    Drain Installation

    Posted 5 days ago

    Lost thousands using this company

    Had this company out for some major drainage installation, very cowboy firm from the beginning, paid them thousands of pounds, non of the drainage works and they are refusing to come fix the problem. Would advise anybody against using this firm unless you want to throw your money away.

    Emergency Drain / Sewer Clearance Service

    Posted 11 June

    Wish I never called this company

    Had this lot out for small gutter clearance and quoted me £200 turned up and the price quickly jumped up to nearly £1000 absolute day light robbery wish I never called them. Try a different firm and get a quote agreed before they turn up and you have no choice.

    Response from RAW Services (Sussex) Ltd

    Hi Jason, This is the same review you left on our Google profile. The review appears to be inaccurate, as RAW Services does not carry out gutter clearance works and our drain unblocking service has a fixed price of £95. We have been unable to locate any record of work undertaken for you, so we believe this review has either been left on the wrong company or is not genuine.

    24 Hour Drain Clearance

    Posted 10 June

    Awful for drainage clearance

    Had this company out to clear some drainage, first of all they took 5 hours to get to me when they said they would be 1-2 hours. Absolute joke and then it went in to there emergency call out time as it was later in the evening and tried to charge me double what they originally quoted cos they was late. Josh the manager was so rude awful customer service and the man who came out wasn’t any help either all in all terrible company all round.
