I am pleased to be able to say that we are most satisfied with the way the work was carried out – the team worked well with us to ensure that it went smoothly overall. The final cost gave good value when compared to other quotes we had received. We were particularly pleased that your method of removal did result in all of the material being accommodated in the area that we had available.

In closing I would say that should we have a further requirement then we would use your company again.

I wish you and your team all the best for the New Year.

Yours sincerely,

Michael Thompson

We have recently used this team to clear, pump out and de-silt a moat/watercourse round our property. The location and immediate environment presented difficulties of access for heavy machinery (eg JCB) and silt pumping seemed to afford the least damaging option .

They first came with equipment and an inflatable and made a comprehensive survey on which they based charges.

There was field space to deposit the silt adjacent to our property.

The team came for a period of two weeks in November and removed water and silt and cleared to the base (8-10 ft in places) with a mini digger and further silt pumping.

They worked hard and well and showed good organisation. The whole operation afforded us the minimum of inconvenience and I should be happy to recommend them to anyone with similar requirements.

Dear Graham and Peter,

Now the work on our pond is successfully completed, we wanted to thank you properly for your help.    You have transformed an ugly sludge-filled, mosquito ridden eyesore into a water feature which, once it is planted up, will be a real asset to our gardens.    Already we can see the difference you have made to the outlook from the house over the pond and the weir.

Thank you for the long hours you put in to achieve such a good result.    We really appreciated your flexibility once the true extent of the silt levels was revealed.    I am sure it was not an easy job but Graham and Andy’s good humour and professionalism made it completely hassle free for us.

Thank you once again.

With best wishes
Caroline and Chris Grant

Come and visit us to find out more about our new pumping system and discuss your desilting needs.

Over time a membrane or clay lined reservoir will silt up, reducing the overall capacity of the reservoir. Desilting a reservoir  peridocally, will return it to it’s original capacity.

However, desilting a membrane or clay lined reservior can be tricky if you don’t want to damage the membrane in the process. Using traditional dredging methods is a sure way of damaging the membrane during the operation, and costing you more than you bargined for.

At Jex Plant, we are the only company in the UK that has the equipment and expertise to desilt membrane or clay lined reservoirs without causing damage to the membrane. Using our unique silt pumping methods we can remove the silt from your reservior quickly and easily.

If you have a membrane or clay lined reservoir that has reduced capacity due to silting, call us on 0845 689 0007 or 07768 234336 to have it brought back to full capacity without the cost of replacing the membrane.

Silt dredging usually involves heavy machinary that digs the silt up and places it in heavy trucks for removal to another location. Due to the amount of machinary and manpower required, and the environmental impact of such operations, silt dredging is a very expensive process even for small lakes or ponds.

Silt pumping however, removes the silt from your lake, pond or river using suction pumps to lift the silt and transfer it to another location. The silt can be contained in a holding tank, or subject to chemical analysis, can be spread on nearby land to form a nutrient laden fertiliser for crops or other land.

The main advantage of silt pumping, as opposed to silt dredging, is that it is quicker, requires less machinary and manpower, is more environmentally friendly, and as a consequence of these, silt pumping is less expensive than other forms of silt removal.

At Jex Plant, we have the expertise, experience and equipment to help you save money when compared with the cost of traditional dredge and dump methods.
