Drain unblocking

excellent service by Alan. Professional and friendly. Clear advice given. Would definitely recommend to anyone.

Professional and friendly assistance.

Arrived promptly after my initial emergency call. Highly professional approach to the problem. Did an initial review of the problem drain and explained the issue clearly. Returned to clear, descale and fix the problem a few days later. Honest, reliable, courteous, polite and efficient. Highly recommend.

Professional, Reliable Service. Highly Recommend

Alan is the most professional, reliable, personable and knowledgable plumber/drain consultant that we have ever used. He replied to a query instantly, turned up exactly when he said,  showed us the problem with his hi-tech gear, provided a solution and approximate costing straight away. I would recommend him and his services to anyone. Easily the best professional we have ever used, and we will use him again without worry.

Best Professional tradesman

Had a blockage in my on-suite meaning the waste water in the sink had nowhere to go excent coming out of my on-suite shower plughole which my plumber could not unblock with his kit of acid and a plunger. 
Spoke to Alan from 1st Porter Call, who made me clear of the possible costs. He attended very quickly, identified the issue was caused by the build up of scale in the internal pipes and cleared the issue.
I would highly recommend using this Alan and his team - Brilliant

Excellent attention to detail

We were recommended to get a drain survey done and I was given Alan’s contact details. I contacted him and he responded the same day and arranged to attend the next morning which I thought was great service. Alan carried out the drain survey, explained clearly what he was doing and demonstrated what he had found and carried out remedial work there and then which has resolved the issue. I couldn’t have asked for better service, reasonably priced and a very open and honest approach. Highly recommended.

Great Service
