Universal Tankers provides professional septic tank emptying services for residential, commercial, and rural properties that rely on off-mains drainage systems. Regular emptying prevents blockages, overflows, and the need for costly repairs. Our team uses purpose-built vacuum tankers to safely extract waste and leave your tank clean and fully operational.
We offer both scheduled maintenance and emergency call-outs to suit the needs of each site. Every collection is handled in compliance with the Environmental Protection Act 1990 and the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011, offering complete peace of mind and continued system reliability.
Our grease trap and oil interceptor removal services are designed for commercial kitchens, food production facilities, and industrial premises that produce fats, oils, and grease as part of their daily operations. Without regular emptying, these materials can solidify and cause serious drainage blockages, equipment failures, and breaches of environmental compliance.
Universal Tankers provides thorough removal using specialist vacuum tankers to restore system performance and reduce the risk of pollution. Routine maintenance helps businesses remain compliant with trade effluent regulations while avoiding disruption and the high costs associated with emergency callouts or enforcement action.
Industrial operations generate a wide range of liquid wastes that require professional management and compliant disposal. Our vacuum tankers are engineered to handle complex and heavy-duty materials, including sludge, effluent, and process by-products from manufacturing and treatment sites. We work closely with site and facilities managers to deliver reliable, efficient, and environmentally responsible services, whether as part of an ongoing contract or a one-off requirement. Every collection is completed under strict adherence to waste classification and handling regulations, including the Waste (England and Wales) Regulations 2011 and the Duty of Care framework.
