Septic Tanks & Drainage in Edenbridge

Septic tanks, cesspits, treatment plants and pump stations looked after in Edenbridge and the villages of the Eden valley, on both sides of the Kent and Surrey border.

Edenbridge is a small town on the River Eden in the Sevenoaks district, right on the border with Surrey. Its long High Street follows the line of an old Roman road down to the river crossing, and the town has spread north to Marlpit Hill and out to post-war estates such as Stangrove Park and Spitals Cross.

The town is on mains sewers, but the farmland and villages around it are a different matter. Hever, Four Elms, Markbeech, Cowden, Marsh Green and the hamlets in between have plenty of homes, farms and converted barns on septic tanks, cesspits and treatment plants. Newer housing and business sites in the town sometimes depend on pump stations too.

We look after all of it, with crews working in west Kent and east Surrey most days and phones answered 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

What we do for Edenbridge customers

01
A Clearmasters tanker emptying a tank at a rural property

Septic tanks and cesspits on the clay

We empty septic tanks and cesspits at homes and farms around Edenbridge. Where the clay keeps a drainage field wet for months, a regular empty is the best protection, and we’ll suggest how often yours needs doing.

02

Treatment plant servicing

Treatment plants serve many of the barn conversions and newer rural homes around the town. Each annual service covers every working part, and you get a written report afterwards.

03

Pump stations for homes and estates

Flat ground means some homes and developments around Edenbridge need a pump to reach the sewer. Our engineers service and repair pump stations, our tankers empty them, and we answer alarm calls day and night.

Surveys for buyers and sellers

A septic tank survey shows what a property’s system is, its condition and where it discharges, which is worth knowing before you buy a rural home near Edenbridge.

Local knowledge

Drainage around Edenbridge: what to know

Clay, a lively river and the High Weald on the doorstep.

Weald clay

Most of the land around the town is heavy clay that drains slowly, so drainage fields often struggle through the winter.

The River Eden

Low ground beside the Eden and its streams floods after heavy rain. Tanks and pump chambers there need checking once the water drops.

High Weald to the south

Cowden and the higher ground towards the Sussex border are in the High Weald National Landscape, where planning for new drainage can take longer.

What our customers say

★★★★★

Very professional operation. Super clean tanker. Responded quickly to quote and booking requests. Arrived on time. Kept us notified throughout. Very pleasant and helpful guy operating the equipment. Gave sound advice with ongoing maintenance tips. Will definitely be saving Clearmasters' contact details to use them again.

★★★★★

Clearmasters have emptied our Septic Tank for many years. It is not an easy placed tank to get to but the chaps manage perfectly. I find them very efficient, friendly and polite. Thank you Valerie Wise

Valerie W. Google review
★★★★★

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!

How it works

What happens when you book

The same simple process every time.

  1. Step 1

    Tell us what you’ve got

    Get in touch by phone or online and let us know what system you have and what’s happening. If your property is near the river or floods easily, mention that too.

  2. Step 2

    We come out and do the job

    We book a date and send the right tanker or engineer. It helps if:

    • there’s firm ground for a tanker, as clay verges and lawns near the river get soft in winter
    • tank lids, plant covers and pump station hatches are uncovered and easy to find
    • you tell us about narrow lanes, gates, livestock or site rules before we arrive
  3. Step 3

    Paperwork and the next visit

    You get a waste transfer note for anything we take away, and a written report after a survey or service. If it’s a regular job, we’ll remind you when the next one is due.

Questions answered

Edenbridge septic tank and drainage FAQs

What homeowners and businesses around Edenbridge ask us most.

Do you cover the Surrey side of Edenbridge?

Yes. Our crews work in Lingfield, Dormansland, Haxted and Crowhurst as well as the Kent villages, so the county border makes no difference to us.

My tank was flooded when the Eden burst its banks. What now?

Avoid using the drains more than you must, then have the tank emptied once the floodwater has gone down. We can check the inlet, outlet and any pumps while we’re there.

Is a cesspit or a treatment plant better on the clay?

A cesspit doesn’t need the ground to drain, but it fills quickly. A treatment plant discharging to a flowing ditch is often the better long-term choice. A survey will show what suits your property.

Do you service pump stations on Edenbridge estates?

Yes, for homeowners and management companies alike, with planned servicing and 24/7 cover if the alarm goes off.

Does my septic tank meet the General Binding Rules?

It must drain to ground through a drainage field, not straight to a ditch or stream. See the GOV.UK guidance, or ask us to take a look.

Do you take calls out of hours?

Yes. We answer the phone 24 hours a day, every day of the year. Ring 03333 233566 whenever you need us.
