  Camera survey of drainage for house purchase

  Posted 31 January

  Contacted Alan as was looking to purchase a property that had no manhole access on site and a public sewer to the rear. Alan arranged with the seller to get a camera survey of the rear public sewer from the neighbouring property and provided an accurate report and visual record of the sewer, it's depth, location and condition. The private drainage was more problematic as access only available from a rodding point, but managed to survey and reveal an issue at the boundary with the neighbouring property. Alan liaised with the neighbour to get it resolved. Good report including CCTV and sketch

  Toilet unblocking

  Posted 30 January

  Alan was brilliant, he kept in contact with me, arrived on time, was transparent about the cost and persisted until the job was done even when one of his machinery failed - he went away, had it fixed, then came back to get the job done. Would recommend without hesitation.

  Flawless

  Posted 18 January

  We used 1st Porter Call about four years ago and were extremely impressed and so, when we experienced a fresh issue this year, we naturally used them again and they did not disappoint. We were extremely impressed with the professionalism, efficiency, knowledge and advice Mr Porter was able to deliver which not just resolved the immediate problem but has given advice in relation to prevention of the issue going forward. They are my go to Company for drainage problems.

  Drain cleaning & unblocking

  Posted 05 November 2025

  Alan Porter is very professional, knowledgeable and thorough. We had bad smell in one bathroom. He identified a drainage blockage outside the house coming from other toilets. He unblocked & cleaned the drains and gave some advice before leaving.
