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.

Septic-tank and cesspool emptying with sludge removal and emergency clearances make up the core list, backed by scheduled-emptying advice and a detailed service page. The firm works from Cosford Business Park near Shifnal across Telford and Shropshire. A phone line, an email address and a round-the-clock message form take bookings.

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. No other review source sits on record, so the headline is worth noting without leaning on until the base grows.

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. In our view the scheduled-rounds offer still suits repeat bookings, with the firm's own words doing most of the talking and the missing company record as the gap that matters most.

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 What counts against it is unpublished licensing, company, insurance and pricing detail, so more of the file rests on the firm's own words [2] [3].

Questions about Advanced Wastewater & Drainage

Is Advanced Wastewater and Drainage any good?

On the evidence, fair for scheduled work: it ranks fifth in our Telford septic table, holds 4.8 from 16 Google reviews and runs emptying rounds with emergency clearances from a Shifnal base [4] [2]. A detailed septic service page sits behind the listing [2]. Unpublished licensing, company, insurance and pricing detail are the gaps.

Is Advanced Wastewater and Drainage on a trade register?

Industry qualifications can't be sourced from the registers, the website or the platforms checked [2]. The site speaks of trained and licensed staff without naming a scheme or licence reference [2]. No registration number appears anywhere on the fetched pages. Ask the firm to name the scheme before you book. The scorecard records the claim exactly as stated.

What does Advanced Wastewater and Drainage charge?

No prices, rates, call-out fee, free-quote offer or VAT position are published on the fetched pages [2] [3]. That leaves every figure to the enquiry, so describe the tank and the access fully when you ask. Get the total with VAT and the extras in writing before you agree a date. The scorecard records the gap as missing pricing detail.

Where does Advanced Wastewater and Drainage work?

The firm works from Cosford Business Park near Shifnal across Telford and Shropshire, with septic and cesspool emptying at its core [2].

Cover checks run through the same routes.

How is Advanced Wastewater and Drainage ranked?

It ranks fifth of the six septic firms in our September round, the pick for scheduled emptying rounds and emergency clearances. A detailed service page carries it above a thinner domestic rival.

How do I get a quote from Advanced Wastewater and Drainage?

Phone, email or the round-the-clock message form all reach the firm [3]. Describe the tank, the access and whether you want a one-off empty or scheduled rounds. No prices or VAT position are published, so the reply sets every figure [2] [3]. Say whether the lane to the property suits a tanker before you fix a date.

How does Advanced Wastewater and Drainage compare with the other Telford septic firms?
