Excellent work, exorbitant costs

Martin attended my home and installed a sump pump in my cellar. A few weeks in and the cellar is dry and it is doing the job. Martin was fantastic and explained everything. He is a credit to the company.

However the cost was ridiculous. Over £3k for three quarter of a days work and the pump/pipes. was very disappointed with the price.

Excellent service from Martin…

Excellent service from Martin going above and beyond the call of duty to ensure that our pump was properly grounded and safe to use. Explained carefully what he was doing and gave advice about another pump we have. Highly recommend.

Always great service

I have been using this company to service our cellar pumps for 15 years. Always professional service from Martin the engineer who visits every year. Today he’s installed two new pumps with a battery back up - quick, clean and timely installation

Liam came and did a good job

Liam came and did a good job. As was about to leave he checked all done and I asked him about the hanging pump outside the basement. His first time and he didn’t know about that one but got his kit out again with no bother and checked that one too. Just as well as electric supply needs replacing. Good job thoroughly done and nice guy with it.

Pure profiteering

Pure profiteering, I asked for a quote for a sump pump with no channels. Just to pump out the water in my basement.

No electric work it’s all ready there, I’ve had 3 quotes two and 1.5k and these at £3100 plus vat.

Really !!!

Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that you felt disappointed with the quote provided.

We understand that pricing can vary between companies, and this can be frustrating when comparing quotes. Our quotations are based on a full assessment of the system required, including the specification of the pump, installation requirements, and ensuring a reliable long term solution.

Thank you again for bringing this to our attention.

Brilliant

Brilliant, professional service. Martin was very helpful, quick and efficient and explained everything in full.
We had our pump serviced before a house move and haven’t hesitated to recommend the company/Martin to the new owners.

A really professional company. Prompt reminded about the service and great contact by email and phone. Martin came to do my service and he was brilliant! Really friendly, full explanation and didn’t mind that I hadn’t managed to move the carpet he did it and put it back. Full explanation of what he did and why. Superb service! Would recommend to everyone.

Professional and reassuring

I recently brought a house in Bakewell not knowing it had a sump. My anxiety and ignorance about them were quickly dispatched by the thorough helpfulness of this company. Martin, the technician, was incredibly helpful, knowledgable and reassurced me with professional ease. Outstanding.
