What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Shotton Waste Services handles septic tank and sewage work around Oxford, and the accounts left by customers point to a friendly, dependable operation. Efficiency during a septic tank replacement is singled out more than once, with the swap being completed quickly and without drama. A recurring point concerns ongoing tank management: householders report that the team keeps both a main waste system and a smaller unit for a shepherd's hut in good order, treating each visit as part of a continuing relationship rather than a one-off call-out.

People new to this kind of maintenance say they were talked through what was happening and given useful, practical pointers on looking after their systems, which they found reassuring. An emergency call-out also features in the feedback, with the response described as helpful and met with real appreciation. Reliability runs through the accounts, as does the sense that staff take the time to explain things and check that everything is working as it should. The work is characterised as quick, tidy and carried out by people who clearly know their trade.

These guys really look after you! We have had a 5 star service for our waste/septic tank management and for our Shepherds hut smaller tank. We are newbies to this service and they have been kind, helpful and offer lots of great advice. They even helped us with an emergency recently and we were so grateful. We love them!
