Cesspit and septic tank services in New Romney

The Marsh is flat, low lying and sits on a high water table, which is exactly the combination that shortens the life of an older tank and makes regular emptying more important, not less.

Our New Romney work runs from the town itself out across the Marsh, so Littlestone, Greatstone, Old Romney, Brookland and Dymchurch are ordinary ground for us rather than a special trip, and the same round covers them.

Working in New Romney

• High water table across the Marsh means groundwater can get into a cracked tank and fill it with clean water.
• Cesspits here often need emptying every four to six weeks rather than the usual eight.
• Coastal wind and salt take their toll on covers and fittings, so we check them every visit.
• New Romney sits in the Folkestone and Hythe district, and this stretch of coast falls inside the Dungeness, Romney Marsh and Rye Bay designations.
• That matters when you are replacing rather than emptying, because a new discharge within 50 metres of those designations cannot use the General Binding Rules, which is part of why so much of this coast runs on sealed cesspools.
