About Us

Mantair is a family run business that is trusted by thousands of customers and has grown over several decades to be one of the most established and recognised brands in the ‘off mains’ drainage sector, with a reputation for solving domestic septic tank problems and experts in installing new sewage treatment systems. With an unrivalled depth of technical knowledge and customer service levels, we are the preferred choice for many homeowners, county estates, surveyors, estate agents, charities, councils, loss adjusters, and various other clients.

The Mantair Brand was initially formed by Andrew Skilling in 1987 to focus on the design and manufacture of the ‘innovative’ Mantair septic tank conversion unit, with the Company being the industry pioneers in septic tank upgrades and conversions since this time. Mantair has evolved over the last four decades to provide a ‘one stop’ solution for all ‘off mains’ drainage applications.

The organisation was incorporated as a Limited Company in 1998 by Andrew Skilling and Kevin Skilling. Today, three of Andrew’s sons: James Skilling (Managing Director), Matthew Skilling (Technical Director), and Kevin Skilling (Director), lead the business and have been instrumental in its growth and success. The company proudly remains family-owned, with all shares held exclusively by family members. This personal and human element underpins the strong family values that continue to shape and guide the way the organisation operates.
