  • Blocked drain. Above and beyond ( pun intended)
    Another bodged extention, as you can see this job was a bit different, not every day you see me take hoses up and over a garage roof.
    I carried out this drain unblock on a drain located on the Wirral and the house backed on to dome lovely woodland.
    Enjoy the video

      Agree that many companies would have seen the ridiculous lack of access and said "sod that for a game of soldiers"
      Tony goes above and beyond (literally in this case) to look after his customers

      To be fair, climbing up and over a flat roof is no big deal for a veteran like Tony. Bit awkward, but you have to take things like that in your stride every now and then.

    At least when they said " not in the house", be grateful that the ladders were there ready to use. Didn't rain so that's a plus. When I started seeing leaves, I recalled you earlier said extensions often had dodging plumbing aa well as other areas, and as we see that's been main factor todays video. Saving some pennies early is now coming back to bite them in the bum.

    I love the flying screwdrivers. Good trademark. I miss them when you unblock the stacks.
    These conservatories are lovely. I don’t recall seeing any in the US. Would love to have one. But of course, I would make sure to have adequate access to the drains. 😊

    Really poor when people block off access to the back. The amount of gardening jobs I've turned down because access is piss poor is amazing. You'd think the builder would advise against it.

Was worried for you having to climb those ladders especially as the ground was wet , i know you know what you're doing put i was more relaxed when u were on terra firma . Good job mate 👍ps what did those builders shout ? Cheeky scallys.
