Drainage, Interceptors & Pump Stations in Dartford

Interceptors, gullies and pump stations for Dartford’s business and logistics sites, and drains and septic tanks for homes around it.

Dartford sits by the Thames at the Kent end of the Dartford Crossing, surrounded by logistics sites, retail parks, business estates and fast-growing new neighbourhoods at Ebbsfleet, Greenhithe and Swanscombe. That makes it one of the busiest places we cover for commercial drainage: interceptors, gullies, pump stations and yard drains.

New housing often relies on pump stations managed by residents’ companies. Older parts of the town have clay drains that crack and block. Up the Darent valley, villages such as Sutton-at-Hone, Horton Kirby, South Darenth and Farningham have homes on septic tanks and treatment plants.

We’re SafeContractor, Achilles UVDB and RISQS approved, our crews work in Kent most days, and we answer the phone 24 hours a day.

Local knowledge

Drainage around Dartford: what to know

Logistics, new estates and a river valley.

Logistics site compliance

Large yards and car parks need interceptors inspected and emptied regularly, with records kept.

New neighbourhoods

Homes at Ebbsfleet, Greenhithe and Swanscombe may drain to private pump stations. Check who’s responsible.

The Darent valley

Villages up the valley sit on chalk that supplies drinking water, so tanks must work properly.

What our customers say

★★★★★

So glad we found them. The team was professional, courteous and helpful. They came the next day and pricing is way more competitive than a national chain. Will be using them again in a year's time to service the pump. Thanks again!

We've been using Clearmasters for several years now and they've been great. We're in a tricky area to get to but they always make a plan without complaint. Great team! Highly Recommended.

Questions answered

Dartford drainage FAQs

What facilities managers, management companies and homeowners around Dartford ask us most.

How often should a warehouse interceptor be emptied?

It depends on its size and how much oil and silt reaches it. Many sites inspect every six months and empty when needed. We can set a schedule.

Yes. Tell us what’s needed when you book and we’ll arrange inductions and permits in advance.

Who looks after the pump station on my Greenhithe estate?
