We cannot speak highly enough of UKDP Solutions for all their efforts on our behalf. Over a protracted period Rob Brindley worked tirelessly for us and it is thanks to him that there was a successful outcome to our insurance claim. He kept us informed at every stage and we are very grateful for his expertise and guidance. We would highly recommend UKDP.
Water treatment plant installed neatly and efficiently by a really great team. They were a pleasure to have on site and the whole experience was painless. Would not hesitate to recommend.
I had a really good service from UKDP from the start of the process through to the end, easy to contact and available, covered all areas of the issue including the Environment Agency and Building control. The contractors used were polite and professional so all good. I'm very pleased with UKDP and would be happy to recommend them.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Burgess Hill?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Burgess Hill's clay can't absorb much, so once solids reach the drainage field it rarely recovers on its own.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Burgess Hill?
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 Burgess Hill?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch, and if yours does, you need to upgrade to the mains sewer, a drainage field or a treatment plant. A permit may be needed near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites, such as Ditchling Common. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Burgess Hill?
Southern Water looks after the public sewers. If your home isn't on the mains, your septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements from our depot in the town.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and boggy ground over the drainage field. On Burgess Hill's clay, surface water can pool after heavy rain, so a smell as well as wet ground is the surer sign.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Burgess Hill?
Yes. Our Burgess Hill depot is right here in Burgess Hill, 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.
