Is your septic tank ready for the wetter months?

With autumn underway and wetter weather becoming more frequent, now is a sensible time to make sure your septic tank and drainage system are in good working order.

Heavy rainfall and saturated ground can highlight existing drainage problems, particularly where a system hasn't been maintained properly.

If you've noticed slow drainage, unpleasant smells or standing water around your drainage area, it's worth having the system checked before the problem gets worse.

At DC Merrett, we provide reliable septic tank emptying services for domestic and commercial properties. Whether your tank is due for its routine empty or you need advice about a potential issue, our experienced team is here to help.

🚛 Big loads need the right people and the right equipment!

Moving heavy machinery and oversized loads takes more than a powerful truck. It takes careful planning, specialist equipment and an experienced team who know exactly what they're doing.

At DC Merrett, we have the fleet and expertise to handle a wide range of heavy haulage requirements, from construction machinery and industrial plant to abnormal loads that need extra care and preparation.

From planning the route and securing the load to getting everything safely to its destination, we take care of the details so our customers can concentrate on their projects.

Got something big that needs moving? We'd be happy to discuss how we can help.

DID YOU KNOW? 🚛

Moving heavy machinery involves a lot more than loading it onto a trailer and hitting the road.

Depending on the size and weight of the equipment, a machinery move can require site surveys, detailed route planning, permits and even dedicated es**rt vehicles before the journey begins.

That's why having an experienced team behind the move matters.

At DC Merrett, we can manage the whole process, from preparing and loading your machinery through to planning the journey and safely transporting it across the UK and Europe. Our specialist fleet includes low loaders capable of carrying loads up to 150 tonnes, extendable step frames, rigid lorries and crane lorries.

So, when you see one of our heavy haulage vehicles out on the road, there's usually been plenty of work going on behind the scenes to get it there!
