Navigating the legalities of off-mains drainage can feel overwhelming, but our expert engineers are here to guide you. If you own a property with a septic tank or treatment plant, you must comply with the Environment Agency General Binding Rules and UK Building Regulations. Older systems that discharge directly into a watercourse are no longer legal and require immediate upgrading.A thorough survey acts as a health check for your system, protecting the local environment from pollution and saving you from hefty fines. If you are in the process of purchasing a rural property, our detailed inspections are invaluable. We also offer comprehensive waste treatment plant surveys to ensure that any prospective domestic or commercial property you buy is fully compliant and structurally sound.
