Excellent service, thats how its done folks.
Noticed an issue with waste water drainage at home on the Sunday after Christmas....typical bad timing. Quick call to the Shepheard mobile number at 8am (answered straight away) and fill in simple … More online booking that replied booking accepted: that was handy to put the families mind at ease help was on the way. 6:40am the next day confirmatory text "Vincenzo" was on his way, 20 mins out. What a ripper bloke, Vince was very efficient, professional, full of reassurance and knowledge on our setup, left me a few solid suggestions on what i could do to improve our tanks (seal them properly with concrete to prevent roots growing in again, remove vegetation and sand over the lids, make metal boundary for tank inspection port), all of which i did after he left. Tanks, accessible pipework, leach drains and overall jobsite left spotless, very consciousness bloke of his work truck and environment (cautious of not getting the vac truck bogged in soft sand on our property) just someone who thought about it all first before bashing on.
HIGHLY recommend and will be getting them back out in 3-5yrs for next service. -
Fantastic service. Responded on a Sunday and sent Vince out with their super truck on Monday. Cannot speak highly enough of Vince, so thorough, so polite and not phased by anything. Left no mess and whilst the root cause of the problem … More is beyond Vince’s scope he was able to offer plenty of solid advice. Absolutely highly recommended.

I highly recommend these guys, obviously I had an issue with my septic system, contacted them and within 24 hours the team arrived. Even before they arrived the professionalism was evident, a call beforehand confirming how far away they … More were, once they arrived they guys continued with the high level of workmanship. The entire process was actually a pleasant experience (even when dealing with the unmentionables....) Not much more to say really, I had a problem, the guys sorted it very quickly and professionally. Definitely at least 5 stars all round, I highly recommend this local company 👍
