Interceptor removal/ blocked drain

I highly recommend O'callahan Construction.  They are a fantastic team very professional hard working and kept me informed every step of the way.  Very quick and tidy my garden looks as it did before the work, when my plumber had done his job they came back and finished off the work in the kitchen.  Ie.  Sealing the hole around the new pipe.  I am very grateful for their work they were very busy but fitted my job in before Christmas.  Very approachable and answered all my concerns.  A huge thank you to them all.  I will definitely be contacting again if I need anything done.

Dig a trench.  Lay new water pipe from top of the drive to back of the house into kitchen

Great job from the lads.  No wonky posts in sight, everything was done perfectly.  Highly recommended for a quality job and attention to detail.

Double gate and 25 metres of fencing with concrete posts and gravel boards
