In addition to the extensive list of services we provide throughout the southeast, our team also installs septic tanks for rural domestic and commercial clients who cannot connect their properties to mains systems. Attempting to do so is extremely costly, so the widely accepted alternatives are septic tanks and sewage treatment plants.
We are experienced Marsh Industries-approved sewage treatment plant and septic tank installers, ensuring you receive the right system for your needs and that it complies with all current regulations.

The main reasons why we recommend these independent methods of dealing with wastewater are as follows:
Here at Hallwood Solutions (Kent-Sussex) Ltd, we survey your property to ensure we install the appropriate septic tank for your needs. The three main types of septic tanks we offer include:
You may have one at your Kent or East Sussex property, yet have never seen it. If your home or premises are older, then the tank was probably constructed with concrete or bricks. Our Marsh Industries-approved sewage treatment plant and septic tank installers no longer install these, but they are still perfectly usable when regularly maintained and emptied.
Using a lateral flow system, the sludge will gather at the bottom of the chamber whilst the liquid remains on top and passes through the tank into a drainage field.
Built using glass-reinforced plastic (GRP), these economical options take some time to install due to their design. The bulbous shape at the bottom requires a large excavation area, plus concrete to secure the tank in place.
Despite this, onion-shaped septic tanks are the most commonly installed systems in the UK. With three chambers working to filter the water, solids are held in place by a baffle whilst the liquid flows out.
These ‘shallow dig’ septic tanks also operate laterally but are much easier and faster to fit. They don’t require concrete to hold them in place, unlike the onion design, and our installers can securely position them and have them fully operational in no time.
Homeowners need to be aware of the latest regulations surrounding septic tanks, particularly if they plan to sell their property.
Since 2015, homeowners must ensure their septic tanks and sewage treatment systems meet current environmental standards before a property sale can proceed.
Buyers may request proof that your system has been regularly emptied, maintained, and inspected by a certified installer.
Depending on your location and system type, you may need a permit from the Environment Agency (EA) or local authority to operate your septic tank legally.
Older systems that fail to meet regulations may require upgrading or replacement before sale.
Our team ensures that every installation or maintenance service we carry out meets these regulatory standards, giving you peace of mind whether you’re staying in your home or preparing it for sale.
