Yaldend Posted June 7, 2002 Share Posted June 7, 2002 It seems the more I find out the more I need to find out!We've been in touch with a builder in France who informs us that when installing a fos-sep it is absolutely crucial to have a soil test( at 250) which determines which type of fos-sep is required.We are on clay.Additionally he informs us that the size of tank required is obtained from the number of bedrooms a property has, not how long it is occupied for, or how many people etc. We had agreed a shared cost of 2000 for this installation but the size fos sep he is recommending is 3700 before installation!! I haven't found anything referencing these matters in the archives so I seek info from you learned folk!Deb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grandviergne Posted June 14, 2002 Share Posted June 14, 2002 Soil test is not obligatory but planning permission is. Is the FS gold plated at 3500? A concrete 5000l installed should cost you no more than 2000. That's big enough for a 10 person Gite, which is what we have. If you need any further info contact me.

I've never heard of soil testing, in my experience the local knowledge of the mayor and his team is all that is required. The prices you quote seem astronomic to me.RegardsCharles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
