    Helpful, friendly service

    Posted 1 week ago

    Ian and Cameron came to fix an emergency water leak under our sink. They were very thorough and explained everything that they had done. They were really friendly too. It took a few days to get the part needed, but we were kept up to date with calls and WhatsApp messages.

    Capable plumber

    Posted 13 August

    My old toilet was cracked and I had already bought a replacement. The DCL plumber (Des) did a thorough job of installing the new toilet solving all the issues as they arose. He left the bathroom clean and tidy and took away the old toilet.

    Great Service from Start to Finish

    Posted 11 August

    Thank you for your quick response to my broken water pipe that comes into my home. An appointment to visit was arranged within 24 hours and a full breakdown of expected costs was shared before anyone attended. Cameron has visited my property this morning, explained what he was doing at various times and got on with the fix. No fuss, even with 30 degrees heat and needing to dig a deep hole to reach the offending pipe. Was clear that you take great pride in your work and are proud of the company you work for, thank you for sorting out my issue and leaving things very tidy.

    New kitchen tap

    Posted 09 August

    Really happy with the work. We had a new kitchen tap fitted and it was a smooth job from start to finish. Worked cleanly and efficiently, and made sure everything was properly sealed and working before leaving. No leaks, no issues, and the tap looks great. Would definitely use again and happy to recommend.

Thank you for looking at our Checkatrade page!


We are a small team of drainage and plumbing experts, bringing you over 20 years of experience in the industry.


We use top quality, leading drainage clearance equipment which is designed to have the job completed efficiently the first time.


We cover all aspects of drainage and plumbing; from drain camera rat investigations, to unblocking sinks and fixing taps.


We have enough experience to diagnose the problem over the phone, and therefore have fixed prices that remain the same.


We also have some new, improved gutter cleaning equipment that allows us to show you camera footage of the blockage, both before and after the clean. This gives you peace of mind that the cleaning has been carried out effectively.


We carry out an enhanced “soak-away treatment process” that aims to keep your soak-aways clean and maintained: this is far cheaper than a full replacement which can run into thousands of pounds!


We feel that we are big enough to cope but small enough to care. It may sound strange, but we enjoy our job! It can be a household task that many homeowners will not wish to tackle, so let us do the dirty work for you.
