One recent happy customer shared:
“Fantastic company to deal with, visiting a relative in Probus, who is almost 100 years old, realised there was a issue with the drains at her cottage. Called Pellows, even though they were very busy, they managed to slot us into a cancellation. Great job, utterly professional and a great price! Mcauley – the young man who came out was bright, cheery and did a superb job, in seriously bad weather – a credit to the Company. Very, VERY happy, thanks to the whole team! Great communication throughout!.”
