Our Pump Hire & Water Solutions Services
Pump Hire
From the dense infrastructure of Central London to the coastline at Dover and rural Kent and East Sussex, our London depot supplies diesel and electric pumps built to work across a range of environments.
Our engineers size every job to the site, whether that's a single pump for a contractor or a full multi-pump setup for a major scheme, with 24/7 emergency call-out available across London, Kent, Essex, and East Sussex.
Water Tank Hire (SelTank)
London's water network carries some of the highest population pressure anywhere in the UK, and extra storage capacity is often needed fast, whether for planned utility works or unplanned pressure on the system. Our water tank hire solution, SelTank, gives utilities and contractors sealed, scalable storage for wastewater, stormwater, and sludge without the wait for a permanent tank.
Deployed in as little as a day and built to link together as volumes rise, SelTank keeps projects moving whether you're working in the capital or out on the Kent coast.
Sewer Bypass Pumping
Much of London's sewer network dates back to the Victorian era, and it sits alongside a river system and coastline that reach from the Thames Estuary to the White Cliffs of Dover. Our bypass systems keep flows moving safely through maintenance, repair, and upgrade works, whatever's underneath the surface or however sensitive the surroundings.
Our London team manages the full process, from flow calculations to on-site setup, with remote monitoring throughout.
Site Dewatering
Ground conditions vary enormously across our region, from London clay and historic buried infrastructure in the capital to the chalk of the North and South Downs and the low-lying reclaimed land of the Thames Estuary and Essex marshes. Our dewatering specialists assess the ground first and use proven wellpoint and pumped systems to keep excavations stable and safe.
Whether it's a major infrastructure project in London or groundworks out in Kent or Essex, we specify the right kit for the conditions in front of us, not a generic setup.
Water Treatment Solutions
Delivered with our sister company Siltbuster, our water treatment packages handle clarification, pH correction, and chemical or biological treatment before discharge - work that matters across a region that includes the Thames, the Kent and Sussex coastline, and protected landscapes like the South Downs.
We support projects of any scale across London and the South East, keeping you compliant without slowing your project down.
Flood Response & Emergency Pumping
The Thames brings genuine flood risk to London and the Essex and Kent estuary towns, and the coastline from Southend to Eastbourne carries its own exposure to storm surges and coastal flooding.
Our London team is ready to provide support when you need us across London, Kent, Essex, and East Sussex.
