MG Drainage Ltd was first registered in 2000 but we have been trading as a drainage specialist since 1991. The growth of our company has been closely monitored ensuring that the personal aspect and standards of our business are maintained, whilst still being able to service the needs of all of our customers.
My name is Mick Grant and I am the Director of MG Drainage Limited. I have a plumbing background which began with an apprenticeship with 'Economic Plumbing' starting in 1984. Economic Plumbing was a London based property maintenance company and at the time was one of the first, and largest, companies to offer this service.
My tasks were basically as a plumbers mate mainly involving jobbing work all over Central London. This covered all aspects of plumbing, including original skills of the trade that now no longer exist. I completed three years at Willesden College of Technology and obtained my City and Guilds qualifications in advanced plumbing, sanitation and heating.

Services
We can clean pipework ranging from 35mm to 300mm, using water jetting techniques, hand held mechanical springs for smaller diameters and large mechanical milling machines for the larger as each situation dictates. We use Picote milling machines which have been introduced and developed over the last few years to fill a requirement to enable effective cleaning without the use of water and pressure.
Our surveyors are OS19x trained, which is the recognised standard for this type of work. Our surveys are carried out using WRc approved codes and on completion we provide the footage via a link, diagram and full written report to include a summary of works completed and recommendations based on the findings.
We provide an emptying and waste disposal service, using several companies that we have a good working relationship with. This lends us to be able to offer joint expertise in liquid waste disposal removing sewage and hazardous waste. We have a rapid response time for emergencies. We work in conjunction with the tanker services to ensure requirements are met.
Graffiti has always been a particular problem and will continue to be a concern. In particular rude or offensive markings will get our immediate attention. It's best removed as soon as possible to prevent the paint from soaking into the material it has been applied to, particularly stone and porous surfaces.
We can jet wash and clean brickwork from stone fascias to patios, drives or shop fronts and canopies using hot or cold water jetting and appropriate chemicals if required. Jet washing to external floor tiles, concrete imprinted, paving slabs or crazy paved drives, tarmac and asphalt surfaces. Even wooden decked areas can be cleaned.

From start to finish I found the team at MG pleasant, professional and a pleasure to deal with. They were reliable, punctual, did work to a high standard, worked to the agreed price (even when some elements of the job ended up being harder than expected) and the admin staff were diligent and always on top of things.
Would happily recommend.

I've never encountered blocked drains before and i have to say MG Drainage made it a pain free exercise. It took them no time at all to assess the problem, clear it and even clean up the mess. I would highly recommend their professionalism and customer care. This is a company that can be relied upon to get the job done at sensible costs.

Brilliant!
I’m so happy I found this company. I’ve been plagued by an intolerable bad smell in a bedroom for a couple of years.
They were really patient at listening to my problem, made suggestions of how to investigate, looked at photos I emailed and sent someone who had a lot of experience of dealing with bizarre smells. He identified it immediately, checked the stack and then located the problem in the manhole in the back garden. He & his colleague worked very quickly to dig out and dispose of mud that had been burrowed by rodents and cemented off an unused pipe that was the gateway to

Very disappointing service. Their report was basically just what I had already told them before they came, that there was some kind of uncapped drain or access chamber under my extension. They could see the branch from the main drain line, but couldn't survey it because it bends backwards, and wouldn't so much as take off the bath panel to see if they could go in that way. £370 plus vat to be told what I already knew with no recommendations at all, plus a completely wasted afternoon. They did drop the price to £250 plus vat when I complained, but that is still unacceptable. The two very young

This has been a nightmare. Rats under the floor boards and one in the house. Matt came out on a Sunday to the complete wreck of me and my mum who have a total phobia about these disgusting creatures. Matt brought his jack Russel who chased it under the fireplace
We killed it. Then he put a rat blocker on one of the drains accesses and with the camera identified a redundant drain that they were going through. He and Harry got in the manhole sleeved it. If you have drainage problems call Matt from MG I cannot rate them highly enough. They were brilliant. 5 days on there are no signs ( fingers crossed

MG drainage came out twice but neither time was the issue fixed.
After the first visit the blockage returned the next day. I overhead two of their men saying "it's not fixed, it will come back." When they thought they were out of earshot. MG drainage agreed to waive this visit.
Second visit was better, more professional but the issue still came back. I paid this invoice and decided to go elsewhere.
Then 4 months later they contacted me demanding payment for the invoice they didn't send and had agreed to cancel. I would not use this company again. they didn't fix my drain and then demanded payment
