Can’t recommend First Response Drainage highly enough. I had a problem with seepage in my garden which turned out to be from tree roots growing into my sewage pipes. They sorted out the problem replacing pipework in no time at all, and all at a price I was pleasantly surprised by. Five stars *****
Thank you very much First Response! My toilet became blocked on the day of my son’s 4th birthday party and I was so stressed! As soon as I phoned First Response impressed me with their service. Friendly, Fast, Tidy and value for money.
I had a very very blocked kitchen sink. I phoned First Response and they arrived promptly and fixed it in no time. The service was friendly and the person who came to fix was tidy and friendly.
“After a very unsatisfactory experience with another drainage company it was an absolute pleasure to deal with FirstResponse. The attending engineer ( Russ ) was extremely helpful and cleared the problem quickly and efficiently at the minimum cost. I would absolutely use this company again and recommend others to do so”
“Excellent experience. The engineer came and checked the leak found out was unrelated to drainage and only charged for the check. Didn’t try to get any extra. Really friendly and courteous. I would definitely use again if required.”
“Andy was amazing & can’t thank him enough. Very knowledgeable, cleared our blockage with his trusty jet! Happy customer.”
“Phoned Andy about coming out to look at a blocked drain and he gave us advice instead of costing us money we didn’t need to spend out, he gave us directions on who to call and was extremely helpful and friendly. Absolutely top service”
“Lewis was friendly and helpful. He provided additional advice on future drain maintenance.”
“Lewis was friendly and helpful. He provided additional advice on future drain maintenaa”The problem was unblocking a very old toilet which had a lot of scale but also the stack pipe externally had a plant/roots growing inside which was blocking the pipe. The drainage engineer Darren Poulter worked very hard to remove the plant and also flush out the scale. He also left instructions about what to do in future.”nce.”
“From initial call to having our toilet unblocked was less than 2 hours. Very impressive speed and a job well done. Will recommend and happily use again if needed.”
“The stars tell the story. Dramatic drain blockage on Saturday evening, seven people staying in house sewage coming up through manhole (lovely !!). found First Response through google. Immediate response. Within the hour at 9.45 p.m drainage specialist arrived with all equipment and drain cleared within 15 minutes. Obviously expensive as it was Saturday evening but worth every penny ( pound !!) Many thanks. Marian”
Drain Unblocking
There are many reasons that a drain can become blocked. Bathroom drains regularly become blocked due to a build up of hair within the pipes which worsens over time until, eventually, it becomes completely blocked.
Our experienced drainage engineers will not just remove the blockage for you but can also give you helpful tips and advice on avoiding the same issue from reoccurring in the future.
Drain Repair
Our experts will always try to utilise state-of-the-art methods to ensure the least possible stress and disruption to you.
Whenever feasible, we opt for drain relining using a soft lining technique that doesn’t involve excavation. This lining is inserted into the drain and solidified through a chemical process, effectively restoring the pipeline’s integrity and ensuring it becomes watertight once again.
Drain Surveys
Outdoor drains can become blocked by leaves or other garden refuse, especially following heavy rain or storms. It is not always possible to keep your garden clear of potential drain blockages so if you do find yourself with a blocked outdoor drain give First Response Drainage a call. Once the blockage has been cleared we will carry out a free of charge CCTV survey so that you can see our outstanding work for yourself. This will give you the peace of mind of knowing that the job has been completed to the highest possible standard.
Blocked Toilets
Toilets can become blocked due to foreign objects such as nappies and sanitary waste being disposed of incorrectly. Perhaps it may even be down to an inquisitive little person trying to find out what happens when they flush an entire roll of toilet paper down the toilet! The best course of action is to dispose of such items correctly in the first place, however, if the damage has already been done then you will want the problem corrected as soon as possible.
Gully Cleaning
Our tankers offer a more powerful system than regular jetting for those bigger jobs, ideal for commercial situations and self contained drainage systems like schools and parks. We can remove any type of waste quickly and in line with environmental waste legislation.
Sceptic Tanks
We offer tanker services in and around Hertfordshire, to remove waste from septic tanks / cesspits. We can remove waste and leave your cesspit clear of debris by giving it a good clean.
