Every project begins with a free on-site assessment.
We evaluate the best location for your oil tank, considering access, ground stability, environmental factors, and fire separation distances. This ensures the installation meets OFTEC regulations and Building Control requirements.
2. Specification & Design
We recommend the best type and size of tank for your needs — whether it’s a bunded plastic tank, steel tank, or underground installation.
We’ll also plan any required base preparation, pipework, and connections to your heating system.

If you’re replacing an existing tank, our engineers will safely drain and remove the old unit, including any residual oil, sludge, or waste, for environmentally responsible disposal.

Frequently Asked Questions
If your tank is over 10 years old or showing signs of wear such as cracks, rust, leaks, or bulging, it’s best to consider a replacement.

Usually no, planning permission isn’t needed for oil tank replacement. However, it may be required if your property is in a conservation area, near a listed building, or close to a watercourse. If you’re unsure, it’s best to check with your local planning authority before installation.
Most tank replacements are completed within one working day.
If a new concrete base or additional groundwork is required, the installation may take two to three days to allow for preparation and curing before the tank is fitted and commissioned.
