From the outset Michael was fantastic. I emailed him the issue and he visited the house the next day and supplied his quote. I gave him the job and he had it completed within a few days. He always kept me up to date with progress and supplied all the report and information quickly which helped with my insurance claim for the blocked drain ! Excellent service and a very competitive quote. Thanks again Michael !!

I can't fault Michael he turned up on time and day when he said he would. Carried out the work professionally and with care and left everything clean and tidy. I rang several companies for the cost of CCTV survey and any potential repairs and Michael was cheaper than the other companies. I would highly recommend anyone who are looking for a reliable and professional service to use this company. Also all the lads were very pleasant and respectful.

So impressed with the work these great guys did, didn't have to wait long and they sorted our drainage issue in minutes ! Great price and work - ( I had a quote from a well known chain of drainage experts who couldn't come for 5 days post estimate for the work to fix it - they quoted £170.00 more for the job) Michael came and fixed it on first visit- with great advice on how to not have the issue again -

Cost - Excellent, no hidden charges.Reliability - Excellent always turns up and accommodates panic situations.Workmanship - Excellent, tests everything and goes over with customer to ensure satisfaction.I've used Michael in the past to clear a blocked sewage pipe that couldn't be unblocked using rods due to possible rock or something in there. Michael showed me the blockage on CCTV, used specialist equipment and cleared the blockage. Today had him round replacing an old broken clay drain waste, found underground in my driveway, which was exposed when digging foundations for a porch, rain water was leaking from it into my foundations. He carefully exposed the broken pipe by breaking away the concrete enough to replace with a new drain & pipe. Tested no more leaks and flow is fantastic. Thank you mate, my porch project is back on track.

19:41 20 Feb 20
I contacted Michael for a second opinion after getting what sounded like a ridiculous quote (£280) from another company for a high pressure washout of a blocked pipe (which would not actually have fixed my problem, thus adding further cost to the original price).He came to my place the next day to have a look, talked me through what he thought the problem was and why he felt a high pressure unblock was not appriproprate. He went through in detail how best to approach the situation with Plan A , Plan B etc, and after starting work, the problem was exactly as he predicted.Work was carried out in a very clean and professional manner, and I got billed exactly what he said it would cost, which was a fraction of what the other company quoted!Cannot recommend this company enough!
