Local knowledge

Private drainage around Malton

West of the town is the Howardian Hills National Landscape; north and east is open farmland towards the Wolds. Farmhouses, estate cottages and converted barns are often off the mains, and some older systems sit close to the Derwent and its becks.

We cover Old Malton, Amotherby, Swinton, Settrington, Huttons Ambo and Rillington and the countryside around them. Every job starts with an assessment of the whole system and, where needed, a percolation test.

Questions

Questions from Malton

Do you cover villages around Malton?

Yes, including Old Malton, Amotherby, Swinton, Settrington, Huttons Ambo and Rillington. Send your postcode and we'll confirm.

Can a septic tank near the River Derwent stay as it is?

If it discharges to the ground through a working drainage field and meets the general binding rules, yes. If a septic tank drains straight into the river or a beck, it needs replacing or upgrading.

Do I need permission to replace a septic tank in Malton?

A new or replacement system normally needs Building Regulations approval, and planning permission can apply in some cases. If it can't meet the general binding rules, an environmental permit may be needed.
