What our customers say
We, like many others it appears, benefitted from Rob and UKDP's experience and professionalism. Rob's interaction with our insurers on our behalf was invaluable! Where our insurers prevaricated and delayed, he pushed and urged response, advising and updating me at all times - and we got there in the end, with the right, fair and reasonable outcome. I would not be able to recommend Rob highly enough. Thanks for all your assistance Rob !
We want to thank UKDP and the team, Matt, Rob, Paul and Ash, that were involved in the installation of our new sewage treatment plant. They were amazingly efficient and very professional, knowledgeable and courteous. They worked incredibly hard and were excellent in what they did. They are a fantastic team and they communicated really well at each step. They completed a challenging project, in an exemplary way, in just three days. They are highly commendable and highly recommended.
A very professional company. Always return calls and get the job done. Would highly recommend to any customer.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Northampton?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Around Northampton the soils are mostly clay, so don't let it slip: once solids reach a drainage field in clay, it blocks and is hard to bring back.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Northampton?
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 in Northampton?
Under the general binding rules, a septic tank must not drain straight into a river, stream or ditch. If yours does, you need to upgrade it: connect to the mains sewer, switch to a drainage field or fit a sewage treatment plant. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites, and we'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Northampton?
If your home isn't on the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Anglian Water only looks after the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems around Northampton.
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 Northampton's clay soils, wet ground after rain is common, so have it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Northampton?
Yes. Our Syston depot, near Leicester, is about 33 miles from Northampton. 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.
