    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.

    Very pleased with service provided by Cotswold Drainage, Luke did a great job. Would certainly recommend them, very efficient. Arrived on site when promised and solved the problem, can't ask for more than that.

    I’d happily use Cotswold Drainage again - the engineer arrived and within a couple of minutes had not only identified the problem but cleared the blockage. He then went on to give everything a good hose down and then did a camera inspection to make sure there were no more issues further down the drain. Highly recommended.

    Very good service, got the the job done 👍

    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.

    Luke and his colleague were efficient, friendly and very professional. They arrived on time, kept me well informed and were just brilliant all round. I'd previously used a well known, national company and the contrast was remarkable. The previous company provided me with very little information, they refused to guarantee their work because a manhole was covered with a slab and once the blockage was cleared they left. Cotswold Drainage guaranteed their work and cleared the underlying problem, rather than the symptom. An all round excellent company to deal with.

    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!
