Above and beyond.
The team went above and beyond to make sure they were able to provide the information we needed, really appreciate their professionalism and the information supplied is first rate.
Engineer arrived on time
Engineer arrived on time, carried out work and gave me a verbal report on completion of what he had done. Follow up certificate emailed promptly.
Friendly, efficient, professional
We had awful smells coming out of our drains in our house. Nigel responded really quickly and popped around to take a look before quoting. He quickly found the issue, arranged for my tank to be emptied, a new part ordered and fitted all super quickly, with great communication. Really friendly team. Will definitely use again (although hopefully won't need to!).
Professional and efficient
Professional and efficient. Clear and easy to read reporting.
Excellent service and we would have no hesitation in recommending Smart-Drainage.
Bit of a strange request
Bit of a strange request,
Blockage in underground pond pipe, called and spoke to Thomas, gave him all the information he managed to get Nigel to come straight out he was courteous and got straight on with the job, using the jet carefully he managed to get out the silt and compacted waste. Pumps been running for an hour so all good, very happy thank you all.
Septic tank emptying
No problem except driver had to arrive much later than originally arranged and guests were anxious to use their parking slot before darkness fell but could not access until driver finished.
Great service and really helpful driver…
Great service and really helpful driver sorted out my overflowing septic tank no problem could not fault service definitely recommend them
Great Service !!
Very helpful team who were able to come…
Very helpful team who were able to come and empty our septic tank the same week at short notice; they also rod cleared our pipe for no extra charge and advised on pitch fibre relining options. Always a somewhat expensive service, but delivered promptly and professionally. Would absolutely use these guys again.
survey for conveyance
Nigel did a very detailed survey of the drainage for a house we eventually bought. The report was excellent and timely and we subsequently were able to negotiate the price of the house down based on his survey. Would recommend Nigel to everyone.
The weather conditions were quite…
The weather conditions were quite challenging, but the Smart Drainage team steadily carried out the installation of a new treatment plant. The whole process from initial survey to completion was efficient.
Good service provided
Two nice guys. Turned up before the scheduled time. I left them to it but my partner hung around until they had finished, and he said they left the septic tank nice and clean by hosing it thoroughly down and just did a good job
Quick and efficient
Prompt, efficient and would recommend to all. Driver was very polite and also provided good feedback that the tank was working well
Quick and Efficient. Thanks to Nigel and his team
Nigel the boss came around within 24hrs of requesting a site visit. He was very thorough and guided us through the works with no pressure for a treatment plant and drainage to replace our out of date septic tank. We took up the work which was due to be done in Jan 2024. A couple of weeks later Nigel rang to say they had an earlier slot and we accepted. Work commenced two weeks later and I found that the work carried out was very efficient with a minimal amount of disruption. I would recommend Smart Drainage to anybody. Thanks very much to your team.
This is the second time we’ve used…
This is the second time we’ve used smart drainage. It turned out to be a little complicated but the team especially the 2 who came on the final day did a superb job, they used technology to resolve the issue and delivered exactly what we needed to sort out the issues and left us very happy listening to water flowing through the new drainage system . Great team great Company.
Really quick and easy to deal with
Prompt professional service.
