TEAM BIO: Roman Hadlow

My grandfather worked in civil engineering in Plymouth, including work connected with Plymouth Civic Centre, so there is a strong family history behind my interest in drainage, sewers, and infrastructure.
 
Plymouth is a fascinating place to work in this trade. The city’s coastal position, its hills, and the age and variety of its housing stock all create drainage challenges you don’t see everywhere.
 
I’ve always had a keen interest in exploring, understanding how things work, and solving problems. That mindset is especially useful in drainage, where every property can have a different system, layout, age, or design.
 
My promise to every Plymouth customer is simple: I’ll tell you exactly what I find and do the job properly.
