Drainage problem sorted efficiently but not happy about cost
The operator was courteous and completed the drainage problem very efficiently but thought the charge of £171 was very excessive for less than an hour’s attendance

Hello Peter,
Thank you for sharing your feedback, we are sorry to hear you weren't completely satisfied with the cost.
Before we carry out any work, we evaluate the problem and provide a quote. Once you are happy with the quote, we then start the job.
If this process was not followed, please email your postcode to UK.Feedback@nbly.com and I will investigate this further for you.
Thanks,
Calum
Fantastic, thank you
Spot on. Emailed early morning and within 30 mins received a call from the office to say whilst they couldn't get anyone out the same day, it would be 9am the following morning. Fine with that. 2pm that day received a call from Wayne to say he was 30 mins away. Great bloke, helpful and gave some good advice. Happy customer and would highly recommend 👌

I couldn’t believe how serious the problem with my kitchen and how quick they sort it out for me. Called them in the morning and problem fixed before 12 on the same day. Paul was very professional and polite. Now my kitchen drainage is like new and no doubt, I will strongly recommend them to my friends.
