    How to choose the right drainage company

    1st August 2022

    You find yourself needing a drainage company, but with so many different companies offering different things, it can get hard to choose the right one for you. We have made an unbiased list of things to help make the choice easier for you.

    Choose 3 Drainage Companies

    Having a choice of three allows you to keep your options open, this will help you make an informed decision on who will be a great fit for you.

    Research

    Google, Google, Google. Once you’ve chosen three companies, take the names of each one and search them on Google. Do a little research into what they offer, check out their reviews, look at their social media and get a good feel of who they are as a company.

    What can they do?

    Ask them for examples of recent projects they have completed, and find out if they have worked on a project like yours before.

    References

    It can be difficult to assess things such as their work ethics and attitude, asking for references is a great way to find out a little bit more about who you could potentially be working with on your project.

    Get a quote

    Ask for a quote. Receiving a quote from the company will help decide which is best for you and your budget but remember if it seems too good to be true, it could be. So don’t always opt for the cheapest without doing research.

    Questions to think about

    What else do they offer? Do they have a warranty for their works? Do they have an emergency call out for when you need them urgently? Do they have all the equipment needed readily available? Is their team experienced and certified? Do they offer any additional/free services with their work? How long have they been in business? Do they cover your area?

    These are just a few tips on what to look at and how to narrow down your search for the right drainage company.

    A great, straightforward service, thank you! Customer service is excellent - there was a problem with the date we originally booked, but it was quickly resolved by Richard, and he was very apologetic. The engineer who came out was Adrian. He was on time, called ahead of arrival as requested, and was very polite. Did a great job. Thanks guys!

    I was impressed not only by the speed and professionalism of the work done to install a new septic tank, but by the considerate friendliness of those who carried it out and of those conducting correspondence about the job.

    From the telephonist to the operative, Cotswold Drainage was helpful, flexible, and professional in its work. It arrived on time and went out of its way to show excellent camera footage of the drains.

    Great service. Requested a treatment plant survey for a house we were purchasing before exchanging contracts. They liaised with the seller direct to arrange a convenient date and time. Report was emailed to us the next day. They replied to queries on the report very promptly and also other queries we had with the system and how it worked. Quick service throughout, would definitely recommend.
