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.
Rob and his collegues kept me informed at every stage in the process and efficiently coordinated with everyone involved. Friendly and professional service. Happy to recommend.
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 Rochford?
Empty it at least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. If you need septic tank emptying in Rayleigh or Hullbridge, don't let it slip: the wet clay there drains slowly, so a blocked drainage field takes a long time to recover.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Rochford?
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 Rochford?
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 Rochford?
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 Rochford district, from Rayleigh to Great Wakering.
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 the clay around Rayleigh and Hullbridge, soggy ground after rain can also be the soil itself, so get it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Rochford?
Yes. We cover Rochford from our Burgess Hill depot, 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.
