Certified Septic Tank Installation in Guildford
Safe and certified septic tank installation is essential for the continued safe running of your propertyâs water and drainage systems. A septic tank is the best alternative for managing and disposing of wastewater if your property is not located near a public sewer. Without a septic tank, your property will have no way of responsibly disposing of wastewater and if you are found liable for discharging polluted water, you can face fines of up to ÂŁ150,000.

Our Installation of Septic Tanks in Guildford
The most common reason customers opt for septic tank installation in Guildford is because they have recently moved house and discovered the previous septic tank needs replacing or the property doesnât have one (or isnât connected to a public sewer system). Some of the core factors our engineers will need to address before installation includes:
- Identifying the size of the septic tank required
- Surveying the ground conditions where the tank will be installed
- Mapping out accessibility routes (if your property has a particularly narrow driveway or the path to the septic tank installation area is difficult to get to)
- How big the drainage field needs to be to accommodate for the septic tankâs requirements
The average cost for the procurement and installation of a new septic tank typically costs anywhere between ÂŁ4,000 to ÂŁ7,000. However, the maintenance and upkeep required are minimal and septic tanks can last up to 40 years.
Why Do I Need a Septic Tank?
Septic tanks are responsible for gathering wastewater generated by your water systems (toilets, washing machines, dishwashers etc) and separating the solids from the liquids; the latter of which exit into a drain field. The solids in the septic tank eventually sink to the bottom and over time, will require routine emptying from a licenced drainage company.
Properties located close to the main sewer will not necessarily require a septic tank as their waste is transported to the sewer line. If your property is too far from a sewer line, your best alternative is a septic tank. If you decide against a septic tank, your only other option is a cesspit, which is extremely expensive to maintain and nowhere near as environmentally friendly.
Without a septic tank or access to a public sewer system, your property will have no waste management system and will not be able to function properly or even legally.
What Affects Septic Tank Costs?
There are a few key factors that will affect the cost of your septic tank installation in Guildford. Such factors include:
- The size of the tank
- The conditions of the ground where itâs being installed
- The ground conditions where itâs being installed
- The accessibility of the site
- The size of the drainage field required to suit the tank
You will also need to take into account how much maintenance and emptying will cost. In most cases, septic tank maintenance is relatively cheap and low maintenance.
Can I Service My Septic Tank Myself?
No, servicing a septic tank must be carried out by a certified drainage engineer. This task is not only unpleasant but dangerous. Additionally, the servicing must adhere to the General Binding Rules, if it does not, you could face hefty fines and cause pollution problems in the area. BlockBusters engineers are fully trained and equipped to professionally service all types and models of septic tanks across Guildford.
What Size Septic Tank Do I Need?
The size of your septic tank will depend on a few factors, but the minimum size for a septic tank on a domestic property with four occupants. As a general rule, you will need 180 litres for every additional occupant. This is particularly important if you are planning to extend your property in the future, as your service tank may also need to be updated to accommodate the additional occupant(s).
