Wrekin Drain Services in short

Wrekin Drain Services is a Telford drainage firm working from Hortonwood, with septic-tank emptying and cleaning, soakaways and drainage fields sitting inside a wide brief of unblocking, camera surveys and jetting. An active limited company with sewerage as its stated trade sits behind the name, and five scheme memberships are stated on its own website. A round-the-clock emergency line completes a file built for callers who want one local number.

Customers rate Wrekin Drain Services well: 4.7 from 77 Google reviews forms the headline figure, and no other review source sits on record. This review reads that as a solid base for a local drainage outfit — broad rather than deep, with the company record and stated memberships standing beside the stars.

What counts against it in our view is unpublished insurance and pricing, plus a headline experience claim the company record does not match. Neither gap stops an emptying booking, but both leave questions only the firm can answer.
