Customer Reviews

What Birmingham says about us.

Verified Google reviews from homeowners, landlords, businesses and local authorities across the West Midlands.

Called Flowrite on a Sunday morning with a kitchen drain backing up. They were here within two hours, gave me a fixed price before starting and had it cleared in under 30 minutes. Polite, tidy, fairly priced.

Sarah M. Homeowner · Edgbaston

We use Flowrite for our portfolio of rental properties across south Birmingham. CCTV surveys are detailed, reports come back quickly and pricing is consistent. Genuinely the most reliable drainage firm we've worked with.

JT
James T. Letting Agent · Solihull

Needed a build over survey for a rear extension and the council required CCTV evidence. Flowrite handled the whole thing, sent the report straight to building control. Everything signed off without a hitch.

RP
Rachel P. Homeowner · Bournville

Tree roots had collapsed a section of our main drain run. Flowrite came out, did a full CCTV, relined the damaged section without digging up the driveway. Saved us thousands compared to other quotes.

DK
David K. Homeowner · Sutton Coldfield

As facilities manager I've used a lot of drainage contractors. Flowrite are the ones I now use exclusively. Their response times are excellent and the engineers actually communicate.

AC
Amanda C. Facilities Manager · Coventry

Late-night blockage with sewage backing up into the downstairs loo. Phoned and someone was on the way within the hour. Sorted it cleanly and stayed to make sure everything was draining properly. Brilliant.

How quickly can you respond to an emergency?

We aim to respond to emergency drainage call-outs across Birmingham and the West Midlands within 1–2 hours, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If you call before midday for a non-emergency, we'll almost always be with you the same day.

Do you charge a call-out fee?

No. We quote a fixed price for the job before any work starts — that's the price you pay, all-inclusive. No mystery call-out charges, no hourly creep, no "we found another thing" add-ons.

What areas of Birmingham do you cover?

The whole of Birmingham plus Solihull, Coventry, Wolverhampton, Sutton Coldfield, Bromsgrove, Redditch, Halesowen, Stourbridge, Kidderminster, Worcester, Leamington, West Bromwich and right out across the West Midlands and Worcestershire.

Can I get a CCTV survey for a house purchase?

Yes — pre-purchase CCTV drain surveys are one of our most-requested services. You'll get a full HD video inspection plus a written report with stills, accepted by solicitors, surveyors and insurers.

Do I need a build-over survey for my extension?

If your planned extension sits over or within 3 metres of a public sewer, the water authority will almost certainly require a build-over survey. Our authorised engineers carry out the CCTV survey and provide the report your local authority needs.

Do you work with local councils and businesses?

Yes — we're an approved drainage contractor for local councils and routinely service commercial premises, landlords, letting agents and facilities managers across Birmingham, alongside our domestic work.
