This is the very best time of year to build reedbeds. 

So give us a call to have your's built soon.

YES Vertical Flow, Modulated, Reedbeds :-

*   Work for Domestic, Agricultural and Industrial Waste Waters, reducing pollutant levels between 90-99%, producing Clean and Clear Stream Water Quality, and No Smell.

*   Are ideal for remote locations Houses, Housing Developments, Fruit Farms, Golf Clubs and Industrial Sites, where there is no connection to the standard sewer system.

*   Are approximately 5 times smaller than traditional Horizontal Flow Reedbeds, and can be more than half the price of alternative and substitute waste water treatment systems, such as package treatment systems, or bio-discs. Maintenance of tank and bio-disc systems can cost up to £5000 per year. Once the reedbeds are established, then they should not need further attention, unless there are extreme or unexpected events.

*   Help customers to solve their problems, meet legal requirements, and save on the costs of treatment, and the costs of discharge. 

*   Are modulated for ease of maintenance, and the ease of adding further modules, at a later time, should the population, or the workload increase.

*   Meet and Exceed the guidelines listed in The Good Building Guide GBG42, and the H Drainage Document used by Planners.

*   Have been built to solve problems of waste water treatment at more than 300 sites, over 17 years, for houses, multi-occupancy housing developments, Golf Clubs, Fruit Farm Populations, Food Processing Waste Waters, Woolen Industrial Waste Waters, Surface Run-Off, Quarry and Acid Mine Water Flows, Sludge Remediation, and Farms.

The Size of the YES Reedbed is based on treating 100L, per m2, per day. But then The Environment Agency's ( EA ) usage lists suggest each person uses 180L per day. The Good Building Guide GBG42 suggests for populations over 50 only need 1m2 per person per day. But then for multi-occupancy housing development sites, where many people can shower, or wash clothes simultaneously, then the usage figure of 180L is a better guide for a working system.

Flow Rates need to be A Little and Often, and NOT ALL AT ONCE

A Septic or Settlement Tank is needed to settle the solids, so that the wets flow through the Reedbeds. Often existing septic / settlement tanks will work perfectly well and may not need replacing. New, is not always better, it is often cheaper. We are often called to solve problems of failed Package Treatment or Bio-Disc systems, which can fail after only 4 to 5 years.

Percolation Tests. You may need to do a percolation test. Click through on the link on the left hand side, to see how its done. We can help. Some people have charged £350 to do this, so be careful.

With all the best will in the world, we are willing to help as much as we can. However, we can only be responsible for the building of the Reedbed Systems. We cannot be held responsible for situations outside our control, or experience, or unknown conditions.

If you have any specific requirements regarding the groundwork, please let us know while we are on site. This way we can ensure you are happy with the finished works

YES Ltd work throughout The UK and Northern Ireland. We have also worked in Eastern Europe, Zambia, Mauritius, India, Singapore, Australia. We have been to California, and are negotiating for a project in China

YES Ltd often work through Architects, Housing Developers, and Environmental Specialists. We have worked for a host of National Companies

YES Ltd have built more than 300 reedbeds, over 17 years. We are registered with CHAS and ISO 9001. We have a Certificate of Experience for the whole of the European Union, and have a Network Rail National Innovation Award for 2006

Melvyn Rutter BSc Hons studied Human Ecology, and has a City & Guilds Teaching Certificate. He has taught Environmental Science over 7 years in Further Education Colleges. 

Melvyn has worked as Consultant to Barnsley Municipal Council for the past 6 years, on their mine water flow site at Dodworth.

Network Rail Award for Innovation

In 2006, we were invited to submit a project for a Network Rail award for innovation. We missed out on the big prize, but still got the innovation award. The big prize did go to a multi-million pound project. Our £3,500 Reedbed was a much smaller type of project. But we were up against Corus and Mersey Travel, both multi-million pound companies.

The event was held at The Natural History Museum in London. It was a great event to meet with Network Rail management. The awards were presented by Phillipa Forrester. 

No other system works better, few work as good, and none at these prices

We design and build Reedbeds. We don't give our designs away for free. Please don't ask, thank you.

When People say they've heard Reedbeds don't work, try speaking to people who actually know.

Guaranteed success depends on the very best information, plus a combination of good design and build, together with the correct operation and maintenance. Not working together, or a culture of blame can lead to failure.

The YES Reedbeds will work well on installation, and increase in effectiveness over the following three months. They can be constructed at any time of the year, avoiding severe frosts and drought. The proposal for our constructed reedbed is as follows :-

·   We will design & build the Vertical Flow Reedbed Filtration System 

·   We will make 1 return visit soon after construction. Further return visits carry a call out charge of     £50 (small)      £100 (med)     £150 (large) delete as necessary

·  With good maintenance and when operated correctly, Yes Reedbeds can achieve a typical discharge of : - 10mg/L BOD,  10mg/L Suspended Solids  &  5 mg/L Ammonia, within 3 months, on average, 95% reduction of inflow levels.

