We've used them for years to empty our commercial cesspit tank, they're always efficient and friendly, we occasionally price up alternatives to check we're not paying over the odds and Whitkirk is always the best value for us.

Great at taking your money and your waste away, TERRIBLE at paying their bills!!! They don't like paying bills and unfortunately think its ok to dictate their own terms of payment when they've requested your service. NEVER carry out any work for this company as they will resist pay as much as they can, alongside this they may even send out remittance advice stating how much and when they will pay only to completely ignore their own word. A company to avoid doing business with at all costs. It would appear the management staff are untrustworthy liars.
