TNT Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 I know that to get an accurate price I will need to get estimates, but I urgently need to get a fairly good idea of replacing a fosse septic. It is for a 6 bedroom house and there is no problem with space as the house has unobstructed gently sloping land extending about 100 meters. The land I would guess is not greatly absorbent as during a recent visit with light rain the day before, the ground was still retaining moisture close to the surface was way slightly “squidgy” As I explained, I really just need a gustimate Thanks for you help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pommier Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 We paid about €3500 two years ago, although that was a smaller house than yours (3-4 bedrooms)Cheryl Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lou Posted January 21, 2007 Share Posted January 21, 2007 We've just been quoted a bit more than 4,500 euros for ours.EDIT our house is also smaller though - the quote is for a 4000 litre tank and filter bed approx 6 x 5 mLou Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quillan Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 Out of interest what is the bulk of the prices, materials or labour? Are these kits you can buy from Brico Depot any good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave&Olive Posted January 22, 2007 Share Posted January 22, 2007 hi ok you could probable for a 3000ltr system buy all the materials including the" ingredients" for the sand filter for say €2000 the kits you can get in the brico`s are really a starter kit and seemed to be only geared for a piped type drainage field . it`s the ease of access and removing the " digout " that raises the price . take a 6mtr X 4mtr sand filter dug out 1.2mtr deep.= 29 m3 x 1.74= 50 tonnes to remove and put back easy to get rid off on a large garden ,easy to put back if you can get a large lorry to tip the 30 tonne of sand back in . with a wheelbarrow>>>>>>>>>>> dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Babbles Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 We are just having one installed at the moment which meets the 2007 and will be certified standards costing 10,800, its a difficult site as its on quite a slope the soil is clay so we need massive gravel beds we had 4 diggers onsite at one point. This seemed to be the going rate in Gers for a large fosse but other peoples do seem cheaper, not sure why but now they do have to be certified so I don't know how you'd get on with a DIY job.Happy Digging!
