What our customers say
When our septic tank collapsed I was at a loss as to what we needed to do to ensure compliance with the current regulations. I found UKDP’s website and called to arrange a site survey. They carried out a thorough inspection and advised that we could make a claim through our home insurance. Rob was incredibly helpful and handled the claim on our behalf to a successful conclusion. The work was carried out swiftly and the guys on site were polite and respectful throughout. We did have a minor problem with the system a few months later but an engineer was on site to fix it within days.
We needed a survey on the septic tank prior to us buying a house. UKDP solutions were professional and so helpful regarding this matter. We appreciated their guidance and efficiency the report was completed in one day.
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.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Nottinghamshire?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. On the clay of south-east Nottinghamshire, drainage fields drain slowly, so don't let it slip: an overfull tank pushes solids into the drainage field and blocks it.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire?
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 Nottinghamshire?
If your home isn't on the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Severn Trent only looks after the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems across Nottinghamshire.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and boggy ground over the drainage field. If your garden flooded in a storm, as many in Lowdham did in 2023, the tank may have filled with floodwater, so get it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Nottinghamshire?
Yes. Our Beeston depot is in Nottinghamshire, about 3 miles from Nottingham city centre, 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.
