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!
A very professional company. Always return calls and get the job done. Would highly recommend to any customer.
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.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied on the Isle of Wight?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. If your soakaway is on slow-draining ground, stick to it, because solids from an overfull tank block it quickly.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement on the Isle of Wight?
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 on the Isle of Wight?
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. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems on the Isle of Wight?
Southern Water looks after the public sewers. If your home isn't on the mains, your septic tank, treatment plant or cesspit is yours to look after, and we handle emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements across the island.
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 Eastern Yar, a flooded garden can cause the same signs, so get it checked once the water has gone.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me on the Isle of Wight?
Yes. Our depot at Ford, near Arundel, is about 33 miles from the Isle of Wight, and our engineers come over on the ferry. 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.
