Steve arrived dead on time he promised to which was within hours of our talking on the phone. Fixed the problem with minimum fuss and stuck to his quote even though took a little longer than planned - even handed back the extra I paid to cover this. Very good manner and tidy to the extent of even taking shoes off when coming back through the house to make sure no mess. Couldn't ask for more.

Things got slightly more complicated than we realised initially and he charged an extra £10 but he informed me about this before he did the work and I was absolutely fine about it.

Steve came back to deal with a repeated blocked toilet (as promised if the problem re-occurred) the same day I called. As the issue is more likely to be the pipe or actual drainage I was very impressed and grateful that he didn't charge again for the extra time (even though he had the right to). I can't recommend Steve at Just Drains in Shoreham enough. You have to be able to trust what experts such as him tell you is the problem and in Steve, trust you can!

I needed a drain company to clear the outside drain and not knowing one, googledCheckatrade.  I wanted a local company and decided on 1A Just Drains. I telephoned Steve at around 4.30pm yesterday.  He said he would call me back and let me know whether he would call that evening or tomorrow. He duly did and we agreed for him to call today. As arranged Steve arrived and cleared the drain, all work was completed and at a reasonable cost.  Would definately use again.

I have had continuous problems with the toilet drain for the last 2 years. I've had 3 different people looking into it, providing small temporary fixes and never really investigating the issue in depth (literally!). Steve was very friendly, punctual, left the room clean and really got down to the bottom of the problem which turned out to be a blockage fairly far down the drain. It was also great value for the service, in fact the cheapest so far and the one who fix it! I definitely recommend him.
