"Excellent service ! Rang on a Sunday and plumber then called me back that day to discuss and arrange appointment for next day . They accessed using side gate as I had to be at work. Sent text when done and invoice included photos and all work carried out . Very pleased. I even noticed the path had been swept down a bit. Invoice was prompt and easy to pay . Would recommend and use again if needed. Price was v fair I felt . I rang another company who had triple charge and needed to access my house which would have proved tricky if I am honest . Great service. Great company."
