Expert Drainage & Septic Systems in Rural Staffordshire
For property owners in Staffordshire’s rural villages—from the Moorlands to the outskirts of Lichfield—efficient drainage is critical. Whether you are living "off-grid" with a private septic system or managing a farm estate with complex deep drainage needs, Tilsley Groundworks is the region’s trusted partner for installation, repair, and compliance.
We are not just a "drain unblocking" service. We are civil engineers specialising in the heavy infrastructure of water management. Tilsley Groundworks provides full turnkey solutions for new septic tanks, sewage treatment plants, and deep drainage networks. Because we operate our own fleet of excavators and heavy haulage vehicles, we can access remote sites that others struggle to reach, delivering a complete "supply and install" service without the delays of plant hire.
Septic Tanks & Sewage Treatment Plants
The laws regarding off-mains drainage have changed. Under the General Binding Rules, it is no longer legal for a septic tank to discharge directly into a watercourse (like a ditch or stream). If your current system does this, you must upgrade it.
We help Staffordshire homeowners navigate these regulations. We specialise in:
- Septic Tank Installation: For properties with suitable ground conditions, we install modern, robust tanks with compliant drainage fields (soakaways).
- Sewage Treatment Plants: For sites with heavy clay soil (common in Staffordshire) or where space is limited, we install active treatment plants. These units treat the wastewater to a standard clean enough to be discharged into a watercourse, keeping you compliant with the Environment Agency.
- Percolation Tests: Before we dig, we test. Our team conducts professional soil porosity tests to determine exactly what kind of drainage field your land can support, ensuring your new system doesn't fail or back up.
