Washing machine waste pipe not aligned with grated outdoor drain

If you’re looking for someone who truly knows his stuff, arrives promptly, works quickly, treats the job as if it were his own problem, and charges extremely reasonable rates, look no further. Highly recommended!

Leaking pipe under a shower tray

Very helpful and professional. Had a poor person before him so was a bit worried. Laurence could see the issue with a persistant leak under shower. I will use his services again for sure.
