“Fantastic service received! I called cobra as I was dropped in it by another company who didn’t turn up. Cobra was able to come out and remove all my carpet/underlay waste at a competitive price early the very next day. They are the definition of how a good company should be run well. Highly recommended!” – Neil
“Absolutely fantastic. Can not fault the service. Rang them in a panic, having been let down, and they jumped into action and collected several large items of wet furniture that very morning at a very reasonable price. Worth every penny. Rang me back to confirm, and the job was done without fuss. Paul and his team are exceptional at what they do.” – Joy
