What We Do

Suction Tanker Services for Liquid Waste

A suction tanker, sometimes called a vacuum tanker, uses powerful suction to draw liquid waste, silt and sludge out of tanks, chambers, gullies and flooded areas into a sealed tank on the vehicle. It can clear large volumes quickly and reach places that pumps and hand tools can't.

Our tankers are used on their own for emptying and clean-ups, and alongside our drainage and pump station teams when a job needs both. If a chamber has to be emptied before a pump can be repaired, or standing water cleared before a drain can be jetted, the same team handles it.

What Our Tankers Handle

Suction Tanker Work We Carry Out

Flood Water Removal

Removing standing water and sewage from flooded basements, yards, car parks and buildings after heavy rain or a drainage failure.

Interceptor Emptying

Emptying oil and petrol interceptors at car parks, forecourts, workshops and industrial units, so they keep separating properly.

Gully Emptying

Clearing silt, leaves and debris from yard, car park and site gullies so surface water can drain away.

Pump Station Wet Wells

Emptying wet wells and chambers so pumps can be inspected, serviced or repaired, and removing built-up sludge.

Drainage Support

Working with our jetting teams to remove silt, debris and waste water from drains and chambers as they're cleared.

Site Clean-Ups

Removing liquid waste and sludge from construction sites, industrial premises and commercial properties.

Planned or Emergency

Scheduled Emptying and Emergency Tanker Response

Planned Tanker Work

Regular emptying of interceptors, gullies and wet wells on a schedule that suits your site, so problems are prevented rather than fixed.

Emergency Response

Flooding, overflowing chambers and spills need dealing with quickly. Call us and we'll arrange to get a tanker to you.

Interceptors

Interceptor Emptying for Car Parks, Forecourts and Workshops

Oil and petrol interceptors stop fuel and oil from car parks, forecourts and workshops reaching the drains and watercourses. As they fill with oil and silt, they stop working properly, which can lead to pollution and blocked drains.

Regular emptying keeps them working as designed and helps you meet your environmental responsibilities. We can empty interceptors on a schedule, keep a record of each visit and flag any damage we spot while we're there.

Who We Work For

Tanker Services for Businesses, Sites and Homes

Most of our tanker work is for commercial customers, but we help anyone with a large volume of liquid to remove, including:

  • Facilities managers and estates teams
  • Commercial and industrial premises
  • Car parks, petrol forecourts and vehicle workshops
  • Developers and construction sites
  • Care homes, schools and other large sites
  • Homeowners dealing with flooding or overflowing drains

How It Works

How Our Tanker Service Works

1. Tell Us About the Job

Let us know what needs emptying or clearing, roughly how much there is and what access is like on site.

2. Plan and Make Safe

We confirm access for the tanker, set up a safe work area and check what we're removing before we start.

3. Extract the Waste

The tanker draws out the liquid waste, silt or sludge and we clean down the area once it's clear.

4. Dispose and Document

We take the waste away for disposal at a licensed site and provide the waste paperwork you need.

Waste Compliance

Licensed Waste Disposal and Paperwork

As the producer of the waste, your business has a legal duty of care to make sure it's handled and disposed of properly. We take the waste we remove to licensed disposal sites and give you the waste transfer documentation for your records, so you can show it was dealt with correctly.

Before We Arrive

Access for a Suction Tanker

Tankers are large vehicles, so it helps to know about access before we arrive. When you get in touch, tell us:

  • Where the tanker can park, and whether the ground is firm enough
  • How far it is from there to the chamber, gully or tank
  • Any height, width or weight restrictions on the way in
  • Gates, barriers, site inductions or permits we need to know about
  • Any time restrictions, such as opening hours or deliveries
