What Is Septic Tank Emptying?
Properties not connected to mains drainage rely on septic systems to manage wastewater.
Over time, sludge and solids build up inside the tank. If not removed regularly, this can lead to:
-
Blocked drains
-
Bad odours
-
Slow-flushing toilets
-
System overflow
-
Environmental contamination
-
Expensive system failure
Routine emptying prevents these issues and keeps your system operating safely.
Our Septic Tank Services Include
Septic Tank Emptying
Using vacuum tankers, we safely remove accumulated sludge and wastewater from your system. All waste is transported to authorised treatment facilities in accordance with UK environmental regulations.
Septic Tank Cleaning
Where required, we offer full tank cleaning to remove excess build-up and residue. This is particularly useful for:
-
Tanks that have not been serviced for several years
-
Properties changing ownership
-
Systems experiencing recurring issues
-
Preventative maintenance programmes
Cesspit & Sewage Tank Emptying
We also empty cesspits and sealed sewage tanks that require more frequent servicing.
Cesspits typically need emptying more regularly as they do not discharge effluent into drainage fields.

How Often Should a Septic Tank Be Emptied?

-
Every 6–12 months (average household)
-
More frequently for large households
-
More frequently for commercial sites
Cesspits may require emptying every 4–8 weeks depending on usage.
If you’re unsure, our team can advise based on tank size and occupancy levels.
