First Local Services レビュー 

Chris W did an excellent job and helpful advice. Very grateful.

They quoted £195 over the phone to clear one drain. They were at my property for 21 minutes in total. They charged £508.80. Where they got this exorbitant figure from....I have no idea. I do know that in my 30 years of home ownership,I have never paid over £500 for 21 minutes of work....on anything!!
When I spoke to Abi in the office, she said she would investigate my claim and get back to me. Of course....Abi has gone silent and I haven't been able to contact her for 3 days. Only use this company if you want to be ripped off!!

~~~Following First Local Services weak attempt to cover themselves in their response, I would like to add that I was not provided with the official cost of the repair before the work was carried out. In fact, he mentioned £200 to me which is an appropriate amount! Also, as for internal checks, reviewing job reports, photos and signed authorisation, there were none! The contractor didn't ask me to sign anything.
Yes....email me the signed invoice....which I have never ever seen!
Oh look....no signed invoice has been sent my way. Probably because there ISNT ONE!!

Jack and Brin come out to unblock the pipe. Very friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

Very good service indeed. Chris wasted no time at all in getting on with the job of clearing our drains that had become blocked.He worked quickly and efficiently in doing this with a logical explanation along the way. He was also polite and had a very good manner which for me, is very important! Well done!!

Superb service! Highly recommended.

Excellent work on the drains by Chris W. Straight forward, no hassle. Engineer here within an hour of my call to the office.

Huge thanks to James and the team for their excellent work unblocking my drain and repairing the pipes. They were professional, efficient, and left everything clean and working perfectly. I really appreciate their quick response and high-quality service — highly recommend!

Brilliant service from start to finish. Following a Google search I made contact with First Local Services as I thought I may have a blocked drain. I was advised that they could get someone to me that same afternoon and suggested a cctv survey. Harry H called to advise estimated time of arrival. What a polite friendly guy ….. he introduced himself when I opened the front door, asked me to explain the issues and immediately advised that I had definitely got a blocked drain. He explained that it would be a better option, and cheaper, to sort the blockage before the cctv survey so that he could check all pipes thoroughly. Harry explained every step of the process so that I understood what he was doing and why. Once the blockage was cleared he then checked the flow from toilets and shower to ensure it was good. The cctv survey showed that the pipe work underground is in good condition. He made a recommendation concerning the pan connection on one of the toilets but reassured me that it wasn’t anything that needed urgent attention.Harry left and written report and also sent an electronic copy by text message. He also recommended a conversation with Severn Trent regarding the proximity of the pipes for mine and next door in the chamber as there is not much of a gap.

Based on my experience of the service by First Local Services and the job done by Harry H I would highly recommend this organisation and, if any further issues arise, I will definitely use them again in the future. Thanks Harry 😊

Got the job done - but charging and capability were terrible.
He arrived without basic parts like sealant and then proceeded to go to the local hardware store to get some, and charged me for that time… here’s an idea, turn up with the proper kit. He sloped around at slow pace, watched videos on his phone, stared at the work a lot - all stalling for a better hourly rate.
I also highly dislike their business practice of them using multiple company names to make them look local, it’s deceiving as they are not local to where they claim to be from.

very very expensive! I paid £345 for them to unblock a drain,I’ve heard since the majority of firms charge £90
I know where I’ll be going if it happens again and it won’t be this company

The work was completed, however, the chap spent 15mins looking at his phone, but charged a full hour. The initial invoice was overstated (doubled) and did not match their own quoted rates, as stipulated on their work/jobsheet. I had to challenge the charges with evidence before a corrected invoice was issued. Eventually resolved, after several months, but customers should check invoices and job sheets carefully.

Fast responses on offer, and a very friendly person who came out.
What I don't like is their charging practices... BEWARE. For jetting they charge £60+VAT per half hour or part thereof. Fine. They arrived at 9:15 and were left by 10:10. I got charged a full £120+VAT for jetting, even though they can't have jetting for more than 10 minutes max. The reason when I queried it?

'the time starts from the moment the system is turned on'.

Not USED, but literally turned on. They started the motor in the van, and it was idling for at least 20 minutes whilst they did other stuff (like picking leaves out), before they used it. The motor was on for 31 minutes, and they jetted for 10. But I got charged for a full 31 minutes of jetting (which means an hour with the way they charge).

As it is they have quoted £7k for the job to fix the drains they couldn't jet, and needless to say this sharp practice means I will be taking my money elsewhere....

They were really prompt, came out the same day as we phoned, and were really nice. Great service, thank you.

The service was outstanding, with an immediate response time. Mick T arrived promptly, displaying professionalism and expertise, and completed the work efficiently. Many thanks. Carolyn Evans

Fast response and got the blockage sorted quickly and professionally.
Credit to Chris W.
Thanks again.

Called in the late morning and problem was resolved by 4pm. Chris W was excellent - communicated his ETA, arrived on time, swiftly solved the problem and tidied up too. Highly recommend. Thank you Chris!

On time, straight to work, courteous, kept me updated

Had a lovely lad called Jack who was professional and courteous, went above and beyond what I expected as it was a difficult job to access but he kept going until it was sorted. I felt for him when he first arrived as all his equipment was frozen due to the -7 overnight but we got some hot water and sorted it. Thanks Jack 😊

Mick T was great, quick, through

Very professional and we’re clear on the charges.

Liam came, he was friendly and professional, he explained what he was going to do and I was able to pay there and then.

Called out for a blockage. Liam arrived quickly, he was a very friendly and professional. Liam worked in a extremely tidy manner. We would definitely call if we have any problems on the future.
