What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Industrial clients, NHS maintenance teams and private homeowners all feature among the accounts left for Diamond Drilling Services SW, and the pattern across them is consistent. Enquiries are answered without delay, with cores often cut within days of the first call, and one contract manager recalled the team attending a site inside a working factory within twenty-four hours of being contacted. Reviewers frequently mention the ability to drill through unusually thick walls, from dense granite to the fabric of a listed property, working to supplied drawings and permissions.

The finish is repeatedly described as accurate and efficient, with dust controlled and work areas left clean. Naming Josh and Scott, customers highlight a courteous and straightforward manner, and one engineer is said to have reassembled his kit cheerfully when a client requested a further core after everything had been packed away. Punctuality, clear communication throughout a job and a well-equipped, knowledgeable approach to awkward domestic and industrial settings are points that come up often, alongside the impression that no request was treated as too much trouble.

This company made short work of two cores through 1/2m thick granite walls, they were professional and straightforward to deal with, tidy and friendly. Highly recommend!

Fantastic service! Quick and reliable. We had attempted drilling 2 holes in a reinforced wall ourselves and got nowhere fast. The team at Diamond Drilling Services SW came out within 2 days of us placing an enquiry and had the holes drilled for us within hours. Quick, clean, and very professional. Will be using again without hesitation, 100% recommended!

Diamond Drilling were brilliant. From initial booking to the drilling through the very thick wall of a Grade I listed building, following given plans and relevant permission. Quick, efficient, clean and polite. Would highly recommend.

Scott and his team did a great job for us on a site in Plymouth recently. It was a new client and we had to work inside an active factory and make sure there was no mess or disruption. I was really impressed with the standard of work DDS carried out - nothing was too much. Even after packing everything away and the client deciding they wanted another hole cored, the engineer set everything back up in good spirits and took his time to make sure it was clean and tidy at the end. Highly recommended and wouldn't hesitate to use again.
