A septic tank is concrete, fibreglass, or plastic subterranean chamber through which home wastewater runs for basic treatment.
Solids and organics are reduced by settling and anaerobic processes, but treatment efficiency is only moderate. Septic tank systems are a type of onsite sewage treatment system.
Septic tanks are connected to a drain field or other absorption field and are designed to take wastewater from a property and release it into the surrounding soil.
This effectively helps put water back into the natural rain cycle while also disposing of the waste in the systems.
These systems can work in various ways depending on the kind of septic tank installed, but the general idea is always the same.
This means that most systems can suffer from the same basic septic tank problems, no matter what kind of tank you are using.
Septic tanks are commonly used to treat human waste and separate solids and liquids in wastewater in rural areas, campgrounds, and picnic areas instead of sewer systems.
The waste's liquid portion is disposed of in a drain field, where natural filtering occurs in the soil.
As septic tank suppliers we use specialist equipment to remove waste and contaminants from the water.
All our systems conform to the Environment Agency General Binding Rules, which means they are efficient whilst sticking to the environmental standards.
Whether you are looking for a tank for domestic or commercial properties, we can supply you with exactly what you are looking for.
We have a range of shapes and sizes available, so you will be sure to find a system that meets your requirements.
Septic tank installation involves multiple core steps. As a professional septic tank installer company, our installation team knows how to get a new septic tank installed quickly and reliably in any location and can adapt our methods to suit any property we are called to work on.
After a ground survey for soil suitability and collecting the relevant permits, we can install most septic tank designs at least two feet underground.
We dig a two-foot-or-deeper trench for the tank and pipes themselves, ideally downhill from the property, to allow natural water flow.
Once excavated, we can determine the perfect spot for the leach field and install the tank in the right location, connecting it to your normal wastewater installation once it is in place.
Then, we can simply re-cover the pipes, allowing the installation to run safely underground.
The installation process of a septic tank should always be carried out by a local professional.
As we have years of experience, we know exactly what is involved in the process and how to install your waste system to a high standard.
The type and size of the tank you require will determine the installation procedure. No matter your current ground condition, we can install a tank above or below the surface.

Your septic tank installation should match your general wastewater production, although this can be hard to estimate at first. Most septic tank installers recommend judging the size using the following equation:
Size = 150 litres x people in the property + 2,000 litres
This means that a 4-person property would be estimated to need a 2,600-litre septic tank installation - but remember, this is just a guideline and general estimate. A minimum of 2,000 is required under most building regulations.
Aside from the 2,000-litre minimum, there are plenty of other septic tank installation regulations that you need to follow.
If your old septic tank does not meet these requirements, then getting a new septic tank is a legal requirement.
A full list of rules is available in the form of the Environment Agency Septic Tank General Binding Rules from 2022.
This includes details such as not emptying septic tanks into a waterway and checking with your local government to get permission before installing a new septic tank.
A septic tank costs between £6,000 and £15,000 on average to supply and install in the UK. This price will generally include land clearing, installation, and land drainage.
The exact total cost of the process is very hard to estimate as a general ballpark number.
These prices vary depending on the size required, the area and the extent of work required on each individual installation.
Labour costs can also be a factor, and there can be a small fee for applying to get the necessary permits to comply with the General Binding Rules.
If a septic tank and land drainage system are determined to be insufficient to treat the sewage from your property, there are numerous sewage treatment systems that may remove significant amounts of pollution from the wastewater while also helping to safeguard the environment.
We have listed some additional budget costs associated with septic tank installations and sewage systems in the UK.
For further advice on budgeting for your new system, contact us to get some professional advice and price estimates. We are fully aware of the septic tank installation process and what can influence the total cost.
Sewage treatment plants cost around £4,500 to £12,000 to install in the UK for single homes. This includes the plant cost, installation and the installation of the land drainage system.
A modern extended aeration system for a single home will cost between £2,500 and £6,000, which includes installation and plant costs.
This price will depend on the drain run required, which varies heavily depending on your property as a whole.
A filter sewage treatment plant costs in the region of £4,750 - £7,500. This includes materials, installation and drainage system.
A reed bed sewage treatment system will cost around £16,000 for a specialist septic tank installer to fit.
A reed bed is a natural filtration device for treating and improving water quality before it is discharged into the environment.
It takes advantage of a reed's ability to carry oxygen to the soil, allowing microorganisms to digest the pollutants in the effluent.

Septic tanks require ongoing maintenance to work properly. If you want to avoid constant septic tank replacement costs, you want to have your septic tank work consistently by maintaining it well.
We can offer septic tank maintenance services http://www.septictank.org.uk/maintenance/, helping our customers ensure that their installation can operate properly and is not going to break down any time soon.
This also gives us a way to identify issues, such as sludge-blocked pipes or issues with the direction of the drainage under the ground.
If your septic tank is no longer functioning correctly, we can provide a full repair service.
This might involve us opening part of your house garden - especially if the ground is covered with concrete or recently-installed furnishings - but it allows us to cover and repair any faults the installation might have.
We can repair your entire mains drainage system and sewage treatment plant if needed. Both domestic and commercial properties need repairs eventually, and we can aim to keep your installation in excellent condition as often as necessary.
Septic tanks eventually get full of solids, sludge, and other discharges and can't always pump it into the ground. We can be on-site to empty the installation for you, clearing it out and allowing it to run as normal again.
If your installation is outdated or no longer working correctly, we can replace your tank with a brand new one.
We can also do the same to your treatment plant and some of your mains drainage pipes, among other parts of the installation.
Septic surveys, including a percolation test, will be required both before and during the septic tank installation process.
A percolation test checks if the soil is reliable enough for the system, and a full site survey can help point out any unwanted flaws.
A site survey might be important if you plan to point an outlet pipe towards surface water, since not all water is okay to contaminate.
These tanks can offer numerous useful advantages over other similar systems - or not having a system at all.
We work nationwide to supply and install septic tanks for both commercial and domestic properties. As recognised expert suppliers, we only provide high-quality systems that are great value for money.
No matter what shape, size, or type of septic tank you are looking to purchase, we can cater to your every need.
It is always best to look into your suppliers before purchasing to ensure that you are getting great standards and that they are worth your time and money.
While you can fit your own tank and drainage field, it is usually better to get the installation done by a professional.
Effluent and discharge can be dangerous, and customers who try to handle the project themselves might struggle to comply with the core rules.
A good septic tank installation can handle processing effluent and discharge at the same drainage field site for between 15 and 20 years, some as much as 25 or more.
Of course, this varies based on a number of factors, including the quality of the installation itself.
Read the current General Binding Rules for these systems if you want to know more about the current rules. Each project needs to fall within the GBR to be officially permitted on most properties.
You should replace your septic tank every 10-15 years on average. Be sure to contact a professional like us to get the job done quickly and conveniently.
Aside from normal concerns like contractor travel time - if you live in West Sussex, then a local contractor is faster than a far-away one - most projects will take around one or two weeks at most. This is often extended due to whatever damage necessitated the replacement.
The ideal site from your house is around seven meters. If this were under concrete, further away is fine - the cost of pulling up the concrete will not usually be worth it.
A septic service specialist should inspect the average homeowner's septic system at least once every three years. This is because septic tanks in homes are usually pumped every three to five years.
Yes, to put it succinctly. You'll need planning clearance from a local authority to install a septic tank, whether it's at your home or a business location.
Ensure your septic tanks do not discharge to surface water drains, rivers, canals, ditches, streams or any other type of waterway.
You are also required to upgrade or replace your septic tank treatment system to a full sewage treatment plant by 2020, or when you sell property, if it's before this date.
