Drain unblocking
"Excellent company to deal with. Polite, friendly and reasonably priced. A credit to the drain industry! Will certainly be recommending them and will be using them again. Special mention and thanks to Josh the expert drain man. Finally, paying them online (following receipt of invoice) was so easy, if you use the weblink they send you. Why can't all trades companies be like this?!"
Clearing blocked drains
"I called the company after a recommendation and a man arrived later the same day. He was friendly and professional, quickly set up the equipment and worked his magic with the two blocked drains. He offered advice on keeping the drains clear in future and made sure the area was clean and tidy before he left. I have no hesitation in recommending this firm."
Toilet drain pipe investigation
"Amazing in terms of just taking the time out on the phone to just walk through problem to see if they needed to even come out and also proposing various options to move forward. The prices quoted were also reasonable."
Drain work
"Tommy and Glen came and fixed a slow running drain for me. They worked around my schedule and gave me some extra advice of an additional fix that I could do in the future if needed. I would happily use them again or recommend them to others."
