Request a quoteTheir quick attendance to my call
What disturbed me was the plumber telling me that I had to replace everything in the cistern when it was a small plastic lever which had snapped. I told him that I had seen a similar part at BUCO for R89. He then found a part in his truck !!!!!!!!
Got our drain blocked prompt by STREAM LINE PLUMBING. Very helpful.
