About E.E. Bartlett Ltd
E.E. Bartlett Ltd is a family business at the Eurocentre Industrial Estate in Great Yarmouth. Its roots go back to a farm haulage firm of the 1930s, and the present company formed in 1979. It started its septic tank emptying division in 1995 with a single tractor unit and tanker, and added a dedicated tanker lorry the following year.
It still runs haulage alongside the tanker work, and celebrated 30 years of septic tank emptying in 2025.

Who it suits
Bartlett suits households in the Broads, Lowestoft and the Waveney valley who want a long-established local firm rather than a national booking line. Because it empties pump chambers and treatment plants as well as tanks, one firm can look after a mixed system.
Low-lying ground around the Broads and Beccles can leave tanks sitting in a high water table. Ask before an empty whether your tank should be left part full in very wet weather, so it is not pushed up out of the ground.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which of your three numbers should I call for my village?
- Can you empty the tank and the pump chamber on the same visit?
- Should the tank be refilled with water after emptying in a wet winter?
