Overview
Dyno-Rod East Anglia has been part of the local drainage industry for more than 50 years. Founded by Peter and Hazel Bowyer in 1974 after relocating from London. The business began as a two person operation, with Hazel answering the phones while Peter carried out the work. From those modest beginnings, including a first week’s turnover of just £11, the company has grown into a trusted regional drainage specialist.
Today, the business is run by Peter and Hazel's sons, Daniel and Richard Bowyer, who continue to build on the values, expertise and customer-focused approach established by their parents. We employ 40 members of staff and provide a full range of drainage services across East Anglia, including unblocking drains in Norwich, drain lining in Ipswich and root cutting in Great Yarmouth. As a leading drains company in the region, we continue to invest in staff training, health and safety, modern equipment and the latest techniques, ensuring our customers receive a reliable, professional service from a highly trained and motivated team.
Our long-standing reputation is also reflected in our work for the Royal Household, which we have supported since 1976. In 2007, we were proud to be awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty The Queen, making us the only drainage company recognised ‘By Royal Appointment’. We have retained the Royal Warrant during the reign of His Majesty King Charles III, continuing this distinguished recognition under the new monarch.
We are equally proud of our connection to the local community. Over the past five decades, we have built strong relationships across Norfolk and East Anglia and continue to support local causes, including Norwich United Football Club and The Seed Cooperative.

About us
We began as just a two-person enterprise, with Hazel answering the phones and Peter out doing the work. Despite humble beginnings - the first week's turnover was only 11! - the company began to grow. We now employ 40 staff and offer a full range of services, from handling blocked drains in Norwich, drain lining in Ipswich to root cutting in Great Yarmouth. As a leading drains company in East Anglia, we strongly believe in continued investment in training, health and safety and using the latest equipment and techniques. Our workforce is highly trained and motivated, in fact, their enthusiasm for the job is such that they often can't wait to tell us about the jobs they've completed. We've been supplying services to the Royal Household since 1976. In 2007 we were very proud to be awarded a Royal Warrant by Her Majesty the Queen. We are the only drainage company that is 'By Royal Appointment'! Our engineers have even met the Queen at Sandringham. We'd been called out to help with a problem and as we were working on the job, a lady drove up in a Land Rover and took an interest. It was only when she left that we realised who it was! Since we started the company almost 45 years ago, we've been actively involved in the local community. We're very proud of the reputation we've built up via our business, and we also take our community responsibilities seriously. We're currently the proud sponsors of Norwich United Football Club and Brooke Cricket Club, and work with the East Anglian Children's Hospice (EACH), who do fantastic work. We also helped to buy projection equipment for the Poringland Community Cinema, an exciting village project which screens films and is run by volunteers.

Stay updated with our newest announcements, insights, and team culture on social media.
We are extremely proud of our partnership with the Norfolk Community Foundation. In 2025, we established the SEED Cooperative, bringing together 25 Norfolk-based businesses, each committed to contributing £500 per month for three years to support five small, independently run charities across Norfolk.
The initiative was created to provide these charities with a reliable and predictable income stream, enabling them to plan with greater confidence and deliver long-term benefits to the communities they serve.
In 2026, we also partnered with the Canal & River Trust, supporting its work to care for and preserve over 2,000 miles of canals and rivers for the benefit of local communities, wildlife, and future generations.
We are the proud sponsors of Norwich United FC, who are a FA accredited grass roots youth football club based in Blofield, Norfolk. The teams run from Under 6 to under 18s.
These are the 5 charities that were selected for the 3 year programme :
Home-Start Norfolk - dedicated to supporting families with children under five across Norfolk. They recruit and train volunteers—often parents themselves—to provide informal, friendly, and confidential support through home visits. These volunteers offer practical assistance and emotional encouragement to parents facing challenges such as health issues, postnatal depression, or multiple young children. By fostering a supportive environment, Home-Start Norfolk aims to ensure that every child has the best possible start in life. - https://homestartnorfolk.org/
Field of Joy - is a social smallholding located in Reepham. Dedicated to enhancing well-being and reducing isolation among adults and children. Through nature-based activities, participants can nurture animals, cultivate gardens, and connect with nature, fostering friendships and improving physical and mental health. https://www.fieldofjoy.org/
Norwich Samaritans – are an independent branch to Samaritans national. With a team of 180 volunteers, they handle approximately 30,000 calls annually via phone, email, and face-to-face interactions. The branch also conducts outreach programs, such as training prisoners at HMP Norwich and HMP Bure to offer peer support and visiting local schools for wellbeing events. https://www.samaritans.org/branches/norwich/
Open Road West Norfolk - dedicated to providing state-of-the-art automotive workshop and training facilities for young people. Their programs focus on fostering individual achievement and teamwork through motor vehicle and construction related activities, aiming to equip young people with professionally recognised qualifications and skills for future careers in the automotive and construction industry. https://openroadtraining.co.uk/

Community Café: a space for residents to gather and engage. Community Food Club: to provide affordable food and wrap around support to help people out of crisis. And a Community Fridge: To reduce food waste and support those in need. Shrublands Trust strives to support the local community by promoting social interaction, health, and well-being. https://shrublandstrust.org.uk/




Quorn Foods: Melted Drain Pipe Repaired Without Digging
The problem
Quorn Foods called us out to a blocked drain that was holding up production at their site. In a food manufacturing setting every hour of downtime counts, so they needed a fast and reliable fix.
What we found
Standard clearing didn't shift the blockage, so we ran a CCTV survey upstream from the downstream manhole. The camera showed the cause: the PVC pipework had melted and deformed from the heat of the trade waste running through it.



How we fixed it
We came back with a specialist Picote unit, which cuts through obstructions from inside the pipe without any digging. Once we'd cleared the first melted section, the camera picked up a second damaged point further upstream, so we cut through that one too.
To seal both defects for the long term, we installed two Localiner patch repairs ito seal the defects. That restored the drain without breaking ground.
The result
The drain was back in full working order with very little disruption to production. Our work was a cost-effective solution (compared to excavation) and reduced the impact on production.
