What to Ask Before You Agree to Drain Work
Whose pipe is it?
A drain that serves only your home is usually yours. A shared pipe may belong to the water company, so find out before you pay. Your own council can often point you the right way.
Is there a call-out charge?
Charges vary from one engineer to another. Ask before you agree, because the answer changes the final bill. Get the figure in writing.
Can I have a written quote?
Ask for the quote before work starts. A quote with no detail is a warning sign, so ask what it includes. Keep it to show what you agreed.
What cover comes with the work?
Ask what a guarantee covers and how long it lasts. Get the answer in writing, since a spoken promise is hard to prove. Keep your invoice too.
