Newquay (TR7, TR8) has a busy seasonal coast but a quiet, rural hinterland — and a lot of holiday lets and farmhouses rely on private drainage. We connect property owners across Quintrell Downs, St Columb, Crantock, Cubert, Mawgan Porth and Holywell Bay with licensed septic tank specialists who know the area.
Holiday-let owners around Newquay use us a lot because tank levels spike during high season and a backed-up tank in peak summer is the last thing anyone needs. We can usually fit emergency emptying around peak-season changeover days — give us as much notice as you can and we'll work it in.

Everything you need to know about septic tank emptying in Newquay and the surrounding area.
Septic tank emptying in Newquay typically costs between £150 and £300, depending on tank size, access, and how far the specialist needs to travel. Cesspits usually cost more due to larger volumes. Emergency or out-of-hours callouts may incur an additional charge — we always recommend getting a quote up front.
Most domestic septic tanks in the Newquay area should be emptied every 6 to 12 months. A family of four with a 2,700-litre tank typically needs annual emptying. Smaller tanks, larger households, or heavy holiday-let use can mean more frequent service. Slow drains or odours usually mean it's overdue.
Many of the specialists in our Newquay network offer same-day service when their schedule allows. Tell us your timeline in the quote form and we'll match you with someone who can meet it. Same-day isn't guaranteed but is often achievable across TR7 and TR8 and surrounding areas.
You don't need a permit to have your tank emptied, but the waste must be disposed of by a licensed waste carrier registered with the Environment Agency. All specialists in our Newquay network hold the necessary licences. Under the General Binding Rules (2020), your tank must also discharge to a drainage field — not directly to a watercourse.
We cover Newquay and the surrounding villages and hamlets across TR7 and TR8, including Quintrell Downs, St Columb, Crantock, Cubert, Mawgan Porth, Holywell Bay and Goonhavern. If you're not sure whether your address is in our patch, give us a call — chances are we can sort it.
All waste is transported by licensed tanker to an approved treatment facility or sewage works. The specialists we work with are fully registered waste carriers with the Environment Agency, ensuring legal and environmentally responsible disposal. A waste transfer note can be issued on request.
