Why this helps you judge trust: this trader is linked to a registered company with named people who are legally accountable for it, on an official register anyone can check, a layer of accountability an unregistered trader doesn't offer. Around 5 years on the register also points to an established business rather than a brand-new one.

Ross did a fantastic job unblocking drains to side of house, not pleasant job! Ross was professional and friendly. The job was sorted quickly at a very reasonable price. Would highly recommend.
Not a big problem - drain smell in bathroom - but Ross came in good time, identified the source of the smell and has resolved it. A really first class service which we would happily recommend and very reasonably priced. Thank you Ross.
We had water seeping into the cellar and problems with drains from shower and toilet. Ross and his brother arrived 30 mins after I called them and had it unblocked and sorted in less than 15 minutes. Absolutely brilliant, very reasonable price - thank you!
From prompt answer of the phone through to drain being unblocked this was a superb experience. Friendly and courteous. Attended the job within an hour of my call and fixed an hour later. Thank you!
