Septic Tank Emptying Lancashire
Regular emptying keeps solids out of your drainage field. On the Fylde, where groundwater sits just 1 to 2 metres down, a blocked field has little room to drain.

What our customers say
UKDP had been monitoring our problems with root ingress and decided the treatment plant would need replacing. They offered to manage the insurance claim, which they did very successfully. I had very little to do. Real specialists!
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 Lancashire?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On the Fylde and the West Lancashire plain, where underground water sits close to the surface, an overfull tank pushes solids into a drainage field with little room to drain.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Lancashire?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear or lack of maintenance. We check your policy and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Lancashire?
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, such as Morecambe Bay. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Lancashire?
United Utilities 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 we handle emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements from the Fylde to the Ribble Valley and Bowland.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and boggy ground over the drainage field. In low-lying parts of Lancashire, wet ground can also be high underground water, so a check will show the real cause.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Lancashire?
Yes. We cover Lancashire from our Beeston depot in Nottingham, 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.
