What our customers say
We, like many others it appears, benefitted from Rob and UKDP's experience and professionalism. Rob's interaction with our insurers on our behalf was invaluable! Where our insurers prevaricated and delayed, he pushed and urged response, advising and updating me at all times - and we got there in the end, with the right, fair and reasonable outcome. I would not be able to recommend Rob highly enough. Thanks for all your assistance Rob !
We want to thank UKDP and the team, Matt, Rob, Paul and Ash, that were involved in the installation of our new sewage treatment plant. They were amazingly efficient and very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They worked incredibly hard and were excellent in what they did. They are a fantastic team and they communicated really well at each step. They completed a challenging project, in an exemplary way, in just three days. They are highly commendable and highly recommended.
Thank you to Rob Brindley and UKDP. Months of hard work to achieve the required outcome. Verbal feedback weekly, having hit challenges every step of the way. I would highly recommend. Thank you again.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Arundel?
Empty your septic tank at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On the soft ground of the Arun valley, a clogged drainage field recovers slowly, so don't leave it.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Arundel?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We check your policy and help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Arundel?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch, so if yours does, it needs upgrading to the mains sewer, a drainage field or a treatment plant. A permit may also be needed near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Arundel?
Southern Water looks after the public sewers around Arundel. If your septic tank serves only your home, it's yours, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements across the town and the Arun valley.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up, or boggy ground over the drainage field. Near the Arun, wet ground after winter rain can look like a failing drainage field, so get it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Arundel?
Yes. Our depot at Ford is just outside Arundel, and our engineers come to you. Call us on 0800 028 9903.
How much does a septic tank inspection cost near me?
A septic tank inspection costs £399 including VAT. Emptying, where needed, is charged separately.
