What our customers say
Having experienced a collapsed septic tank and not knowing how to proceed, I engaged UKDP Solutions to handle the claim. Absolutely brilliant service from first contact through to new installation. Without their expertise and professionalism (Rob in particular), I have no doubt the insurance claim would not have been successful. The installation of the new sewage treatment plant by Below Ground Solutions (another first class company) went superbly, ably coordinated by UKDP. Highly recommended!
Rob and his collegues kept me informed at every stage in the process and efficiently coordinated with everyone involved. Friendly and professional service. Happy to recommend.
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 Derby?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On the mudstone around Derby a drainage field recovers slowly once solids get into it, so a yearly visit is the simplest way to protect it.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Derby?
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 Derby?
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 the River Mease. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Derby?
Severn Trent looks after the public sewers in Derby. 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 in the villages around the city.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and boggy ground over the drainage field. Near the Derwent or Trent, a wet drainage field after a flood may be river water rather than a failing tank, so get it checked first.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Derby?
Yes. Our Beeston depot in Nottingham is about 11 miles from Derby, 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.
