Services
Septic Tank Installation
We specialise in modern septic tank installations that comply with current environmental regulations. Our systems feature improved digestion processes for cleaner effluent discharge. Expert placement ensures optimal soakaway performance in Wirral's clay soil conditions. All installations include comprehensive aftercare guidance.
Drain Relining
Our trenchless drain relining technology repairs damaged pipes without excavation. Using resin polymer liners, we create structural repairs that match new pipe strength. This method preserves landscaping and minimises disruption for residential and commercial properties.
CCTV Drain Surveys
Advanced CCTV equipment allows precise internal drain inspections. We produce detailed reports showing drain layout, blockages, and structural issues. This non-invasive method identifies problems accurately, guiding targeted repairs and maintenance plans.
Land Drainage
We install effective land drainage systems to resolve waterlogged gardens. Our expertise balances drainage efficiency with seasonal moisture retention. Solutions include traditional French drains and modern sustainable systems tailored to local soil conditions.
Sewage Treatment
We supply and install advanced sewage treatment plants that exceed traditional septic tank performance. Our systems use aeration processes for superior waste digestion, producing cleaner effluent suitable for sensitive environments while maintaining low operational costs.

The team did a great job for us on a difficult site. The took care, were very responsive and professional. They even helped resolve cost issues with a neighbour on a shared system. Highly recommended.

Report
When we were buying our new house we needed someone to survey the existing septic system. It was quite a search, but finally someone recommended Gordon Hatton. Mike and the team did a great job on the survey, then came back to do the remedial work - an entire new system to replace our decrepit 1911 built one. The guys were punctual, respectful of our property, and did a great job of delivering on time with very, very minimal disruption to our garden (way less than we'd been led to expect). Would recommend unreservedly

They turned up within just a few hours, fixed the problem (which it turned out was not a simple one), they had all the equipment and were fast & efficient as well as professional. Wouldn't go anywhere else in future

An excellent service from this company. The team were professional, courteous and very helpful. They completed the job to the highest standard, restored all paving as they found it and left the site very clean and tidy. You would never know that such a big job had been carried out. Thanks to Mike, Barry and Steve. We can highly recommend this company.
