We called Alan out again to help with our blocked sink, having had “Drain Doctors” company come out (due to Alan being on holiday) and after doing some exploration them saying they couldn’t resolve it unless we ripped up our kitchen flooring to gain access. Alan expertly helped solve the issue with his experience and attention to detail - without any floor being ripped up. Can’t recommend 1st Porter Call enough.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5310 Major flood in Church Rooms on a bank holiday

Poorly designed bathrooms and drainage blighted our lovely home - which has now been fully rectified and drastically improved upon Alan’s investigation, analysis and solutions. A repeatedly blocked sink which caused our call out, revealed scaled, backed up and septic waste lying in incorrectly installed pipework, accumulating unhealthily over time. We are so grateful to Alan’s insightful expertise and experience, due to his multi faceted approach to our issues of drainage, sewerage (int./ext.), plumbing and his extensive equipment which meant he was a one stop powerhouse to swiftly resolve.Verified reviewerJob location: SO5110 Drain cleaning

Alan came out to assess the problem as all our efforts to clear the problem were unsuccessful. He identified the cause and explained everything in detail and by using cameras could show me. Once the blockage was cleared he power flushed the pipes to clear and remove a substantial build up of limescale. As an addition I asked if he could run the camera through the pipe work leading to a sewage treatment plant which he done for me giving me peace of mind. The work was undertaken in the most professional, tidy and polite way and I would not hesitate to recommend Alan to anyoneVerified reviewerJob location: SO40
