    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.

    Third time I have used this outfit. They turn up when they say they will, do the job and get you the report the next working day. Ask for Dave Streeter.

    Having researched companies to install a sewage treatment plant for my house, I chose Cotswold Drainage. I have not been disappointed at any stage of the process. From the outset, communication has been exemplary, every person I met, in person or on the telephone, has been very polite, and took time to listen and answer our questions. The quality of the work done has been, to my untrained eye, of a very high standard. Disruption has been kept to a minimum and the area has been left very tidy, now waiting for grass seed to sprout! I had some further pipe work done separately from the septic tank installation, and again, it was a very straightforward process with minimal disruption. Well done Stuart and all at Cotswold Drainage. Many thanks.

    I am very pleased with the service provided by Cotswold drains . My problem was solved very quickly and expertly by Adrian . The problem was ROOTS ! They were in the main drain pipe underground. Located by means of a camera. I am in Cheltenham and will certainly recommend Cotswold drains to anyone with drain problems . Thank you Adrian

    I think your technicians name was Luke. I hope I have remembered correctly. Excellent job, quietly spoken, polite and respectful. Clearly explained stuff and sorted the problem.
