Advanced Wastewater & Drainage in short
Advanced Wastewater & Drainage works from Shifnal on the off-mains jobs general vans avoid: treatment plants, septic tanks, cesspools and tankering, plus camera surveys and jetting. Named customer testimonials from the Telford area carry specific job detail and read as genuine local history. Round-the-clock availability is stated with a phone number and a published email address. If your home runs off-mains near Shifnal, this is the natural first call.
The record shows a Shifnal base with a stated patch across Telford and the wider county, reached by phone and a published email address. The scope is off-mains throughout: treatment-plant installation and refurbishment, septic-tank and cesspool emptying, tankering and pollution prevention, with camera surveys and jetting alongside. Round-the-clock availability is stated.
Customers rate the firm well: 4.8 from 16 Google reviews. There is no other review source on record, so the Google record carries the story alone. Industry qualifications cannot be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked.
What counts against it is the missing company record, insurance detail and prices, which leaves the thinnest formal file in the assessed set. Our view is that Advanced Wastewater & Drainage earns its place for septic work on specialism alone, and the legal name and the waste-carrier licence are the things to pin down. That file is thin, but the specialism is real and local.
Our verdict
Our verdict: the natural first call in this round for septic tanks and treatment plants, where specialism matters more than review volume [1]. We rate the off-mains focus and the detailed testimonials as strengths because both are specific to the published pages [1].

Industry qualifications
Can't be sourced. We looked at the issuing registers, the business's own website and platforms such as Checkatrade and Which? Trusted Traders and found no scheme membership or registration to record.
Strengths
The specialist scope — installing and refurbishing treatment plants, emptying septic tanks and cesspools, tankering and pollution prevention — matches the off-mains work the hiring guide says needs a specialist [1].
Named customer testimonials from the Telford area with specific job detail read as genuine local history [1].
Round-the-clock availability is stated with a phone number and a published email address [1].
Limitations
No company number, trading-years figure, insurance details or prices are published, and no accreditation is named [1]. Company, insurance and pricing gaps are scored as insufficient evidence, not as failings.
The matching limited company could not be confirmed, so ask for the legal name and the waste-carrier licence before waste leaves your site [1][3].

Questions about Advanced Wastewater & Drainage
Is Advanced Wastewater & Drainage any good?
On the evidence, yes for off-mains work: seventh in our drainage table as the round's septic and treatment-plant specialist, with solid Google reviews and detailed local testimonials. Specialism matters more than volume here. Read the full review, then call with your tank or plant details. Specialism is the argument here rather than volume.
Is Advanced Wastewater & Drainage registered with a trade scheme?

Ask the firm for its legal name and its waste-carrier licence before waste leaves your site. Get both answers in writing before anything is moved. Cover and company detail are the gaps to close first.
What does Advanced Wastewater & Drainage charge?
No call-out fee, rates, free-quote or VAT statement was found on the fetched pages. That means your written quote does all the talking.
