What our customers have to say

“I have been using Thistle for just under 6 months, I am a site manager with around 100 workers on site daily. We first used Thistle for an emergency empty because we had been let down, ever since then we have worked together with empties and now have a great week routine. They have been very flexible and extremely professional.”

Lee W
“We use Thistle tanks for the large welfare unit we have on site. We have it emptied twice a week on set arranged days. The staff are always very friendly and helpful, with each job completed thoroughly.”

Peter Williams
“We have a effluent tank at the bottom of our garden with limited access, we contacted thistle tanks as we have had issues with the tank being emptied properly by another company. They came out to site initially to see first hand what was needed. The tanker came that afternoon and the job was done first time and very professionally”
