What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Around Milton Keynes, R Wright & Son Waste Services is described by customers as a dependable name for septic tank and effluent work, with several returning year after year for emptying and servicing. Darren is the individual whose name comes up most often, portrayed as patient when a tank proves awkward to find and generous with his time once on site. Customers value the practical guidance he provides on how a system works and on adjusting emptying intervals for a problematic tank.

Speed of response is a recurring theme, with one account of an early call being answered and the team arriving shortly afterwards, while the wider crew is called efficient, reliable and flexible. Hard-to-access tanks appear frequently in feedback, and the work is said to leave pipes and drains clear and running freely. Charges are regarded as fair considering the knowledge and heavy-duty equipment required. Hiring an effluent tank during a house build also features. Friendliness and being easy to deal with are noted, along with one remark that such personal attention is now uncommon.

Darren of R Wright & Son Ltd skillfully diagnosed the maintenance needed on our drainage system, fixed all the 'slow to drain' issues within a short time which was not that straightforward to do, charged a modest amount considering the knowledge, skill and heavy duty equipment needed for this type of work. I learned much about our house in a short time and am grateful to Daren of R Wright & Son for his help. We are already booking an appointment for December. I would highly recommend R Wright & Son as everything we experienced exceeded our expectations. Thank you!

We hired an effluent tank during our house build and I contacted Darren to empty it. I cannot recommend Darren and his team highly enough. They were incredibly responsive, couldn’t do enough for us and their customer service was fantastic. Thank you for everything Darren.
