Learn moreWhy Choose UKDP for Septic Tank Services in Birmingham?
Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway is about 8 miles from Birmingham, and our engineers come to you. Almost all homes in the city itself are on mains sewers, so the septic tanks Birmingham homeowners call us about are on the rural edge and in the villages beyond it. We know the clay ground there and how Severn Trent's network works, so the job is designed right first time.
We've been trading since 2009 and look after septic tanks, treatment plants and soakaways for homes around Birmingham, including Meriden, Hampton in Arden, Barston, Wythall, Hopwood and Shenstone.

What our customers say
Faced with daunting problems with our septic tank, and refusal by the insurance company to honour the claim, we turned to UKDP. Rob Brindley and the team took up our case and throughout a protracted period, due to insurance prevarication and very poor treatment and attitude by the insurers, Rob was totally professional, communicative, and tenacious on our behalf. It was a very long fight to get the insurance claim settled, but we won, thanks to Rob and UKDP. They moved heaven and earth (literally) to get a new sewage treatment plant installed before Christmas. Gareth and his team worked tirelessly and efficiently on the installation with minimum disruption. We can't thank Rob and everyone enough for their hard work.
A very professional company. Always return calls and get the job done. Would highly recommend to any customer.
We needed a survey on the septic tank prior to us buying a house. UKDP solutions were professional and so helpful regarding this matter. We appreciated their guidance and efficiency the report was completed in one day.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Birmingham?
Empty your septic tank at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Much of the ground south of the city drains slowly, so a blocked drainage field there is slow to recover.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Birmingham?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. If your insurer has turned a claim down, we can review the policy and take the claim on for you.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Birmingham?
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 Birmingham?
Severn Trent looks after the public sewers that serve Birmingham. If your home isn't connected, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements around the city.
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 low ground near the Tame, underground water can also leave a drainage field wet, so get it checked before assuming the tank has failed.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Birmingham?
Yes. Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway is about 8 miles from Birmingham, 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.
