Alan managed to sort out the problem we had and showed great perseverance to get it done. Really good job.Verified reviewerJob location: SO2110 Survey of Drains by CCTV
Posted 19 March
We opted for a full drain survey following initial concerns raised by a homebuyers survey. We are glad We did as the finding and the report provided enabled us to go back to the vendor and renegotiate on the price of the property. When we are in a position to fix the drains we will not hesitate to use this company.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5010 Blocked drains

Alan came round to check the condition of my drains. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Really helpful, thorough and friendly.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5310 Underfloor Leak Detection
Posted 05 March
Alan recently provided leak detection services for me including invasive access. The team spent a considerable amount of time both on the phone prior to booking and whilst at the property discussing the issue and to establish potential causes before removing floors. The job investigation was completed faster than expected and most importantly my property was treated with absolute respect, to the point where its hard to tell the reinstated floor was even taken up. Alan even reduced the quote to account for the shorter time on site. He also offered advice regarding dealing with insurers before hVerified reviewerJob location: GU3410 Blocked drain and investigation work
