How our engineer vetting works
We don't list every trade who fills in a web form. Every engineer in the Drains Cleared network passes a multi-stage verification process before they're dispatched to a customer's home.
- 01 Application and document review Engineers submit qualifications, insurance certificates and trade registration numbers. We verify each document against the issuing body.
- 02 Live database checks Gas Safe registration is checked directly against the Gas Safe Register. NADC and other trade body memberships are verified at source.
- 03 Insurance verification Minimum £2m public liability insurance confirmed. Employers liability checked where engineers operate as a team.
- 04 Trial job and quality review Engineers complete an initial paid job. Customer feedback and job completion standard are reviewed by our quality team before full onboarding.
What every engineer arrives with
Fully equipped, fully insured — ready to diagnose and fix on the first visit.
-
High-pressure jetter
3,500–4,000 psi water jetting on drainage vans. Clears grease, scale, silt and root intrusions without excavation.
-
CCTV camera system
Push-rod HD camera with live monitor and WinCan report software. Every drainage van equipped as standard.
-
Leak detection equipment
Acoustic correlators and thermal imaging cameras for non-invasive leak pinpointing on plumbing vans.
-
Full trade toolkit
Common parts and materials stocked on each van to minimise same-day return visits for straightforward repairs.
Why use a Drains Cleared engineer?
Independent trade directories list anyone who pays to advertise. Drains Cleared lists only engineers who have passed our verification process and whose work meets our quality standards.
- Local expertise Engineers who know your area's pipe stock, soil conditions and water-company boundaries — not a call centre dispatching the nearest warm body.
- Fixed prices You receive a fixed price before work starts. There are no surprise call-out fees or hourly rate inflation once an engineer is on your property.
- 12-month guarantee All labour is guaranteed for 12 months. If a fault we fixed recurs, we return and put it right at no charge.
- Covered and insured Every engineer carries minimum £2m public liability insurance. You're covered for the duration of the work.
How booking a local engineer works
Three steps from request to engineer on-site.
- 01
Request a quote
Fill out the form or call us. Tell us your postcode, the type of job and when you'd like the engineer to attend.
- 02
We dispatch a local engineer
Our system matches a verified, insured engineer to your job type and location. You receive their name and ETA.
- 03
Job done, guaranteed
The engineer attends, diagnoses and completes the work. You receive a written receipt and 12-month guarantee.
Attending your property
Our engineers arrive in marked vehicles wearing company workwear. Before carrying out any work, they present identification, confirm the fixed price quoted at dispatch and explain what they intend to do.
If additional work is required beyond the original scope — a CCTV survey reveals a collapse, or a leak traces back to a second pipe — the engineer provides a written quote for the additional work before proceeding. You are never committed to work you haven't approved.
On completion, you receive a written job sheet confirming work done, materials fitted and the start date of your 12-month guarantee.
