    Whether you call it a gully emptier lorry, gully tanker, or gully sucker, we know exactly what it is—and how to help you finance it.

    What Is a Gully Emptier?

    A gully emptier (also known as a gully tanker or gully sucker) is a specialist vehicle fitted with vacuum and jetting systems used to extract sludge, silt, and wastewater from drains, gullies, culverts, and interceptors.

    These vehicles are essential for:

    • Drainage contractors

    • Highways maintenance firms

    • Local council suppliers

    • Wastewater management companies

    • Emergency response teams

    • Environmental and flood clearance teams

    Whether you need a jet/vac combination unit, a recycler gully tanker, or a lightweight emptier for rural work, we’ll help you finance the vehicle that keeps your contracts moving.

    Can We Help New Limited Companies? Absolutely.

    Just starting out? Don’t assume you’ll be turned away.

    Many traditional lenders say “no” to new businesses. But at First Oak Capital, we work with specialist funders who regularly support newly registered limited companies, especially those in industries like drainage, utilities, and waste.

    We’ll help you:

    • Present your application clearly

    • Explain your experience or secured contracts

    • Access lenders with flexible underwriting

    • Find finance that gets your business operational

    We love supporting early-stage businesses with the equipment they need to grow.

    How the Process Works

    We’ve made the finance process straightforward and fast—because when a contract is waiting, delays cost money.

    We compare lenders across our panel to find a finance option that fits your goals and cash flow.

    Step 3 – You review your options
    We present your offer clearly, with no jargon. You’ll know what’s required, what it costs, and what happens next.

    Step 4 – Sign the paperwork
    We handle the admin and keep things moving. No back-and-forth. No slow responses.

    Step 5 – Funds are released, and you’re ready to roll
    Once approved, we pay the supplier directly and the vehicle is yours to use.
