Advanced Wastewater & Drainage in short

Advanced Wastewater and Drainage works from Cosford Business Park near Shifnal, listing septic-tank and cesspool emptying, sludge removal and emergency clearances with advice on scheduled emptying. Round-the-clock contact runs through a phone line, an email address and a message form. The firm claims long experience with trained and licensed staff.

Customers rate Advanced Wastewater and Drainage at 4.8 from 16 Google reviews, the only review source on record. This review reads that as a respectable headline from a small base — enough to note, too little to lean on.

What counts against it in our view is how much of the file rests on the firm's own words: no licence reference, company number, insurance detail or prices are published for this round.

Our verdict

Our verdict: Advanced Wastewater suits you if you want emptying on a schedule with emergency clearances from a Shifnal base, backed by a detailed septic service page [2]. What counts against it is unpublished licensing, company, insurance and pricing detail, so more of the file rests on the firm's own words [2] [3].
