    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.

    Cotswold Drainage Ltd were extremely friendly, knowledgeable, and fast. They came around to take a look at my drainage issue and diagnosed the problems very efficiently. Then they fitted a new sump pump. Definitely recommend!

    We had an absolutely fantastic service from Cotswolds Drainage. They replaced a cesspool and septic tank, replacing them with a new sewage treatment works and drainage field, also installing soakaways for rainwater running off the roof. The estimating, planning, organisation, installation and clearing-up were painless and all went seamlessly. All of the installation teams were efficient, reliable and easy to work with and they were very careful about looking out for our dog. The financial estimates were clear and accurate, with no surprises. And they liaised with Building Regs as necessary. We’d thoroughly recommend Cotswolds Drainage.
