Why install a sewage treatment plant?

Upgrading or installing a sewage treatment plant is a significant investment, one that requires careful planning, technical expertise, and full compliance with environmental regulations. With more than 50 years of industry experience, Owls Hall Environmental is recognised as one of the UK’s leading providers of wastewater system installations.

Approximately 4% of UK properties are not connected to mains drainage. In these cases, a sewage treatment plant or septic tank is essential. Modern treatment plants provide a highly effective alternative to traditional septic tanks, producing a clean final effluent suitable for discharge into natural watercourses such as ditches or streams.

What Should you Expect During a Sewage Treatment Plant Installation?

Why Septic Tanks Are Replaced

You may need to replace your septic tank if:

  • It discharges directly into a watercourse (now illegal since 2020)
  • The tank is damaged, leaking, or no longer functioning
  • It is non-compliant with current Environment Agency rules
  • You are preparing to sell your property and must demonstrate compliance

Our engineers can carry out a full inspection and provide a clear, costed plan for bringing your system up to standard.

Since 2020, discharging untreated wastewater into surface water is prohibited. Upgrading to a modern sewage treatment plant removes this risk, safeguards the environment, and ensures legal compliance.

Expert Guidance from Start to Finish

Whether replacing an outdated system or installing a new one, our specialist team provide clear, practical support at every stage. As an independent company, we offer truly unbiased advice, helping you select the most suitable system for your property and budget.

Our Installation Process

Before any work begins, we will arrange a site survey to understand your property and requirements. This ensures accurate specification and a smooth installation.

During the survey, we assess:

  • Ground conditions and suitability for the proposed system
  • The adherence of a new system to current legislation or requirements for a permit.
  • Access for machinery and installation vehicles
  • Existing drainage layout and utilities
  • Required excavation and reinstatement work
  • Any testing required on site

Measurements are taken to allow us to prepare a detailed, transparent quotation.

Installation Steps

Step 1 – Understanding Your Needs
We ask key questions about the property, water usage, ground type, and existing systems.

Step 2 – Quotation
You receive a written quotation outlining the recommended system, installation method, and total cost.

Step 3 – Booking Your Installation
If you choose to proceed, a deposit is taken. We then schedule your installation and order the required equipment.

Step 4 – Handover following completion

Upon completion of your installation, one of our service engineers will check over the system, sign it off and spend time with you answering any questions you might have regarding usage and ownership of your new treatment system.

Minimising Disruption

Most installations require excavation and some unavoidable disruption. Our engineers take great care to protect your grounds with mats and boarding wherever possible. Turf can be lifted and re-laid, and driveways or pathways reinstated sympathetically.
