What our customers say
Our legitimate insurance claim was declined by the insurer, however through a completely professional and expertly conducted case, UKDP Solutions were able to overturn their decision and we are delighted with the outcome. Best of all UKDP Solutions did all the hard work.
Job well done! Very happy with the works completed by UKDP, had a new STP fitted. I had lots of questions before works started and they made sure I understood everything and was totally happy before going ahead. Work was completed in a timely manner, slight issue with electrics but this was quickly resolved. Customer service was excellent and I can highly recommend them.
Very positive experience using this company. Arrived as the property as expected and the report was delivered in a timely manner. We raised a couple of follow up queries and the communication was outstanding with all queries responded to in a thorough and timely manner. It is very clear there is a wealth of knowledge within the company and we would highly recommend. A shout out to James W and David who assisted with the queries and attended the property.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Leicester?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. The clay around Leicester drains slowly, so a soakaway clogged with solids is hard to bring back.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Leicester?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We check your policy, liaise with the insurer and can help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in Leicester?
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, such as private wells and springs, or protected wildlife sites. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Leicester?
Severn Trent looks after the public sewers and the Wanlip treatment works. 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 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. On Leicester's clay, water lying over the drainage field after rain can mean the soakaway is struggling, so get it checked early.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Leicester?
Yes. Our head office at Syston, near Leicester, is about 4 miles from Leicester, 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.
