Reliable Septic Tank Installation, Maintenance & Repairs
If you rely on a septic tank for wastewater treatment, it’s essential to keep it functioning properly to avoid unpleasant issues and environmental risks. At Haydon’s Drainage, we offer a full range of septic tank services for domestic and commercial customers across the UK.
Whether you need a new tank installed, your system serviced, or emergency repairs, our experienced engineers deliver prompt, professional solutions tailored to your needs.
What Does a Septic Tank Do?
A septic tank collects wastewater from your property, allowing solids to settle and separate from liquids. The liquid waste is then dispersed into a drainage field (soakaway). Without regular maintenance, these systems can fail—leading to blockages, overflows, or pollution.
Our team handles all aspects of septic tank care, from one-off inspections to complete system overhauls.
Our Septic Tank Services Include:
- Septic tank installation and upgrades
- Routine inspections and servicing
- Emptying and desludging coordination
- Soakaway and drainage field repairs
- Emergency call-outs for blockages or flooding
- Advice on compliance and legal requirements
We work with all types of septic tanks, including traditional brick-built tanks, modern plastic and fibreglass units, and older systems in need of replacement.

Cost Considerations
The installation cost depends on the system type, brand, and specific requirements. Our knowledgeable team provides advice and cost estimates tailored to your needAssessing Your Existing Septic Tank
If your current cesspit or septic tank isn’t functioning correctly, we can help. Our team evaluates the system and recommends the best course of action. This could involve simple repairs or maintenance, complete replacements, or upgrading to a more efficient system.
Compliance with Regulations
As of October 2, 2023, new sewage discharges must adhere to specific rules. Discharges exceeding permitted limits for groundwater or surface water cannot share the same outlet as an existing septic tank discharge. Additionally, new sewage discharges must not be within a 50-meter radius of other groundwater or water discharge activities.
Septic Tank Maintenance
To keep your septic tank working optimally, regular de-sludging is essential. Schedule this annually (though frequency depends on tank size and usage). If you notice dark solid material in the discharge, it’s time for de-sludging.
