Money Down The Drain?

ReactFast Drainage Specialists are helping to clear blocked drains across the UK

Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking: “It’s a nice day - I think I’ll pay to have my drains cleared today!” But when the worst happens and your drain blocks, you don’t wonder whether or not to get it cleared. This is urgent, and the only considerations are: Can I find some one to do it? What will it cost me? When can they get here?

Because drain clearing is a task few people choose to do themselves, and nor do they have the training or the equipment, drain clearing commands premium rates. It was for this reason that ReactFast Solutions, the fast-growing franchise that is training plumbing franchisees at the rate of 30 a year, decided to add in drain clearing to the services offered by their franchisees. And very popular it has been, too.

Says Shaun Fitzgerald, ReactFast’s franchisee in Southampton: “People expect their plumber to have a jetting machine and to be able to clear blocked drains. And I’m only too happy to oblige - there’s good money in drains, more per hour even than plumbing.”

All ReactFast’s franchisees are trained in drainage work as well as plumbing. Jim Pharoah, ReactFast’s newest franchisee, says that the fact ReactFast passes its franchisees drainage jobs as well as plumbing jobs, was one of the reason he chose ReactFast over all other plumbing franchisees. “Some years back, I had my own drainage business, “says Jim. “I’m pleased to be back in drains, so to speak, and this time as a qualified plumber as well. I was just in time to get my first-choice territory too.”
