Who it suits
P.J. Cole suits owners looking for a single firm to handle the routine empty and the bigger jobs, such as a camera survey, a repair or replacing the system with a treatment plant. Its size also suits larger systems, such as those serving a smallholding, a pub or several houses.
Around Horsham and the Weald, many tanks sit at the end of long drives or across fields. Tell the office how far the tank is from where a lorry can park, so it sends a tanker with enough hose.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which of your centres would cover my address, and how soon could a tanker come?
- How long is the hose on the tanker you would send?
- If the empty shows a problem, can you survey the pipes on the same visit?
