What our customers say
Highly recommend UKDP. Rob was instrumental in resolving a complex insurance claim on my behalf. He took on all the liaison with the insurer, greatly reducing the administration I had to carry out (and reducing my stress levels in the process!). His advice was accurate and he kept me fully appraised of progress each week. Really great service.
Thank you so much to Rob, Ash, Paul, Graham and Henry, such an amazingly efficient team. They arrived destroyed, replaced and finished to a better standard than we had before. They took one and a half days to put a new sewage treatment plant in and leave it looking like new and so tidy. Materials arrived when they were needed so there was no time wasting. A lovely, diligent and professional team.
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 Bicester?
Empty your septic tank at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On slow-draining ground, don't let it overfill: solids block the drainage field, and wet ground gives it little chance to recover.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Bicester?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear or lack of maintenance. We check your policy and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Bicester?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch, such as the Bure or the local brooks, 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 Bicester?
Thames Water only looks after the public sewers. If your home isn't on the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements in and around Bicester.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up, or boggy ground over the drainage field. On slow-draining ground, a wet patch can just be rain with nowhere to go, so get it checked before assuming the tank has failed.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Bicester?
Yes. Our Birmingham depot is about 46 miles from Bicester. 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.
