Terms of use

Last updated 17 July 2026.

These terms govern your use of the Kernow Septic website and its tools. By using the site you accept them.

Guidance, not certification

Our compliance checker, cost calculator and emptying diagnostic are free tools that give indicative guidance only. They are not a formal compliance certificate, a survey, or a fixed quote, and they are not legal or conveyancing advice. The rules they reference are the Environment Agency's General Binding Rules for England; different rules apply in Wales and Scotland. Always confirm your specific position with a professional assessment before making decisions.

Estimates

Cost estimates are ballpark ranges based on typical jobs and the details you enter. Actual prices depend on your property and are confirmed by a quote, usually after a site visit.

Liability

We take care to keep the information on this site accurate, but we do not warrant it is complete or error-free, and we are not liable for decisions made solely on the basis of the tools or content. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law.
