Groundworks contractor in Lewes for planned tank installations

Based in Hailsham. Sewage treatment plant installations. Domestic and commercial projects

What makes the whole job feel more straightforward

One contractor for ground and tank work

We handle the excavation, drainage runs, tank installation, connections, and reinstatement as one joined-up package. That means you're not left trying to coordinate separate trades when timing, levels, and site access all need to line up.

Planned for compliance-sensitive projects

If you're replacing an older system or preparing for a property sale, we plan the workaround suitable wastewater treatment and discharge requirements. Our process keeps the focus on correct siting, proper installation, and the practical details that matter when compliance is under scrutiny.

Set up for domestic and commercial sites

Some jobs need a compact, tidy approach. Others need heavier excavation equipment, haulage, and more involved drainage work. We travel from Hailsham ready to match the plant and groundworks approach to your project, whether the site is residential or commercial.

Groundworks and specialist tank installs that solve the messy stuff properly

Drainage problems rarely stay small for long. Poor flow, standing water, ageing systems, or a property sale can suddenly leave you needing practical groundworks and compliant wastewater solutions in Lewes. We carry out specialist installation work for packaged sewage treatment plants, rainwater harvesting tanks, and the drainage runs that make the whole system work as it should. From our Hailsham base, Kwikfield Construction Ltd travels across East Sussex with the right excavation equipment, managing groundworks, spoil removal, and installation in one coordinated job. That matters because levels, falls, siting, and discharge arrangements all need careful planning if you want to avoid costly rework later. We work on domestic and commercial projects, giving you a clear route from first assessment through to commissioning and reinstatement.

Planned installations with the groundworks handled from start to finish

Correct installation starts well before a tank goes into the ground. We assess the site, prepare the excavation, place the tank, connect inlet and outlet pipework, arrange ventilation, and handle electrical connection where required before commissioning the system and planning discharge to a suitable outfall. For rainwater harvesting, we look at tank size, how you want to use the stored water, site access for plant, and ground conditions so the design suits the job rather than fighting against it. Drainage and trenching often sit at the heart of the project, especially if you need new foul or surface water runs for an extension, a replacement system, or land that holds water after rain. Kwikfield Construction Ltd also coordinates backfill, compaction, ducting, and reinstatement, so your Lewes project moves forward in the right order and with fewer loose ends.

Frequently asked questions

When might you need a new sewage treatment plant at a property in Lewes?

A replacement is often needed when an older system no longer performs properly, when drainage issues keep returning, or when a property sale highlights the need for a compliant wastewater setup. We can assess the site and explain what groundworks, siting, and discharge arrangements are needed for a new installation.

What is included in a rainwater harvesting tank installation?

We normally handle excavation, base preparation, tank placement, filtration and pump setup, and the pipework needed to feed the intended outlets such as WCs, gardens, or irrigation points where applicable. We also consider access for machinery, ground conditions, and how the new system will connect with existing drainage.

Can you carry out drainage work as part of the same project?

Yes. We regularly complete foul and surface water drainage runs alongside tank installations, including trenching, ducting, connections, backfilling, compaction, and reinstatement. Keeping that work under one contractor helps avoid delays and gives you a more coordinated result on site.
