Posted on Joan Child Always a reliable friendly service !Posted on Angela Barratt Thank you ABS for delivering an excellent service above and beyond the norm. Our operator Steven Jones was so careful getting the tanker through a tricky access. Nothing was too much trouble for him and it certainly wasn’t the most straightforward of jobs. The booking service was quick and efficient too. Can’t recommend highly enough so thank you to all.Posted on Tom Nelson Great service and very helpful staff. Very easy to deal with - highly recommend. Had extremely good equipment for the job too.Posted on Amber Valentine What an amazing company = we under estimated how many toilets we needed due to having mainly women. Will not do that again. They came out within 2 hours to empty. Thanks you Rose and the driver.Posted on Lynne Blencowe Excellent thank youPosted on Ben Mounsey-Heysham An excellent service from ABS. They came on time and emptied my septic tank. Really nice and knowledgeable driver. Reasonably priced too. Would highly recommend.Posted on Mark Thomas very good company to deal with, would recommend. lovely bunch of peoplePosted on Kathlyn Kwa Rather dodgy drive down to property but Darren managed perfectly and completed excellent job. Completely satisfied with servicePosted on Iain Montgomery Excellent service, call answered straight away and driver booked for next day. Turned up on time and did an amazing job on a blocked pump chamber. Wouldn't hesitate to use these guys again. Great Job.Posted on Jenny Hopes Excellent service and nice to deal with a business where the call was answered quickly (which was at the weekend). The tanker was organised as a matter of urgency and came out very early as requested. The driver was very helpful and pleasant and the job was done efficiently and quickly. The company really does ‘live up to its name’ and we would definitely use ABS again plus would thoroughly recommend to others.
