Confidence

Ontstoppingsdienst Sobry operates as a registered Belgian company (VAT BE0786.817.478, active since June 2022) with a professional website, valid SSL, and clean antivirus scans. The business maintains a 4.8/5 rating across ~395 verified reviews on independent aggregators, with customers praising speed and communication. However, our research uncovered two substantiated complaints on consumer-review platforms accusing the company or its subcontractors of significant overcharging—one customer reported being billed €1,587 for approximately two hours of work—and poor results. The complaints use terms like 'oplichterij' (fraud) and describe 'semi-fraudulent subcontractors' and 'extortionate pricing'. While the company's registration, financials, and social presence are legitimate, the pattern of pricing disputes creates genuine risk for consumers. The absence of a direct contact email on the website and lack of a postal address also limit transparency.
