    Blocked Drains

    Posted 6 days ago

    Excellent service from John

    John arrived just before he was due and completed the job efficiently and professionally. I can't fault his work and my drain is flowing again. He was also the cheapest quote which was a bonus.

    Blocked Drains

    Posted 27 June

    Cleaning and unblocking the drainage

    I have contacted the APJ to clean and unblock the drainage as my main consume was very bad small in my patio. I have been informed I don’t have the blockages and he did not really wanted to clean properly. After being 10-15 min on the side he said the job is done and wanted the full price. I still have very bad smell from the drainage. And he left. Lot of mess too I needed to clean a lot after him. Please see what picture which he left the drainage after he said it been cleaned. I would recommend hire proper company.

    Response from APJ Drainage

    Hi im so sorry you feel this way, I was called out for a blockage charge. I did an investigation to which I did not find any blockage. You then wanted me to clean the yard which is not what you paid for. I did offer to clean this for you with additional charges, to which you did not agree with. John
