## In customers' own words
_Verbatim quotes from this trader's public reviews, each attributed to its source:_
> "Marks team worked tirelessly to clear a blocked pipe that is fed from a saniflow. They eventually cleared the pipe from hell and installed a new saniflow for me. Mark and the team never let me down helping me keep my b&b running smoothly. No brainer in recommending First Drainage. 👍"

> "I had a blocked drain which was backing up into the showers and toilets. Called three companies. One charged and did not turn up. Two others turned up, charged a firtune, cleared some sections not all causing the blockage to recur. Both declined to attend to finish the job. This company came out, checked the entire pipework, cleaned throughout at a very reasonable price. They used a camera to check problem was fully cleared. They did not charge extra, the others charged exorbitant fees for use of camera. I can totally recommend this company for ther professionalism and honesty."

> "We have used First Drainage a couple of times to clear a blocked toilet in our cafe. The service was excellent and Mark was super helpful and made suggestions as to how to proceed with Welsh Water to avoid using First Drainage again. Would highly recommend."

## Before you hire a plumber
_What to check when choosing this kind of trade (general guidance, not a claim about this business):_
- Agree the call-out fee, the hourly or fixed rate, and whether parts are charged on top, in writing, before an emergency plumber starts. Out-of-hours overcharging and 'while I'm here' add-ons are common complaints.
- Be wary of a plumber who, on a first visit, says your whole system or boiler must be replaced. Get a second opinion and an itemised quote (parts and labour separately) before agreeing to major work.
- Gas and boiler work is a separate, regulated trade, not general plumbing. Make sure anyone working on a gas appliance is specifically registered to do gas work, and ask to see that registration before they start.
- For the water-regulations side of plumbing, a WaterSafe-approved plumber is vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. You can check yours or find one free at watersafe.org.uk.
- Look for consistent reviews across several named sources, not one polished profile.
