Septic Tank Installers in Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Kent and East Sussex

Why Install a Septic Tank?

The main reasons why we recommend these independent methods of dealing with waste water are as follows:

• The installation costs are considerably less than connecting to mains supplies

• They will last 30-50 years once regularly maintained and emptied, so there’s no reinstallation concerns unless you decide to upgrade

• Septic tanks are environmentally friendly due to the release of waste water into the surrounding land, which benefits flora and fauna

• The systems encourage us to be more aware of what we’re regularly flushing and rinsing through our drainage systems which, in turn, promotes eco-friendly habits

Types of Septic Tanks

Here at Hallwood Solutions (Kent-Sussex) Ltd, we conduct a survey of your property to ensure we install the appropriate septic tank for your needs. The three main types of septic tanks we offer include:

• Traditional Septic Tank

• Onion Shape Septic Tank

• Bullet Septic Tank

Traditional Septic Tanks

You may have one at your Tonbridge, Rye, or Sevenoaks property yet have never seen it. If your home or premises is older, then the tank was probably constructed with concrete or bricks. Septic tank installers don’t install these anymore but they are still perfectly useable once 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.

Onion Shape Septic Tank

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.

Bullet Septic Tank

‍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 have them securely positioned and fully operational in no time.
