watching “the tradesmen from hell” series on television, it leaves you in a state of concern as to what is going to happen.

I must say that all my fears were put to rest when all that was going to happen was fully explained by Lee, your service engineer, he gave a very clear and precise account of possible problems and he kept me appraised of the situation throughout and to my surprise, quoted all costs to me before any work was carried out.

I would not hesitate to recommend your company to anyone in need of drain or plumbing assistance.

Once again, many thanks and please pass on my thanks to Lee.

I remain, yours sincerely.

Dear Sirs,

I write on this instance, to express my appreciation for the service provided by Drain Doctor.

We had a drain blockage and rang somewhat in desperation.

Your operator, Danny, was very professional, calmed all of us down and cleared the blockage. Such excellent service should not go unrewarded.

I would be grateful if you will pass on our thanks to Danny for a job well done.

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir,

We would like to thank you for the prompt response to our call out, and the excellent way the company attended to the problem we had last week, with the landslide in our garden, and the movement of the septic tank.

The work was carried out very efficiently in dreadful weather conditions, by a very courteous, conscientious work force.

We will be happy to recommend the company to our friends and family.

Thank you

Dear Sir or Madam,

I just thought I would let you know just how pleased we were with your service.

Martin Cotton and Phil and Brian were a real credit to your company. They all worked really hard and were cheerful and optimistic over finding the leak, which was not at all obvious.

It was a very difficult job but they were all very professional, and I would recommend them to anyone without hesitation.

A credit to your company.

Thank you

Mr & Mrs B,
Stoke-On-Trent, Staffordshire
Dear Sir,

I am writing to let you know that I am very pleased with the work that was recently carried out on my kitchen by Dan and Matt. The work involved removing an internal gully in the kitchen and building a new one on the outside of the kitchen wall and connecting everything up with the existing drain run.

Dan and Matt both worked very hard in what appeared to me to be a very difficult job. They were very efficient, courteous and took care to make sure that there was the least amount of disruption.

I would have no hesitation in recommending Drain Doctor and I would like to thank them for a job well done.

Kind regards

Mrs J.C.,
Orpington, Kent
Dear Sir,

I just wanted to let you know how happy I am with the service that I have received from your company. Having just moved in to a new property to find water dripping through the ceiling in the middle of the night was a somewhat unwelcome hassle.
David Stocks, the plumber you sent out to me was a delight. He was prompt, extremely helpful and good natured. The man on the phone (sorry didn’t catch his name) was also very obliging.

I will have no hesitation in recommending your company and will certainly use you again. Thanks once again from a very satisfied customer.

With very best wishes

Yours faithfully

Dear Sir,

Thank you very much indeed for the wonderful job you did in the granny flat at the top of our house, last Wednesday.

It was especially kind of you and Andrew to put everything back in place, especially the spare bed! I was surprised and most grateful! Had been dreading it!

Think you should be recommended to the Queen!

Many Thanks

Dear Sirs,

I am writing to let you know how impressed I was with the two workmen you sent to unblock my drain on Monday. I found them to be quick, efficient, helpful and very pleasant.

They are a credit to Drain Doctor. I would have no hesitation recommending the company.

Thank you again.

Dear All,

I must thank Danny and the three different telephone operators, who gave me so much help, Monday and Tuesday 8th and 9th Nov, when I had a water pipe burst.

With staff like these good people, how can a firm do anything else but succeed.

Highest regards

J.W.,

Dear Sirs,

Just a note to let you know how I feel about your company.

It’s good to know there are still people out there who are efficient. I thank you for this and also your staff for their courtesy.

Dear Sir,

I feel I must record my thanks to your company, for a job well done. We recently had cause to have a new water main supply pipe and, unexpectedly, a new foul drain pipe fitted to the rear of our property.

It was quite a stressful contemplation, the sight of excavating ditches etc. However, I could not have wished for two better workmen, in the form of Mr Neil Payne and Mr Stephen Berry. They tackled the job with enthusiasm and displayed experienced skill levels which was a sight for sore eyes. More importantly, they had a sense of humour and were able to make a difficult experience, more pleasant to bear.

In this day and age of “careless attitudes” it has been a “breath of fresh air” to see a job professionally carried out, with experienced people, able to make ‘light’ of what was a “heavy” job.

Thank you.

Yours faithfully

Mrs A.N.,
Farnworth, Bolton
Dear Sirs,

Just to let you know that Chris Nelson is not only the most courteous man but the most brilliant expert in the field of drains etc.

We have experienced bad water supply for 4 years since taking on our property.

After umpteen visits from various service companies and no improvement I contacted your office yesterday and had a chat with Chris who subsequently arrived at 5.30pm and within minutes had diagnosed the problem, proceeded to rectify the problem and was out after an hour.

We also need a new boiler – which I have asked Drain Doctor to quote for and install.

I shall have no hesitation in recommending your company in the future. If your company recognises STAR members of staff, I suggest Chris Nelson gets the award!.

Thanks again

D.R.,

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to congratulate you on an excellent service. Paul Richards has just completed a job for me. He was extremely competent and professional. Please pass on my thanks to him and share this letter with anyone who ought to know about his professionalism, for future reference.

In case it helps with marketing strategies – the reason I called ‘Drain Doctor’ was because of the free quote and no call out charge but mostly because of the promise of a pre-fixed price on the job. As a customer this was very reassuring. I will certainly recommend you and call you again in the future, should the need arise.

Yours sincerely

K.M.,
Sheffield
Dear Sir,

Yesterday, I had cause to telephone your office seeking assistance with a washing machine problem in an elderly relatives bungalow. Although it was not an emergency as such, it was quite a pressing problem. The person that I spoke to, was very polite and extremely helpful and promised to have a plumber call by 3.30pm that afternoon, and true to his word, a plumber, (Mr Crane), duly arrived at 3.20pm.

My wife and I, would just like to express our thanks to your staff for their response, but mainly to Mr Crane who was very friendly, helpful and above all very professional in his work. In no time at all, he had solved the problem, repaired the fault, cleaned up afterwards and presented us with what we thought was a very reasonable bill which we were more than happy to pay.

We would just like to say that your service was excellent and we would be more than pleased to use your company again should the need arise, and of course will be happy to recommend your service to our friends.

Thank you once again.

Mr & Mrs P.F.,
Kettering, Northants
Dear Sir,

Many thanks for completing the two drain repairs.

Please pass on our thanks to Ian who has obviously worked very hard, in really horrible weather and left the garden and driveway very clean and tidy. I am sure our patio flags are more evenly laid now!

With kind regards

K.W.,
Stockport, Manchester
Dear Sir,

On January 13th 2004 I found that the rising main had been leaking for some time. Your service sent me two plumbers from “Drain Doctor”.

I want you to know that these men worked long and patiently dealing with a very awkward job, they were good humoured throughout and although I told them how much I appreciated their efforts I want you to know too.

Yours sincerely

S.H.,

Dear Sir,

Re: Drain Repairs

I am writing to say that we are very satisfied with the work done and the polite and efficient manner in which Simon (and his colleague) carried out their job. Simon is a credit to your company and we would certainly recommend you, Drain Doctor, to anyone we know with drain problems.

A job well done
Thanking you

Dear Sir,

I would like to congratulate you on the first class service I received from your company this week.

From my first call I made to the lady telephonist, through to the technician who did the job, I received courtesy and a first class service and I would recommend anyone to use your services.

Yours faithfully
