Badly blocked toilet and 1930's drain
Excellent company! The job was very problematic, an upstairs toilet with low level drains from the 1930's, but they didn't give up until the difficult problem was fixed! Everything was left clean and in good working order. The workmen were fabulous and explained everything they were doing clearly at every stage. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the whole team. They were a pleasure to have in the house! The final cost was very reasonable considering all the work that had to be done! It's no wonder they call themselves " Happy drains." From a very happy customer
