What our customers say
Highly recommend UKDP. Rob was instrumental in resolving a complex insurance claim on my behalf. He took on all the liaison with the insurer, greatly reducing the administration I had to carry out (and reducing my stress levels in the process!). His advice was accurate and he kept me fully appraised of progress each week. Really great service.
Thank you so much to Rob, Ash, Paul, Graham and Henry, such an amazingly efficient team. They arrived destroyed, replaced and finished to a better standard than we had before. They took one and a half days to put a new sewage treatment plant in and leave it looking like new and so tidy. Materials arrived when they were needed so there was no time wasting. A lovely, diligent and professional team.
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.
FAQs
Ask our teamHow often should a septic tank be emptied in West Midlands?
At least once a year, or as often as the manufacturer recommends. Where the soil is heavy clay, as in much of the rural east, solids that reach a drainage field clog it fast.
Does home insurance cover septic tank replacement in West Midlands?
Often, yes. Many buildings insurance policies cover sudden damage to septic tanks and drains, but not wear and tear. We can check your policy and help with the claim.
What are the General Binding Rules for septic tanks in West Midlands?
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 to the mains sewer, a drainage field or a treatment plant. You may also need a permit near drinking-water sources or protected wildlife sites. We'll tell you which applies.
Who deals with off-mains drainage problems in West Midlands?
If your home isn't on 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 county.
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. On clay, the ground can stay wet after rain anyway, so get it checked before assuming the worst.
Can I get emergency septic tank repair near me in West Midlands?
Yes. Our Birmingham Business Park depot at Solihull Parkway covers the West Midlands, 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.
