Highlights
"Daniel and his colleague were extremely pleasant and worked very hard to clear a significant blockage in the main drain to my property. They turned up within 30 minutes of calling them and completed the work within the time and cost that they had estimated. I would highly recommend them!"
"I cannot speak highly enough of Dan and his team. What we thought would be a quick call-out (blocked drain) turned into a much larger job. Dan talked us through the position and kept us informed throughout. Pricing was detailed and transparent with no surprises. Despite diggers and skips, Dan and his team left the garden looking as good as it could do after being dug up. I would highly recommend and will certainly be using again when the need arises."
"I called DGS around lunchtime on 20 November to see if they could fix a blocked drain at my house. They told me they had two jobs to finish that afternoon but could be at my house around 4pm which they were. They checked out theoffending area and found some debris in the manhole which they cleared away. They checked 2 more manholes nearer the street and found some additional debris which was all cleaned out. A good job all round and very pleasant people to deal with. I was very pleased with their work."
