    In my experience,if they advertise in "Yellow Pages" you can be sure you WILL be ripped off,and that goes for 99% of call out businesses that advertise in that book.

  • I had a blocked drain and used rated people. Some one got back to me straight away and done the job for a fixed price. The same can be said for my builder. My builder tends to get me more responses I've used them for plumbers and electricians.

    I think the drain company I used was lance-tech maintenance !

    A set of drain rods from Screwfix are £30.
    Do you want your money back, and a bit more, search for 'money claim online' - They don't like it up 'em Captain Mainwaring

    Not quite sure how your reply fits in with the original thread about Dyno Rod, i hope after 2 years the drain have been sorted.

    Probably because it is likely spam.
    First post and they search out an old thread and recommend a particular company. Sounds like spam to me.
