Who we help
If your site has grounds, kitchens, or kit on the meter, we should talk.
We work with UK businesses across six broad sectors. The specifics differ; the overcharges rhyme.
Golf clubs & sports grounds
Fairways and pitches that drain to soakaways. Clubhouse kitchens on commercial tariffs.
Course drainage and irrigation are the two biggest sources of overcharge. Fairways drain to ditches, ponds, and soakaways, not the public sewer, yet surface water drainage is on most bills. Clubhouse kitchens often sit a tier too high for trade effluent.

Garden centres & nurseries
Heavy irrigation, glasshouses, plant-yard runoff that never reaches the sewer.
Irrigation that returns to soil never enters the sewer. Polytunnels and glasshouses with separate meters that aren't billed correctly. Trade effluent applied to plant-wash bays at hospitality tiers.

Hotels & hospitality
Multi-meter sites, laundry trade effluent, function-room standing charges.
Multi-meter sites with one bill payer. Laundry trade effluent at hotel-restaurant tiers. Disused outbuildings still on the standing charge. Multi-site groups benefit most.

Schools & multi-academy trusts
Sites pooled under one bill payer. Sports fields, kitchens, and disused buildings still on the meter.
MATs and federations pool bills across multiple sites. Sports fields, swimming pools, and detached blocks left on the meter after closure. VAT applied to qualifying education use.

Farms & rural estates
Livestock, irrigation, mixed-use. Bills rarely match actual draw-off.
Mixed-use estates make for messy bills. Surface drainage on rural acreage is rarely applicable but commonly charged. Tenancies billed centrally without splits. Livestock and irrigation usage often estimated for years.

Manufacturing & industrial
Trade effluent tiers, mains/process splits, and meters left on after kit retirement.
Trade effluent tiers that don't match the COD/BOD reality. Process water billed as mains. Meters left on after kit retirement, lines re-routed. Independent effluent testing often pays for itself.
