Drain unblocked without an issue
"Noticed a blocked drain over the weekend. Booked an appointment for Monday and the guy did it professionally. It turned out to be a slightly bigger job as the blockage was in the neighbours drain so the guy helpfully unblocked their drain as well. Would definitely recommend this company and I will be using them in the future too. "
