Who we are

Private drainage is confusing. It shouldn't be.

Most people only think about their septic tank when something goes wrong, and then find the advice conflicting and the rules hard to follow.

We're here to change that for Yorkshire's rural homes and businesses. We look at the whole system, from the house to the drainage field, explain the options without jargon, and make sure the quote says exactly what's included before any work starts. Whether it's a cottage septic tank that needs emptying or a treatment plant for a farm and its holiday lets, the approach is the same.

For homes

Farmhouses, cottages, barn conversions and new rural homes. We'll tell you whether your septic tank meets the general binding rules, what your options are if it doesn't, and what it needs to keep working.

For farms and businesses

Farms, holiday lets, estates and rural businesses with bigger or busier systems, where sizing, permits and servicing matter. Farm and commercial septic tanks

What we do

Septic tank services, start to finish

From a first survey to a new treatment plant, and the servicing and emptying that keep it working afterwards.
