Without a mains sewer, your wastewater has to be treated and returned to the ground on your own land. Every part of the system has to suit your soil.
Whether you're selling, buying, building or dealing with a system that's failed, we find out what the ground will take and give you a solution that meets the rules.
A site visit, trial holes and percolation tests to understand existing site characteristics and constraints.
We design the system, submit the building regulations application and check it meets the Environment Agency rules.
Our own diggers and crew fit the plant and drainage field, typically in a few days, and reinstate the ground.
We can arrange annual servicing and emptying through trusted local partners, so your system stays compliant and trouble-free.
We take care of the whole job professionally, from the first test to the final sign-off, and we keep you informed at every stage. You get clear advice, a fixed price and a system built to last.
If your septic tank discharges directly to a ditch, stream or other watercourse, it doesn't meet the General Binding Rules and must be upgraded or replaced. Buyer and seller should agree who does this as part of the sale, and lenders may refuse a mortgage until it's resolved. We can tell you where you stand and what the fix would cost.
It measures how quickly your soil absorbs water. The result tells us whether a drainage field will work on your site and how large it needs to be. Building control, and increasingly planning officers, ask for it before approving a new system.
Heavy clay or a high water table doesn't mean you're stuck. Options include a raised mound, a different location on the site, or a treatment plant discharging elsewhere with the right permit. We'll set out what's possible.
Most domestic installations take a few days on site once approvals are in place. Very wet weather can delay work on clay ground, and we'll plan around it.
