What our customers say.

Delighted with the service my parents have received. Craig was very professional and courteous, with excellent communication skills. Thank you

Terrific job done renewing our main sewer drain and replacing two manholes. A really professional service performed from start to finish. Thanks to Darrell, Jay and his son Charles, and Ben the engineer.

Alexander RJan 2026

Absolutely amazing service for my dad. Craig (I think that was his name) was so kind and friendly and sorted the blocked drains despite restricted access, dreadful weather and all kinds of tree roots blocking the drain. I don’t think the drains had been seen to for about a hundred years. Exceptional service, attended in less than an hour and was so sweet to my auntie and dad. One million percent recommended. Thank you

Thank you for such professional service yesterday from beginning to end. Calm and helpful telephonist followed by our engineer, Darren, who resolved our issue in the awful weather conditions. A great company to work with.

I have used Canford Drains several times over the years due to tree root problems in drains. I have always found them to be very professional and their staff very friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend them.

Tony MDec 2025

Excellent service! I called the number and within the hour, Gerry had turned up on my doorstep. He was very knowledgable, professional and efficient. He sorted the problem and found another one fixed that quickly too! Would highly recommend.
