Do I need a septic tank or a treatment plant?
Choosing a treatment system depends on a number of factors including discharge location, if any, location of the plant as well as budget and requirements. Our team of professionals can advise accordingly and survey your property to advise on the best solution for your requirements.
What is ISO9001?
ISO9001 is an internal standard for quality management systems, published by the International Organisation for Standardisation. The standard sets out what companies should be doing in managing their businesses to achieve customer satisfaction. Independent assessors can use this standard to measure whether companies are meeting these requirements and can then issue certificates.

How can I book a service for my treatment plant/septic tank?

I’m not sure if I need to replace my system
Before replacing any system, we recommend a member of our team reviewing your current set up to discuss potential repairs and refurbishment. This helps maximise any savings you could make by replacing your entire system. We work with multiple manufacturers and have a number of products in stores to enable this to be done as quickly and efficiently as possible.

How do I dispose of hazardous waste or oily water?
We can take care of hazardous waste including oily water and we work with multiple customers including any not on mains sewage, garage workshop pits, tank bunds, car park interceptors and more. We fully adhere to industry standards and offer safe collection and disposal of oil waste.
How do you dispose of my waste?
We operate our own waste site at Claydon in Suffolk, approved by the Environmental Agency. This is an activated treatment plant that treats sewage and oil contaminated water.
Liquid waste is treated at our own facility, and after treatment is returned to the ground as agricultural fertilizer. Water is purified to high quality standards and safely introduced into streams and rivers, or can be used for irrigating crops.
Where does my waste go?
The waste from septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, cesspools, pumping stations and interceptors is brought to our yard, where it is checked and screened before being stored for treatment. The screened waste then passes through our high speed Hiller centrifuge up to 16 cubic meters per hour; the discharged solids can be lime stabilized before being loaded and taken away for agricultural use as bio solids fertilizer. The water then goes back to storage for treatment.
The effluent is treated to a very high standard set by the environment agency; it is monitored and sampled before it passes to the local water course.
