Gastines Posted January 26, 2006 Share Posted January 26, 2006 Yes, did ours a few years ago. If you go through the process of soil test, they virtually tell you the size of tank/drainage etc, Get you permis from the Marie, fill in 4 copies and hopefully after a month you should get the go ahead. When I did mine,6 years ago, the complete kit of tank/degreaser pot/6 inspection pots and pipework/membrane cost about £500 . Gravion/sand extra. There is always someone in the commune with a JCB, ask at the mairie.Chap charged me £250 to dig all trenches and the hole for the tank,and put the the tank in place.I cleaned out the trenches and levelled up,put the granit chips in,pipework and pots etc and digger chap came back and levelled all the rest of the ground for me. 3 days of very hard/heavy work.Regards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
