Our verdict

Our verdict: a credible Telford-based choice for blocked drains, surveys and septic work, with a public company record and a broad kit list [2][1]. We rate the local depot and the review volume as strengths because both are evidenced and dated [3][1]. Before booking, confirm one thing: whether waste is taken off site on your job and who carries the licence for it.

Strengths

  • Companies House shows WREKIN DRAIN SERVICES LTD active since 24 July 2012 with sewerage as its stated trade, matching the Hortonwood address on the site [2][1].

  • The service list covers the jobs Telford callers ask about: blockages, CCTV and homebuyer surveys, jetting, patch repairs, soakaways, septic tanks and pumping stations, with a 24/7 emergency line [1].

  • The Google listing shows 4.7 from 77 reviews, seen 3 September 2026, a solid volume for a single-depot firm [3].

Limitations

  • The site claims over 30 years' experience and several badges, but the company record dates to 2012 [1][2].

  • No insurance details and no call-out fee or rates are published, so ask for the certificate and the attendance price before the van moves [1].
