Person cameat arranged time. Evaluated and investigated and solved the drainage blockage in a very good time. I sm very pleased.
Unblocking a drain
Excellent service. The drain engineer was at my place within an hour or so of my calling the company. Fast, thorough and highly professional. Also, he cleaned up after clearing my drain. This will be my go-to folks in the future. Highly recommend.
Assessed to identify source of blockage - unfortunately was beyond property boundaries
Arranging was easy - excellent response times and very clear on what would happen. On the day they were running ahead of schedule and called to let me know / ask if they could come early. Excellent thorough work carried out and advice provided. Much, much better and more helpful than the subsequent team who came out from Thames Water! Excellent work!
