What our customers say
First and foremost, YES, I would recommend this company. Secondly, Rob was brilliant. Our insurance claim has taken 20 months to resolve; during this time, Rob has kept us up to date throughout. He displayed determination and patience to achieve a positive outcome. Thanks again.
Huge thanks to Rob, Paul, Ash, Graham and Matt for a superb job. We approached the installation of our new tank with some trepidation - ours is a complex and ancient property and we love our garden by the river. However, the team did the job quickly, with great skill and energy, and were invariably friendly, helpful and cheerful.
Excellent service and attention to detail throughout the process. Rob kept us informed at all times and was both tenacious and astute. I have no hesitation in recommending UKDP.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Horsham?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Horsham's clay drains slowly, so emptying on time stops solids clogging your drainage field.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Horsham?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. For homes around Horsham, we go through the policy with you and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Horsham?
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, including private wells and springs, or protected wildlife sites. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Horsham?
Southern Water looks after the public sewers around Horsham. If your home has its own septic tank or treatment plant, it's yours to look after, and UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements across the district.
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 Horsham's clay, wet ground often means waste water isn't soaking away, so book a check early.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Horsham?
Yes. Our Burgess Hill depot is about 11 miles from Horsham, 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.
