After initial assessment I was told it was a two man job who duly arrived in a couple of days with a jetting machine to clear the limescale. They worked very hard to jet the blockage one in the bathroom one outside at the manhole with the jetter. When they were satisfied the soilpipe was clear they inserted a camera so we could all see the there was now no obstruction. They were pleasant and informed me what was happening all the time, I would recommend them to others.

Off-mains drainage systems keep rural properties running smoothly, but managing wastewater requires specialist care. From annual emptying and soakaway unblocking to full septic tank installations, DIY work risks severe soil contamination, legal fines, and costly backups. Hiring a professional septic tank specialist ensures your system remains compliant with UK Environment Agency General Binding Rules, reliable, and hygienic.

Other septic tanks - installation / emptying / cleaning FAQs

Can a septic tank discharge directly into a stream or river?
No. Under the Environment Agency's General Binding Rules, it is illegal for a traditional septic tank to discharge directly into a surface watercourse (like a stream, ditch, or river). If your system discharges to surface water, you must upgrade to a small sewage treatment plant or install a compliant drainage field.
How often does a septic tank need to be emptied?
Most domestic septic tanks need to be professionally emptied (de-sludged) once a year. If your tank requires emptying every few months, it usually indicates a blocked soak-away, groundwater ingress, or an undersized system for your household's water usage.
What should I check when buying a house with a septic tank?
Never rely solely on a standard homebuyer's survey. Commission a full pre-purchase CCTV drainage survey, request service records for annual emptying, check if any pipework crosses neighbouring land, and verify that the discharge method complies with current UK environmental regulations.

Matthew was easy to communicate with he was honest about the job and not put off by the private lane access - which meant all materials had to come down lane and through the house they were tidy - professional and attention to detail It was also very refreshing to see a trade man that had enough professional ability to only require £250 Deposit to hold date - did not need materials paid up front as he clearly runs a good cash flow company with good trade accounts. Total professional and lovely Gentleman.

We had them in to install insulation in our upstairs floor, replace the sub floor, replace some lights, install a loft hatch, and board out our loft. On top of this they discovered a problem in our roof that they fixed. We were incredibly impressed by all of the staff that attended on site. They were friendly, polite at all times, and worked really hard, to a high standard. I couldn't recommend James and his team more, and we've already started talking to them about a further project.
