Job location: RG31Over Christmas, a guest blocked our loo (Saniflo macerator). Saniflo will point you to their approved repairers, who seem to charge extortionate call-out fees, turn up, tell you to buy a new one, and charge a fortune to fit it. Lyes was happy to take a look, took the whole thing apart, cleaned it, reassembled it, and unblocked the waste pipe. He will not give up until he fixes your problem. He's now in our contacts for any future plumbing issues. I won't use anyone else. Call him. - MMike L

Lyes was great, called on Thursday, and he was very busy but he made time to fit us in and sorted the problem the next day. He is courteous, timely, very tidy, but above all he really knows what he is doing, I had complete confidence in him and he did a great job. I really could not commend him enough, great plumber but an even nicer person.Verified reviewerJob location: RG30
