Fantastic service! We called Roger on the Friday, he came out to quote/inspect Monday, the work was carried out and completed by Friday so everything done within a week!! Roger was friendly, conscientious, punctual and explained everything to us. Thoroughly recommend

🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Roger was very polite and friendly nothing was too much trouble he did an excellent and thorough job at inspecting then jetting our drains which solved our problem.We had just moved house and there was a foul smell to the front and back of the house.

Friendly chap, very helpful. We needed a drain survey and he explained what he had to do and showed on the screen that there was no problem. His report came through the following day so didn't have to wait long.
He turned up an hour after I called, amazing! He was polite and took time to explain what he needed to do, 30min later job done and the price was reasonable too. Thankyou so much
Roger was very thorough with the cctv drain survey that we requested and we had the results of the survey within 24hrs. The report was clear and concise. I would recommend this trader.
Roger attended on the same day as the enquiry. A blockage within the drain run was quickly identified but first required some shrub clearance which became evident as the centre of the issue. The roots ingress along the line of the drain causing blockages. A C.C.T.V. camera exploration and recording also identified some broken joints. He worked hard and used his vast knowledge to rectify the situation. Follow up work is now required but the issue had been identified and initially resolved. Thanks to Roger - Highly Recommended.
Roger did an excellent job clearing our drains, turned up when he said he would, charged what he quoted, fair pricing, honest, reliable, we would certainly use his services again if required and would highly recommend his services. Thank you for a great job!
Roger was recommended to use by our architect who had also used him on numerous other jobs. Good initial comms about arranging a time and date. Turned up bang on time and did a really thorough job, producing an excellent report that was emailed to me within 24 hours. Left no mess, and no disruption. Highly recommended and would 100% use again.
No job too small. No silly lead times. Turns up when he says he will. Does a good job with no fuss. Charges you what he quotes and doesn't pad it out. Will absolutely use him again. Mark
Very thorough and friendly . Would highly recommend . Report emailed within a few hours with footage from CCTV with detailed advice on findings.
Great service from start to finish
Roger was prompt visiting the next day after my call to carry out an inspection of my drains. He was very professional and polite taking care of my property . Very reassuring he explained everything he was doing. His report arrived the next day along with the CCTV footage. I would thoroughly recommend his services .

Approved plumbers on the free WaterSafe register are vetted, qualified to the water regulations and insured. Check they're listed, or find a WaterSafe-approved plumber near you.
Check the WaterSafe registerAgree 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.
