Tanker Services in Cambridge

Many Cambridgeshire businesses and larger homes generate liquid waste from drainage, treatment or trade processes. Tanker services collect and transport this waste safely, ensuring it is disposed of at licensed facilities.

We deal with the removal of foul water, flood water, interceptor contents, and other non-hazardous waste from locations including Sawston, Newmarket, and Histon. All work is handled in line with environmental guidelines.

Over time, silt, stones, and debris collect in sewers, gullies, and road drains, particularly near rural or tree-lined areas like Great Shelford and Fulbourn. Our tankers vacuum up this built-up material efficiently.

Regular de-silting and gully emptying reduces the risk of surface water flooding and damage to drainage assets. It’s an important maintenance step for schools, business parks and residential estates.

Rural properties or older homes in Cambridgeshire villages often rely on septic tanks for wastewater management. These tanks need regular emptying to work correctly and avoid overflows.

Our team provides routine and emergency septic tank emptying, with waste taken to an approved processing site. Inspection and servicing can also be carried out to help spot problems before they escalate.

Car parks, forecourts and industrial premises often have interceptors to trap oil and silt before they enter the drains. These units fill up over time and lose effectiveness if not cleaned.

Vacuum tanker cleaning removes trapped oil, sludge and debris, ensuring compliance with environmental standards. We help businesses in areas like Ely and Great Shelford keep their drainage fully operational.

Heavy rainfall sometimes leads to surface water or waste backing up in basements, gardens or car parks in areas like Ely or Milton. When drains overflow or internal flooding occurs, a vacuum tanker can quickly remove large volumes of water and waste.

Our tankers can be deployed on short notice to help manage emergencies and reduce damage to property. We target a one-hour response time within Cambridgeshire to limit disruption and begin clean-up promptly.

Most tanker vehicles are fitted with high-pressure water jetting equipment. This allows us to clear stubborn blockages, silt, or grease build-ups inside drains and pipes at the same time as removing liquid waste.

Jetting is especially useful for large diameter pipes or long drainage runs found on farms or commercial facilities across Cottenham and Waterbeach. This restores full flow and helps prevent recurring issues.

Catering premises in Cambridge, Cherry Hinton or Newmarket often have grease traps installed to stop fats and oils entering the main drains. These traps require periodic emptying and cleaning.

A vacuum tanker removes grease waste cleanly and safely, helping to prevent smells and blockages. We offer convenient grease trap servicing for restaurants, pubs, and food production facilities.

Larger blocks of flats or commercial sites across Trumpington or Milton use pump stations to move wastewater from lower levels. These require both electrical and hydraulic maintenance.

Our engineers inspect and empty pump chambers using a tanker, and check for blockages or mechanical faults. This proactive approach prevents costly pump failures and flood risks.

All repair work carried out as part of a tanker service comes with a written guarantee for your peace of mind. This covers repairs to drainage systems, replacement pipework or other remedial works completed during tanker visits.

You will receive full documentation after work is done. We are fully insured and all engineers are certified to carry out this specialist work in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire.