·  Flow Rates must be a little and often, and not all at once.

·  When necessary, we will undertake tests, to ensure the outflow meets with Environment Agency requirements.

·   We can construct a living soak-away for an additional cost of £100. This would be for discharges to land, or for very strict discharge consents. The living soak-away is planted with Iris and Willow. The size will be appropriate to the size of Reedbed.

Fencing will be required on sites subject to animal grazing ( rabbits, cows, sheep, goats, pigs, horses, etc ). Costs for fencing and further pipe work, over and above what is required for the construction of the Reedbeds, are additional to the prices quoted. Any unauthorised alterations to the Reedbeds are not the responsibility of YES Ltd, and remedial work will be charged for.

Payment. For all systems we require 30% of the total cost with the order, prior to construction; the balance to be paid on completion, given to our staff before departure. We only accept a 7 day delay in payment with prior agreement.

Payments can be made through PAYPAL through ec.holliday@ntlworld.com

Does Winter Effect How YES Reedbeds Work ? No !

Some Web Sites say their reedbeds have frozen during winters, and that their design means that reedbeds are not suitable for the UK climate.

Our design of YES Reedbeds is shown to be perfectly good for all seasons in the UK. Our first Reedbeds was tested in January, 1997, 1000 feet above sea level, in the snow, showing 99% reductions in ammonia, nitrates and phosphates. When the whole region is white with frosts, and pipes are frozen, our reedbeds continue to flow. 

YES Reedbed survived winter in the Czech Republic perfectly well, 3000 feet above sea level, and in temperatures between -15C and -30C, under 4 metres of snow, during a 3 month period. The reedbed continued to flow, and pollutants were being reduced by 75%. This was a good result under the conditions.

Reedbeds use the same bacterial activity as package treatment systems, and sewage works. All climatic conditions will affect bacteria in the same way for reedbeds, or for sewage works. We take it for granted sewage works work perfectly well all year round. The evidence is that our YES Vertical Flow Reedbeds can expect to work in a similar fashion, throughout the year.

We can only work on evidence from our design of reedbed. Our research and development provided a design well able to work during winters in the UK. The idea that our reedbeds won't work in winter is absolute rubbish !

Testimonial Product endorsement  

Hi Mel, Thanks so much for this.  You have been a real star. David said you really knew your stuff and was quite impressed with your knowledge. Once again, many thanks indeed for all the trouble you have taken.  I hope we meet again in the future Kind regards RITA READ Secretary to David Broome

1)                  Many thanks for the new bed, which should be all our problems behind us,

Please give Tony a very big thank you, crikey can he work. He got through a hell of a lot of work in those 3 and a bit days.

Many thanks and all the best

2)                  Many thanks for your last communication.  Your philosophical specification and detailed analysis of reedbed technology should blow Billy Dickson's doubts out of thr water! I sent a copy to the Building Standards Officer and await his reply.

Meantime SEPA have now both approved the installation and formerly accepted the discharge and registered the treatment system.

3)                  Just a note to thank you and the team for the installation of the reed bed in such a timely manner. It has been a pleasure to do business with you. Roger Brearley (Chairman) who was invoiced is passing this on to our Treasurer for immediate payment 

Regards and thank you again

4)                  Thanks Melvyn that is great news and as you say it couldn't be better so thanks for all your help in the matter. Steve

5)                  As promised a very tidy and neat installation. I will get your cheque off as soon as Thanks Melvyn

6)                  Melvyn  just a quick note to say how pleased we are with todays work.it was a pleasure to have Tony on site. many thanks

7)                  Thanks for the message.  I just got back in time to meet Tony before he left.  He seems to have done a good job and it all looks tidy.  We have had a lot of rain since he left so the plants should be well watered in

8)                  Just finished  and Tony off to Peterhead.  Nice man.  No problems.

9)                  Melvyn,
Your chap certainly seems to know his business, the reed bed was complete in no time at all. We are keeping it watered at infrequent intervals and hope to have some "genuine" use soon.
 

10)              Hi Melvyn, Everything seems to be working fine Thanks in advance for your advice

Its a Thought

Rainwater Harvesting

Every m2 of roof, could collect 1000 litres ( 1 metric ton ) of rainfall each year. (more in the west, less in the east of the UK)

A low cost, environmentally thoughtful idea would be to collect rainfall into a pond. Divide as 2/3 pond, 1/3 sump. This way you could easily save 5, 6, even 9 tons in the sum section.

The collected rainfall could water your garden, provide water for washing cars and jet washing garden paths.

If every house did this, then my street could save 400,000 litres a year. Leeds could collect more than 2 million tons of water each year.

So there is no reason to use drinking water for these things again. Every ton of water collected, leaves a ton in the reservoirs for everyone to drink.

Problems solved !

Now where's my drink
