We reported a drain problem which was also affecting our neighbours. The technician was with us and our neighbours very quickly and cleared the blockage on our neighbours property and then checked our drains were clear too. Very professionally done and we were very pleased with his service and the quick response.

Blocked drains

Ricky N was amazing. Our drains were very backed up and he sorted the issue very promptly. Literally turned up 20 minutes after we reported the issue. Great service. Ref 065111605001

A job well done

Called out Wessex Water to clear a blockage in our drain. Ricky Nelmes did a great job and got it cleared very quickly. He also did a great job reversing his vehicle and trailer near enough to our awkward-to-get-to property to do the job. Very impressed all round by his manner and professionalism. A job well done and I'm impressed by the service given by Wessex Water.

Sewer Blocked - Great Service

We had a sewer that was blocked and leaking onto the driveway. Initially I used 'chat' online (at around 1100) which was very efficient. Toby (engineer on site) contacted me and explained what the problem was and how he was going to deal with it (around 1430). The blockage was cleared and picture sent of the trimming back. Overall a great service that was really appreciated. Keep up the good work.

Emergency call out to overflowing…

Emergency call out to overflowing public sewer on Stony Street in Frome. Workers arrived within the hour and carried out essential, if not extremely smelly and unpleasant, unblocking and cleaning action. Young guy was extremely helpful, informative and had a great sense of humour considering the nature of the work.
Site disinfected and left spotless on departure

A great service

A great service! Chatted online at 8.15am to Georgie regarding my loose drain cover on my drive, she was very helpful. Their surveyor arrived within 3 hours and placed a barrier around it, he the advised that the workmen would be arriving tomorrow to complete the work! A great service 😊

Once on chat I was guided through the set up of the account without even speaking to anyone. Was a bit off putting at first as I tried to phone but as premium rate I ran out of phone data.

Outstanding service by Chris and Tyrone (Lynwood’s)

Outstanding service by the two engineers who have worked extremely hard over two days to repair an outside sewage drain which had been severely damaged by tree roots. The drain and manhole cover have both received new parts and the end result is outstanding.
Very happy with what they achieved - a very professional finish too.

The job reference is 6645286

The two engineers were Chris and Tyrone

Chris and Tyrone of Lynwood’s carried out this difficult task with skill and tenacity. The roots were hard and large and they worked well to clear them. When one root proved impossible an alternative solution was achieved.The finish was very tidy and clean. Well done.
