Missing evidence lowers the score because we can't check it. It doesn't mean it doesn't exist. Claiming a profile never changes the score. Evidence context, not a guarantee of workmanship.

Highlights
“This company is so efficient- in minutes of my enquiry they contacted myself and I organised the date and time for them to come and see the job then they did everything they could to fit in with my schedule, nothing was to much trouble for them.”
“Our sewage pump failed - we contacted James and he came out exactly when he said he would. Communication was good - and the pump was replaced in good time. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company. Tony near Caersws.”
“I found James and his team very helpful, we didn't have to worry about anything, James liaised with seven trent water obtained all permission for shutting the road down, and just got the job done. James wasn't the cheapest but he definitely wasn't the most expensive we had some shockingly high quotes. We had years of problems on a septic tank, now we have a pump station that takes all our waste to an inspection chamber 80 meters up the lane that connects to the public sewer, we have enjoyed just over three years of no more dyno rod bills. I have already recommend James and will continue to do so.”

We have used JP Drainage for various work over the last few years and would would wholeheartedly recommend them. There work and knowledge is excellent and very competitively priced. They have have always turned up when they said they would and are always very pleasant and accommodating.
Excellent workmanship, did what he said he was going to do for the price he said he would do it. Not hidden surprises and excellent advice along the way
James and his team were superb and did a very nice job of installing our new septic tank and drainage system. They delivered everything that we needed including percolation tests for the drainage field and full building regs certification. Their work ethic was first class and we were kept informed of progress at all times. I highly recommend this company.
I have recommended this company (James) to many people in the area. Before replacing our tank and drainage field - James listened to what we wanted, explained the options (far clearer than the other larger company that gave a quote), made sure we were happy with the plan and price before starting. They were very efficient, did an excellent job - and very tidy - clearing all the mess (particularly important for us as the drainage field is our lawn. And importantly - James is extremely trustworthy - we were happy to leave him at the property when we were out. I would have no hesitation in recommending this company.

What to check before you hire
Worth checking yourself
Always confirm credentials and quotes with the business directly before hiring.
Get an itemised quote that separates plants and materials, any machinery or skip hire, and labour. A vague 'garden makeover' lump sum hides where the money goes and makes extra charges easy to add later.
Be wary of paying a large sum up front 'for materials'. Agree staged payments against work you can see completed, especially for hard landscaping like patios, decking, paving or driveways.
Tree work and anything near a boundary can be regulated. Protected trees and conservation areas often need permission, and removing a protected tree can be an offence. Confirm what is allowed, and that they carry public-liability insurance, before work starts.
