He explained everything fully, told us the options and tried everything possible without going in to the more costly fixes.

Unblocking kitchen drain.
"The blockage was quickly cleared, service was efficient and friendly."
INitially cleared blockage but found root mass in the sewer so cleared that as well
"Not used this company before but when I was unable to clear a blockage in my sewer line I gave them a call. They were responsive and the engineer just got to work, identified where the sewer ran then blasted it clear. The sewer was running again within 15 mins. The knowledgeable engineer said he believed there were roots in the sewer as he could "feel" them. A camera run showed the root mass and where located. He blasted the roots from the inside then found that the majority were ingressing through the side of the sump on one of the manholes so cleared those too. Highly recommend this company"
Great experience
"Wayne was a lovely chap and very helpful. Cleared the drains swiftly and was excellent to deal with"
