Garden drainage system specified and installed in Sept 2021 for a garden/lawn area that has been very wet in the winter. Steve is very knowledgeable and had all the kit needed to do the job as neatly and carefully as possible. Looks good!

The waste pipe coming from my bathroom was damaged, with the unimaginable pouring out into the street! Steve came out, quoted me way less than another company, and fixed my problem quickly and efficiently. Steve checked the drains with his camera and found a blockage and tree roots, giving me some well needed advise on fixing this issue, explaining everything clearly, without the pressure that usually happens when you have a problem to fix. I couldnt be more impressed with his honesty, efficiency and workmanship. I can now use my bathroom as intended! Thank you so much!

Called Steve with a drainage issue - he was there the next day as arranged - quickly diagnosed the issue and fully explained work involved to put right along with estimate of costs. Turned out to be quite a big job involving removing trees and digging up half the garden but Steve and his team came as promised and finished the job within the week. Took away all their waste and left everything tidy. A great service all round wouldn't hesitate to recommend or use again.

Contacted Steve after reading his fabulous reviews; emailed him Easter Sunday not expecting to hear back over Easter but he called me that afternoon and offered to look at our drains on his way home Easter Monday! Agreed a price (very reasonable!) and he did a fantastic and professional job. Super nice guy too. Cannot recommend highly enough.
