Customer in Harpenden
Clear blocked drain.
This was the only firm I could find willing to quote a fixed fee for a blocked drain. Others will quote when they get here and/or add labour to the cost of using a high pressure hose. [I didn't want to have to haggle if they quoted a high price or turn them away and get another quote.] They gave me a time, turned up on time, fixed the blockage, charged the agreed fee and left no mess. A 'Ronseal' service.
