From our own jobs
Recent work.
Blocked drain
“I had a blocked drain from my kitchen. Called this company and the phone was answered straightaway. Explained the problem and Lee advised he would be with me within an hour, which he was. Price was quoted before any work was undertaken and that was the price paid.”
“We had a blocked drain causing effluent to back up into our drainage and yard. Very quick, competent and efficient work to clear less than 90 mins from my initial call!”
Toilet pipe blockage
“Contacted at 8am, visit arranged for pm same day. Work carried out and completed by 3pm. Informed 20 minutes prior to arrival. First rate service by someone who knew what he was doing.”
“Phoned on late afternoon and was at my door within 30 minutes. Great service by Lee. Answered my questions and was swiftly in and done the job no trouble. Thoroughly recommend this company. Top job thanks 👍”
Blocked drain
“Called at 10am on a Sunday. Lee had been and cleared them by 1pm. Great service.”
“After being ripped off by a pretend plumber to clear a blocked toilet, I checked reviews this time and called Reactive Drains. Lee came out a few hours later and cleared it in no time. He was thoroughly professional and friendly, even inviting me to watch what he was doing which I found fascinating.”
