What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Domestic sewage removal for households around Aberdeen has been Taylors Industrial Services' mainstay for many customers, some of whom describe decades of repeat custom. Prompt, reliable tanker visits recur throughout the feedback, with crews arriving when expected and completing the work without fuss. Sean and Charlie are named repeatedly as knowledgeable and pleasant, a credit to the company, while drop-off and collection of equipment are praised as professional and courteous. Reviewers frequently mention the speed of the service, describing call-outs handled quickly and jobs finished efficiently.

Waste collection, recycling and shredding sit alongside the tanker work, and this range is noted by customers who return over many years. The picture is not uniformly favourable, however. Several accounts describe a quotation system based on hours and travel time from the depot, which was not explained beforehand, leaving bills well above the figure discussed and higher than other quotes obtained. Dangerous driving also features in the feedback, including a near-miss in a filtering lane and aggressive use of the horn. The lasting impression is of capable, well-liked tanker crews whose charging method and conduct on the road have drawn criticism.

Drivers are seriously dangerous after nearly not abiding by filtering lane, abuses their horn. I think the driver of Sv73 oab needs to relearn the highway code and to not sit behind a car while using his truck as a weapon

Cannot fault the service. Very good and professional. Septic tank cleaned out, site tidied up. Great job.

When getting a quote, be very careful to ask how for a travel time estimate. Don’t just tell them where you live as my cost was £150 more than expected and was in the end more expensive than every other quote because of the way they price. On the positive, the driver was excellent.

Today we have had our septic tank cleaned, when we phoned for a quote we believed this company was close to where we lived. We asked for a quote and phoned a number of companies, we booked with this company believing they were the best price. When they quote you, they do it by the hour.... What they failed to tell us they are not local to Ellon and they charge for the time they set off driving. What we believed would cost between £250 - £300 cost over £400. We had other quotes a lot cheaper than this... So lesson learnt.. Shame because the driver was pleasant and efficient at his job.
