Approximately 4% of UK properties are not connected to mains drainage. In these cases, a sewage treatment plant or septic tank is essential.

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.

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.
