What are your options when you own a home, or run a business, but the property doesn’t have a mains sewer connection? What can you do to provide toilet facilities for family or staff? What happens to the solid and liquid waste they generate? What are your own legal responsibilities for the management of this waste? These are all major considerations for our customers. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd is here to provide the answers.
We are septic tank installers, and we can help you to control liquid waste with a full management service that includes the supply and fitting of quality branded systems. We also provide a septic tank emptying service.
With operating centres in Dunsfold (Surrey) and Cuckfield (West Sussex), we provide installation services in Andover, Basingstoke, Brighton, Brockenhurst, Chichester, Crawley, Dorking, East Grinstead, Eastbourne, Epsom, Godstone, Guildford, Haywards Heath, Horsham, Lewes, Lymington, Lyndhurst, New Forest, Petersfield, Redhill, Reigate, Ringwood, Salisbury, Sevenoaks, Southampton, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Winchester, Windsor and Woking. Homeowners and businesses in rural areas, and those with off-mains drainage, can use P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd for professional solutions, delivered with care by our septic tank installers and always at a fair, affordable price.
We always recommend a connection to a public sewer if possible. For those who don’t have this option available, we can assist with a septic tank or sewage treatment plant installation.
Our septic tank installers will advise on the best type of system for your property, basing their recommendation on the property size, the number of people using that property, and their day-to-day habits and routines. It is important to opt for a septic tank that can accommodate the amount of sewage and wastewater produced, and one that won’t require emptying too frequently because of bad organisation and planning on our part.
Because a septic tank has no treatment facilities and discharges untreated effluent, you may need the relevant permits, approvals and permissions to have one installed. You will also need to comply with the General Binding Rules.
In the overwhelming majority of cases, our septic tank installers position the system underground.
We can visit properties in Andover, Basingstoke, Brighton, Brockenhurst, Chichester, Crawley, Dorking, East Grinstead, Eastbourne, Epsom, Godstone, Guildford, Haywards Heath, Horsham, Lewes, Lymington, Lyndhurst, New Forest, Petersfield, Redhill, Reigate, Ringwood, Salisbury, Sevenoaks, Southampton, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Uckfield, Winchester, Windsor, Woking, or anywhere else across the South of England region, to provide you with an initial survey, consultation and quotation. We deliver this side of our service to you on an obligation-free basis.
Septic tanks work using the following process:
The septic tank installers at P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd understand that fitting a property out with a new system might cause some initial concerns. With the required permits, approvals, and permissions in place, we work in compliance with the General Binding Rules for septic tanks and perform the installation with minimum disruption. Our septic tank installers have 100+ years of combined sector experience.
We adhere to best industry practices at all times to achieve an installation that deals with expected capacities as promised. P.J. Cole (Southern) Ltd also offers an ongoing maintenance, repair, servicing and emptying service.
You will usually have your septic tank emptied and cleaned of deposits at approximate one-year intervals.
If your property doesn’t have a connection to the main sewer supply, a septic tank helps you to meet general binding rules. You will need to apply for a permit for discharging. The person operating a septic tank can be the property owner or a person granted with permission from the property owner. If you own or run a business at a property that shares an underground system with other owners, you are all responsible for that system, and for complying with the General Binding Rules.
It is important to know when you need an environmental permit, especially when it comes to discharging wastewater into the ground or a surface. It's also important to know how to apply for permits so the entire process runs smoothly. If you are an owner or an operator, you need to know the General Binding Rules and you must always adhere to them.
If you are unsure of your own responsibilities, please contact our office for further information.
