What our customers say
Rob and the team were excellent throughout the process of both submitting the original claim for our septic tank replacement and subsequently organising the team who did the work. Rob always kept us in the picture and was also direct/straight re potential outcomes etc. Would definitely recommend as this is a field that requires specialist expertise to reach the right outcome.
I had a really good service from UKDP from the start of the process through to the end, easy to contact and available, covered all areas of the issue including the Environment Agency and Building control. The contractors used were polite and professional so all good. I'm very pleased with UKDP and would be happy to recommend them.
Exceptional support. Guided me through a challenging time with a warm and incredibly helpful attitude. Highly recommend their service.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in Stafford?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Around Stafford, heavy clay drains slowly, so solids from an overfull tank can block the drainage field quickly. Book before winter.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in Stafford?
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 Stafford?
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: connect to the mains sewer, switch to a drainage field, or fit a treatment plant. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites such as the Pasturefields salt marsh. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in Stafford?
If your home isn't connected to the mains, the septic tank or treatment plant is yours to look after. Severn Trent only maintains the public sewers. UKDP handles emptying, repairs, surveys and replacements for private systems across the Stafford area.
What are the signs of septic tank failure?
Slow drains, bad smells, gurgling pipes, sewage backing up and wet, boggy ground over the drainage field. Around Stafford, clay soils can stay wet for days after heavy rain, so it's worth a check before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in Stafford?
Yes. Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway is about 29 miles from Stafford. 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.
