Was cancelled on two days in a row at the last minute, won't rearrange as no guarantee it won't happen againPosted on Lucy HopkinsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Cane out within a few days. Two drains next to each other completely blocked from small slate stones from Fencing work been done. Took 1 1/2 hours to unblock. Cleaned up afterwards. Matt is a credit to this company. Efficency and high quality of care. Highly recommend this company should you also have blocked drains. Thank you to Matt and Precise Drainage Solutions for everything.Posted on Michael BryantTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Called PDS as I had a problem with the drains backing up. Was answered by very helpful lady who set out what they would do and their clear and very reasonable charging structure. Was promised someone would be on site in the afternoon. Matt arrived promptly and fully investigated the problem and confirmed it was an issue for Thames Water. He gave me advice on how to escalate with TW. Charging only for 30 mins on site was extremely reasonable compared with the charges of a lot of other companies. In short a superb service! Highly recommended.Posted on Mandie BassiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Wow! First time I can honestly say I received the best service from a tradesman.

Called Sunday afternoon for an unblock because external manhole was overflowing. Precise agreed to send someone that afternoon, but then text to say that someone would instead be there the next day between 9 and 11. The next day came and by 11:15 nobody had arrived and we had not been called with an update. When we called for an update we were told that they could get someone there later that day, but by then we had no trust in their ability to deliver so cancelled the service and got someone else same day. Completely understand the difficulties involved in scheduling emergencies of this nature, but a little communication would be nicePosted on David OsborneTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Superb service , friendly , professional , good communication and fast at reporting
