Find out moreSigns Your Oil Tank Needs Replacing
- Cracks, splits or bulging on a plastic tank, or rust and weeping seams on a steel tank
- Oil stains or a smell of heating oil around the tank or base
- A base that is cracked, sinking or uneven
- Oil running out faster than usual, which can point to a leak
- Water or sludge in the tank causing boiler problems
A leaking tank can contaminate soil and water, and clean-up costs are often far higher than a replacement. If you suspect a leak, call us straight away.
Do I Need a Bunded Oil Tank?
A bunded tank is a tank within a tank, so the outer skin catches oil if the inner one fails. One is required in many situations, for example where the tank holds more than 2,500 litres or sits close to a watercourse, drain or your property. Most replacement tanks fitted today are bunded. Ask us which applies to your site, and how the installation will be certified under Building Regulations.
Oil Tank and Oil Boiler Together
If you are replacing the tank, it is a good time to have the boiler checked too. We offer oil boiler servicing in Norwich for £120, including the filter and nozzle.
Planning an oil tank replacement in Norwich
Before requesting a replacement, tell us about your existing tank: its approximate capacity, whether it is plastic or steel, where it sits and how it is accessed. Photos of the tank and surrounding area can help the initial discussion. The right replacement depends on the property, the location and the installation requirements; choosing only by capacity or price can leave important details unresolved.
Ask for a written quotation that sets out the proposed tank, preparation of the base, removal of the existing tank and arrangements for any remaining oil. Access can affect how the old tank is removed and the replacement brought into position. Tell us about narrow paths, steps, gates or other restrictions before the work is planned. We can discuss the scope and whether a site assessment is needed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can you quote without seeing the existing tank?
Contact us with the tank details, postcode and access information. We will discuss what can be established from that information and whether a visit is needed before a written quotation can be prepared.
What happens to oil left in the old tank?
Tell us how much oil you believe is left. Handling remaining fuel and removing the old tank should be discussed as part of the quotation; do not assume either is included unless it is specified.
Is there a standard replacement price?
We do not publish a fixed oil tank replacement price. Tank specification, location, access and associated work can vary. Request a quotation for your particular property.
