Most homes in the UK are connected to the mains drainage system. However, thousands aren’t, with many of them located here in rural East Anglia. This means the householder has to have an alternative method of disposing their sewage.
Here Gilson Environmental Services look at some of the factors which make us one of the leading sewage treatment plant installers in Suffolk, Norfolk and across East Anglia – and we can also commission septic tanks and cesspits as well.
Our Independence
We have no ties to any one manufacturer, which means we are under no obligation to promote one brand over another like many of our rivals. This means we will always look to come up with the most appropriate and cost-effective solution for you.
For instance, the sewage treatment plant brands we work with include Klargester, Kee, Clearwater, Entec, Titan, Vortex – and many more.
Our Knowledge of the Law
We are fully aware of all the regulations which apply to the sector, and we’ll make sure you are too. This includes the General Binding Rules, which mean that septic tanks are no longer allowed to discharge effluent directly into a local watercourse. We have pages about these rules on our website, which you can access by clicking here and here.
This is one of the reasons why new installations are more common than you might think – many people have had to upgrade their systems from septic tanks to sewage treatment plants to meet their legal obligations.
Some homeowners are having to have drainage fields or soakaways installed to prevent effluent from discharging into the nearby watercourse. Others are opting for septic tank replacement, which is something else we can do from our base in Ipswich.
Don’t worry if you don’t fully understand your requirements according to the law or your responsibilities with a new sewerage system. We will fully inform you of the laws and your responsibilities before we install anything, such as:
- When to have your cesspit or septic tank emptied
- How often your system needs any maintenance
- What happens if you ever sell your property
- And you decide to decommission your system.
Our Contacts
We have excellent working relationships with all the relevant parties needed to install and service sewage systems. This means we know who to get in touch with at the local council in your area as well as in the Environment Agency to make sure there are no administrative issues with your new installation.
Our knowledge helps when it comes to serving customers in Norfolk, Suffolk, and right across East Anglia.
Our Aftercare
Our work doesn’t just end when we’ve installed your brand new septic tank or sewage treatment plant, we can also commission them. This means we are able to ensure that sewerage treatment systems have been installed in line with the manufacturer’s requirements and ther relevant Building Regulations.
We are also able to maintain systems, by providing you with the possility for regular inspections. In addition, in the unlikely event that anything goes wrong with your sewage treatment system, we are available around-the-clock with our emergency breakdown service, which you can call on 01473 741530.
