Kinghorn drainage FAQs
What does landlord and letting agent drain surveys cost in Kinghorn?
Price depends on what we find, so we agree it with you before any work starts. There is never a charge for turning up in Kinghorn, and we will tell you if the job is smaller than you feared. Photos or a short video help us answer that more precisely.
Can you attend out of hours in Kinghorn?
Yes, and at no extra rate. Nights, weekends and public holidays are charged the same as a Tuesday morning in KY3. There is no charge for the advice either way.
What should I do before you arrive in Kinghorn?
Stop using water in the property if it is backing up, clear access to the chamber if you can find it, and take a photo of the overflow — it helps us bring the right kit to Kinghorn first time. Ring 07427 195142 if you want that checked before booking.
Do you guarantee the work?
Yes. If the same fault returns within the guarantee period we come back to Kinghorn at no charge — and if the cause is structural we will have flagged that on the first visit rather than after it. Most people in Kinghorn ask this, so you are not alone.
How much notice do tenants need?
We work to whatever notice you give under the tenancy, and we can book a specific time slot so the tenant is not waiting in all day.
Will the report say whether the tenant caused the blockage?
The report says what was found in the pipe and where. Wipes and fat look very different to a collapsed joint or root ingress, so the cause is usually clear from the footage.
Can you survey several properties in one visit?
Yes, where they are close together we group them into one visit, which keeps the cost per property down.
