Case study: a leaking soil pipe, and a few extra jobs along the way

The problem

The customer’s soil pipe was leaking and needed replacing. They also had a leaky kitchen sink and tap.

What we did

Vasile came out the day after they called, replaced the soil pipe, took the old one away and cleaned up, even in drizzly weather. He then repaired the leaking kitchen sink and tap before leaving.

The result

In the customer’s words: “It’s a relief knowing the job is in expert hands!”
