If you're a follower of Darren's Drains on active socials, like LinkedIn and Facebook, you'll no doubt have seen the motivation and energy levels from Darren Tuthill. He is without doubt, from this writer's perspective and as a customer who has employed Darren twice, one of the most expert, motivated and hardest working drain specialists
As summer (finally) appears to arrive in the UK, I thought I’d use the opportunity to look back over the strange last year where there have been more call-outs than ever before and considering why?

I've often wondered travelling around daily whether to abandon the van for a hovercraft (designed in Somerleyton) or an ark. What it has meant though is there seems
If we can use an analogy of being ill to show what we do, we think that could work well. When you're feeling ill, many people "google" their symptoms. If you have acid stomach, a racking cough, swollen tonsils, you will try to find treatments from an online search. This may yield suggestions like take
In these strange times, we've managed to keep working at Darren's Drains in Norwich as we're classed as key workers - both Darren and Lucky! Makes sense really.
