Highlights
"Hymers did a great job completing the groundwork’s section of my new extension. They were reliable, courteous and met my timescales. The quality of work was good and would recommend John and his team for any similar projects. The best attribute was his communication as he found issues and came up with the best solution to resolve."
"Very pleased with the work carried out by John and his team. They were very professional throughout and completed the work within the time estimated. His biggest strength is his excellent communication, he was very happy to listen and talk through the work and kept me updated throughout. This is something vital to any project. Look forward to working with them in the future. I would feel confident in recommending Hymers Drainage for any work you needed."
"John did a great job of installing the new waste pipe despite storm Eunice being in full force. He was very friendly and made sure to take the time to communicate with me what he was doing so he could ensure the best solution. Very happy with the work"

Check the TrustMark registerNever pay a large deposit up front — agree a staged payment schedule tied to completed milestones, and hold a small retention until snagging is done.

Be wary of a cash-only price or pressure to start tomorrow — both are red flags for an unaccountable job.
