TESTIMONIALS
“Over the past 2 years I have numerous companies out to try and fix the leak in my garden. Craig and his team arrived on site and located and fixed the leak within a couple of hours, I was amazed at their service, you could not tell that the lads had been working there.”
“A brilliant pair of lads. Courteous, helpful, you couldn’t wish for better. They have actually done extra work to not only locate my leak but repair it as well. They could have just fitted a stop tap, as per their job instructions and walked away. Instead, they have done extra work to incorporate the leak. They have saved me hundreds of pounds and they did it all in the rain. You wont find better service than that.”
“After buying a new shower I was really disappointed that my water pressure was not strong enough to run it properly. I contacted Craig and he explained that it was because I was on a shared supply. He came and fitted a new water supply for me and arranged the connection with the Water Board, the shower now works brilliantly!”
