What our customers say
Rob and the team were excellent throughout the process of both submitting the original claim for our septic tank replacement and subsequently organising the team who did the work. Rob always kept us in the picture and was also direct/straight re potential outcomes etc. Would definitely recommend as this is a field that requires specialist expertise to reach the right outcome.
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.
Exceptional support. Guided me through a challenging time with a warm and incredibly helpful attitude. Highly recommend their service.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Herefordshire?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Regular emptying also keeps solids out of the drainage field, which is slow to recover on mudstone ground.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Herefordshire?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We look through your policy and can help with your claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Herefordshire?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch; if yours does, it needs upgrading to the mains sewer, a drainage field or a sewage treatment plant. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources, such as a private well, or protected wildlife sites like the Wye and the Lugg. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Herefordshire?
Your water company looks after the public sewers. If your home isn't on the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours, and so is the upkeep of any ditch beside your land, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements across Herefordshire.
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 Wye and the Lugg, wet ground after high river levels may be floodwater rather than a failing tank, so get it checked first.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Herefordshire?
Yes. We cover Herefordshire from our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway, 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.
