Highlights

"Alan is the most professional, reliable, personable and knowledgable plumber/drain consultant that we have ever used. He replied to a query instantly, turned up exactly when he said, showed us the problem with his hi-tech gear, provided a solution and approximate costing straight away. I would recommend him and his services to anyone. Easily the best professional we have ever used, and we will use him again without worry."

"Thank you to Alan who attended my emergency on the same day, was thorough and professional, made sure to complete the job and cleared up brilliantly. He was also a kindly man who kept me fully informed."

AnonymousCheckatrade5.0 rating

"Contacted Alan as was looking to purchase a property that had no manhole access on site and a public sewer to the rear. Alan arranged with the seller to get a camera survey of the rear public sewer from the neighbouring property and provided an accurate report and visual record of the sewer, it's depth, location and condition. The private drainage was more problematic as access only available from a rodding point, but managed to survey and reveal an issue at the boundary with the neighbouring property. Alan liaised with the neighbour to get it resolved. Good report including CCTV and sketch"
