What our customers say
As a novice to insurance claims and private water treatment I needed support. UKDP guided me through the whole lengthy process with clear communication. Great job done.
I cannot fault the tremendous work carried out by UKDP. From start to finish, all involved exhibited a professional, dedicated and high standard of work ethic. They treated my property with the utmost respect.
Works completed 21/7/26. Carried out efficiently, skilfully, and with excellent communication on the job. Rob and Paul worked hard and quickly to complete the work, made best use of the time available, and when completed the site was left clean and tidy. An impressive process and very satisfactory conclusion. Thank you.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Northamptonshire?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On Northamptonshire's clay that matters more than usual, because a drainage field blocked by solids rarely recovers on its own.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Northamptonshire?
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 Northamptonshire?
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 Northamptonshire?
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 across the county.
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 parts of the county rising groundwater can also leave a drainage field wet in winter, so get it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Northamptonshire?
Yes. Our Syston depot, near Leicester, covers Northamptonshire. 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.
