Pump Station Servicing & Repairs in Oxted

Servicing, repairs, emptying and alarm call-outs for pump stations at homes, private roads and business sites around Oxted.

Oxted is built on a slope. The ground falls from the foot of the North Downs, through the town centre and down to Hurst Green and the fields beyond. Most homes can drain downhill to the sewer without help, but a property set below the road, or a sewer that runs uphill of it, needs a pump to lift its waste.

That’s where pump stations come in. Around Oxted they serve houses built into the hillside, groups of new homes on former gardens and farmland, basements, and outbuildings converted into living space. Out in the villages, some lift effluent from a septic tank or treatment plant up to a drainage field or outfall that sits higher than the house. A few serve whole groups of houses on private roads, where one failure affects every household.

Our engineers service and repair pump stations of all sizes, our tankers empty them, and our phones are answered day and night if an alarm goes off. When a chamber is nearly full, a tanker can pump it down first to give the engineer room to work.

What's included

What a pump station service covers

From the kiosk to the bottom of the wet well.

  • Kiosk and wiring

    The kiosk, cables and connections are checked for damage, damp and wear.

  • Control panel checked

    The panel is checked for faults, correct settings and anything likely to make it trip.

  • Every pump run and tested

    Each pump is run and checked. On twin-pump stations we make sure both the duty and standby pumps work.

  • Alarm tested

    We test the high-level alarm so it will warn you before the chamber overflows.

  • Wet well cleaned

    Rags, fat and silt are cleared out, with the chamber emptied by tanker where needed.

  • Cover and access

    The chamber cover and its frame are checked so the station is safe to open and safe to walk past.

Repairs, alarms and emptying

Pumps for converted outbuildings and annexes

Converted stables, garages and garden annexes around Oxted and Limpsfield often sit lower than the main house drains. A small packaged pump station is usually the answer, but these units are easy to forget about because they’re out of sight.

Wet wipes, kitchen fat and the odd toy are the usual culprits when one stops. A yearly service and a clean of the chamber catch worn floats and tired pumps before they leave you without a working toilet. If the chamber has silted up, we can arrange pump station emptying on the same visit.

Planned servicing

Most domestic pump stations are serviced every six or twelve months, and busier stations on estates or business sites more often. A regular visit catches worn parts and build-up before they cause a breakdown.

We’ll remind you when the next service is due.

I've used Clearmasters for the past year and they've always been outstanding! They are very efficient to deal with in the office, they are very reasonably priced and their engineers are among some of the most professional i've met. I would highly recommend them to anyone.

Questions answered

Your pump station questions answered

Why would a house in Oxted need a pump station?

Usually because the house, or part of it, sits lower than the sewer or drainage system it needs to reach. On the slopes between the Downs and Hurst Green that happens more than people expect. Basements, annexes and homes set below the road are the most common examples.

Can you replace pumps and control panels?

Yes. We supply and fit replacement pumps, floats and control panels, and our confined space teams handle any work inside the chamber.

The pump station alarm is going off. What should I do?

Stop using water as much as you can and call us on 03333 233566. Don’t open the chamber yourself. Tell us what the control panel shows, and we’ll come out to find the fault.

Who looks after a pump station on a private road near Oxted?

If it serves several homes and the water company hasn’t adopted it, the owners or a management company are normally responsible. Your deeds or management agreement should say. We can service shared stations on a schedule and send the reports to whoever manages the road.

Do you work on pump stations for businesses?

Yes. We service and repair pump stations at business parks, farms, holiday sites and commercial premises as well as homes and estates.

How often does a pump station need servicing?

Most domestic pump stations are serviced every six or twelve months. Busier stations on estates or commercial sites usually need more frequent visits. We’ll recommend an interval after the first service.
