    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 very organised, punctual and efficent with both the septic tank emptying and also the CCTV survey. I cannot fault them and both the guys who we dealt with on the day were such great advertisements for the company. A pleasure to deal with all round.

    Excellent service, the operator was knowledgeable and had a couple of ideas about our tank. Very happy to recommend them.

    Throughly recommend Cotswold Drainage. We’ve used them for a number of things (cctv survey, service and tank cleaning) and always had an excellent service. Everyone attending is friendly and explains what they are doing, why and, if necessary, whether extra work is involved and any additional costs. Will be using for annual service and clean of treatment plant going forward over other providers.

    Can’t recommend Cotswold Drainage enough. They were super responsive and came out to us on a bank holiday weekend to fix a blockage. Adrian is a huge credit to their company - he was so knowledgable, friendly and professional. You’ll be our first port of call in the future!
