The dynamic brother and sister duo of Aaron Clark and Natalie O’Brien were called in to deal with drain clearance work in the home and away dressing rooms. This work led them to repeat business for the team in advance of England’s home fixtures in the Six Nations Tournament this February.
Clark said: "We were called in to clear the drains in the home dressing room before the England vs. Australia Autumn international. We had to be flexible because while we there the England team needed to use the changing facilities and baths for training.
"While they were there we did the away dressing room and had to move back to the home one when England finished and Australia turned up for their training. Then go back again when Australia had left.
"We have since been back on site again to complete a thorough cleaning to ensure that the flow from the toilets, showers and baths is running free. Before the Six Nations starts next month we will go back again as part of a regular maintenance deal with the stadium contractors.
"There were a lot of people around and it was bit like being in a scrum at times but we completed the job on time."
This is just part of the London SW franchise business' commercial success. Several leading pub and restaurant chains now rely on Drain Doctor to deal with their plumbing problems - vital when a blocked kitchen drain or faulty toilets can force the closure of premises.
Turnover last year, in the depths of the recession, was 16 per cent higher than the year before - and this year the siblings are on track to achieve a massive 70 per cent increase in sales.
O’Brien added: "Drain Doctor has a proven system that offers a largely recession-proof opportunity where we can still be independent operators running our own business but with all the back-up that comes with being part of a large national organisation.
"Businesses and householders across our franchise area get the same ‘dazzling' level of service which Drain Doctor provides across the rest of the country.
"Our customers get fixed-price, no obligation quotes, a complete guarantee on all our work, and a full 24 hour, seven days per week service with no call out charges - so people pay the same price for work at any time of day or night. What's more, we turn up at the agreed time!"
