What our customers say
I cannot recommend UKDP and Rob in particular more highly for the patience and persistence in dealing with our insurers over what has been a long and stressful process to get our claim approved. If it had not been for Rob's knowledge and commitment I am sure we would be in a different place. He has been extremely good at keeping us updated about progress (or lack of it at times which I know he found as frustrating as we did) and has been persistent in his dealings with the insurers which has finally paid off. Thank you Rob!
I just wanted to thank UKDP for what was an excellent experience with our new drainage installation. Nick, Gav, Jack, Andy and Liam were very professional and provided an excellent service. They were knowledgeable, helpful, considerate and above all good humoured which goes a long way!
I cannot fault the tremendous work carried out by UKDP. From start to finish, all involved exhibited a professional, dedicated and high standard of work ethic. They treated my property with the utmost respect.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Basingstoke?
Empty your septic tank at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Basingstoke sits on chalk that holds underground water, so regular emptying keeps solids out of the drainage field and protects the water below.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Basingstoke?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We check the policy wording and can help with the claim from start to finish.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Basingstoke?
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 Basingstoke?
Thames Water looks after the public sewers in Basingstoke. A septic tank or treatment plant on your land is yours, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements around the town.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up, or boggy ground over the drainage field. Around Basingstoke, rising underground water in a wet winter can stop a soakaway working, so slow drains then may not mean the tank has failed.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Basingstoke?
Yes. Our depot at Ford, near Arundel, is about 38 miles from Basingstoke, 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.
