Drainworks Ltd carry out the installation of all types of septic tanks.

The rules on septic tank installations were updated in 2020, in the form of the Environment Agency Septic Tank General Binding Rules. As indicated above, these state you cannot empty a septic tank into a waterway. In addition to these rules, you must check with your local authority whether you can install a septic tank. The UK Government has an excellent guide on the General Binding Rules you need to follow and if you will require a permit. You must also seek planning permission and building regulations approval. This can be secured via your local authority who will also be able to confirm if you are in a protected zone.
