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 absolutely recommend this Company. Great communication, helpful and polite staff, I was kept well informed of what was going on and when, and the septic tank installation was perfect with very little mess or disruption. Thank you UKDP.
A very professional company. Always return calls and get the job done. Would highly recommend to any customer.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Brentwood?
Empty your septic tank at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. If your home sits on the clay outside the town centre, keep it regular, because a clogged drainage field there drains even more slowly.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Brentwood?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We check your policy and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Brentwood?
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 Brentwood?
Anglian Water and Thames Water only look 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 across Brentwood and its villages.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up, or boggy ground over the drainage field. In the Wid valley, waterlogged ground after heavy rain can look like a failing drainage field, so we check before recommending any work.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Brentwood?
Yes. Our Burgess Hill depot is about 50 miles from Brentwood, 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.
