Cesspit & Septic Tank Emptying in Medway
D BODY Ltd provides cesspit and septic tank emptying across Medway, from the rural villages of the Hoo Peninsula to farms and homes on the edges of Rochester, Gillingham and Rainham.
We are a family-run, licensed waste carrier based just up the A229 in Maidstone, with more than 30 years of experience and our own fleet of vacuum tankers. We are available 24/7 for urgent call-outs.
Off-Mains Drainage on the Hoo Peninsula
Most of urban Medway is connected to the mains sewer, but many properties on the Hoo Peninsula are not. Homes, farms and smallholdings around Hoo St Werburgh, High Halstow, Cliffe, Cooling, St Mary Hoo, Allhallows and the Isle of Grain often rely on a cesspit, septic tank or sewage treatment plant.
Much of the peninsula is low-lying, and wet ground puts extra strain on soakaways, so keeping your tank emptied on time really matters here.
Cesspit Emptying in Medway
Because a cesspit has no outlet, it has to be pumped out regularly, often every few weeks for a family home. We set up a collection schedule that suits your tank size and household, and our tankers come back on the agreed dates. One-off and emergency emptying is available too.
Septic Tank & Sewage Treatment Plant Emptying
A septic tank should be desludged about once a year to stop solids reaching the soakaway. Sewage treatment plants also need emptying annually, along with a service of their pumps and electrics. Our cesspit and septic tank service covers emptying and maintenance of all three types of system, and we install septic tanks too.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes. We empty cesspits and septic tanks in Hoo St Werburgh, High Halstow, Cliffe, Cooling, St Mary Hoo, Allhallows, the Isle of Grain and the rest of the peninsula, on a one-off or regular basis.
A cesspit usually has a single manhole cover. A septic tank often has several manholes close together and may have vent pipes. A sewage treatment plant needs an electricity supply, has an alarm and usually has a slightly raised cover. If you are not sure, we can tell you when we visit.
Once you have booked, we do the rest. All we ask is clear access for our tanker, and it helps if you let us know where the tank is when you book.
