Raising standards in the drainage industry across Kent
At R. Harvey Drainage, we're proud to announce that we are now a DrainSafe Approved Contractor, joining a growing network of independently assessed drainage specialists committed to delivering the highest standards of workmanship, safety and customer service.
This accreditation is another important milestone for our family-run business and reflects our ongoing investment in quality, compliance and professional standards.
What is DrainSafe?
DrainSafe is an industry-led quality scheme developed by the National Association of Drainage Contractors (NADC)to help homeowners, businesses, local authorities and water companies identify competent, trusted drainage contractors.
Becoming a DrainSafe Approved Contractor isn't simply a case of joining a register. Contractors must demonstrate that they meet recognised standards covering areas such as:
Technical competence
Health & Safety
Appropriate insurance
Training and qualifications
Professional business practices
Customer care
Ongoing compliance
The aim is to give customers confidence that they are choosing a drainage contractor who has been independently assessed against recognised industry standards.
Why does this matter?
Unfortunately, the drainage industry has traditionally had very little regulation, making it difficult for customers to distinguish between experienced professionals and unqualified operators.
DrainSafe has been created to help change that.
By choosing a DrainSafe Approved Contractor, customers can have greater confidence that they are working with a company committed to professionalism, continuous improvement and recognised industry best practice.
Supporting the future of the UK drainage industry
