Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Allerton's work installing a new domestic sewage treatment plant was first rate. From the initial visit and quote through to the installation everything was prompt, efficient, friendly and lived up to all promises and expectations. The installation team were great to work with, and despite some interesting old drainage issues when excavating the new location and decommissioning the old septic tank, they maintained their good humour and professionalism throughout. I can highly recommend their services. Thank you.

Excellent system and the engineer (Dayton) who carried out our annual service recently is clearly very skilled, taking the time to explain things to us and ensuring the septic tank was working correctly, he also enjoys his job which is refreshing to see. The tank still doesn't need emptying after 3 years, very satisfied!

Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Many thanks to Allerton Bradley and especially Jason, Chris, James, Aaron and the team for a top rate service from start to finish. Had a new Diamond DMS3 water treatment plant installed to replace our old septic tank. Extremely professional installation, great communication throughout from the guys on site and the office, tidy, punctual and a fantastic end result. I would say I'm not the easiest to work for, have very high standards, know exactly the job i want done, do not employ many companies as prefer to carry out most jobs myself, however it was a pleasure having these guys on site. Would not hesitate to recommend. Oh and its great to be able to use the loo's etc whenever needed rather than going to the local garden center to use their facilities!!! Many Thanks, Graham & Catherine

What are our customers saying?
"Cannot praise Allerton enough, particularly Aaron who was our main point of contact. Needed to get a septic tank inspection done quickly so as not to hold up a house purchase. Aaron juggled the diary and fitted us in. Clear and concise report with exactly the info we needed to keep the solicitors happy! And well priced compared to other companies we had phoned. Engineer who attended also spotted a small build up and cleared it on the spot with no extra charge. Excellent customer service. Thanks to everyone!"

Operation
How does the Allerton ConSept Work?
ConSept illustration is not drawn to scale.
The Allerton ConSept will convert your existing septic tank or cesspool into a fully functional Sewage Treatment Plant producing a final effluent that can be discharged into a water course or soakaway. (We can help with the Environment Agency permit)
The raw sewage enters the septic tank which will become the aeration zone. Air blown from the Blower causes agitation in this area and breaks ups solids.
The Allerton ConSept is an aerobic treatment system and the bubbling air encourages the growth of aerobic bacteria. This is a huge improvement on traditional septic tanks which are anaerobic.
The space in the Allerton ConSept acts as a settlement zone, allowing fine solids to settle out. The treated effluent is lifted to the shallow sample chamber by syphonic action. From here the water can directly go to a water course, providing you have a permit from the environment agency.
Alternatively, the water can go into the existing soakaway as it now has a head of water to push it along the pipe and upwards into the topsoil. From here it finds its way sideways and downwards.
The plug in the outlet pipe prevents water in the ground getting into the septic tank and manholes near the house. It separates the house from any groundwater so your drains will remain clear.
