Drainage Consultancy:
Building on a Solid Foundation
BGS Environmental provides expert advice, design, planning, and compliance solutions for managing both foul water and modern stormwater systems. Our team assesses the unique needs of each project, offering customized drainage designs that meet all current UK regulations.
This includes Sustainable Drainage Systems (SuDS), which is a legal requirement for most new developments, as well as percolation testing, drainage field design, and providing solutions for non-compliant septic tanks. We ensure your project meets all necessary standards, such as the General Binding Rules, BS 6297, BRE 365, and DOC H.
Do you need foul or stormwater planning and design assistance?
Environmental Permits:
Navigating Complexity with Confidence
The environmental permit process can be complex and time-consuming. We guide clients through every step, ensuring applications are correctly submitted to avoid delays and unnecessary costs.
We can assist with a range of applications, whether you need to transfer, surrender, or vary a permit, or apply for a bespoke permit to discharge.
Flood Risk Activities:
Protecting Your Project & The Environment
Working beside a watercourse or within a flood zone requires careful management. We assist our clients in planning and submitting robust flood risk assessments and permit applications to the Environment Agency. This ensures your project can proceed safely and in full compliance with all safety protocols.

Compliancy Assessments:
Clarity for Property Transactions
Non-compliant drainage systems are a common reason for house purchases to fall through. We conduct extensive drainage compliance reports across the UK, providing buyers and sellers with detailed breakdowns of how their systems adhere to the general binding rules.
Our goal is to provide reassurance and clarity through in-depth reports and one-to-one explanations from our surveyors.

Wastewater Servicing:
Protecting Your Permit & Your System
Ongoing servicing and maintenance are essential for all treatment plants and are a condition of a valid permit to discharge. Our engineers provide a thorough 15-point service and sampling assessment, followed by a same-day electronic report, to ensure your system continues to operate efficiently and meets all regulatory discharge qualities.
