Tanks
End-to-end support for fuel security and performance
While we’re renowned for our wide range of high-quality fuels, we’re also a trusted tank partner for properties across Yorkshire and North West England. We understand that reliable storage is just as important as the product itself, and remain committed to helping homeowners keep supplies safe, compliant, and efficient, no matter where they’re located.
With a domestic oil tank inspection, customers have total peace of mind in the integrity of their setup, spotting signs of damage – like cracks, bulges, and corrosion. Meanwhile, heating oil tank cleaning removes pesky debris and sludge buildup that can compromise fuel performance. And if you need a new system entirely, our OFTEC-registered engineers handle safe removal and installation too.

How domestic oil tank installation works
Replacing your domestic fuel system can feel stressful, but it doesn’t have to be. With our fully qualified team of OFTEC-registered oil tank installers, most replacements – including removing the old tank – are completed within half a day. So, you’ll experience minimal disruption to your home and schedule, while feeling confident the switch is both safe and compliant.
Our experts will:
- Remove any good oil from your existing unit and store it securely in a holding vessel
- Decommission your old tank and pipework before removing them for safe recycling or environmentally responsible disposal
- Install your new tank, ensuring a strong foundation, secure positioning, and compliance with the latest building regulations
- Reconnect the new tank to the pipework and bleed to make sure it’s free from leaks and trapped air, and that all appliances run smoothly
- Transfer any good existing fuel back into your new tank
- Remove any waste oil, sludge, and the tank for environmentally responsible disposal
- Complete the necessary compliance sign off for the installation, ready for local building control to sign off on the installation

Reduce chance of sudden tank failure
Why domestic oil tanks need replacing
Home heating oil systems are highly durable, but they don’t last forever. Several factors – including daily wear, exposure to the elements, and even changes in regulation – can spur the need for a robust replacement.
You might need to consider a new tank if yours is:
- Single skinned – because these models have no secondary containment and are at greater risk of leaking oil, they face strict environmental and insurance requirements.
- Sun bleached (if the tank is plastic) – this fading is a sign that UV exposure has weakened the container, making it more brittle and prone to splitting.
- Rusty or corroded (if the tank is metal) – oxidation gradually deteriorates the metal both inside and outside, significantly reducing its load-bearing capacity.
- Unstable or damaged – an uneven base or cracks, dents, and bulges in the tank itself all compromise its structural integrity, increasing the risk of an oil leak.
- Incorrectly located – tanks placed too close to boundaries, drains, or watercourses breach building regulations, so they may need relocating to ensure compliance.
- Emitting a persistent fuel smell – a lingering odour often signals a slow, hard-to-spot leak, which should always be investigated rather than masked or ignored.
- Approaching or beyond its expected lifespan – most tanks are rated to last 15–20 years, after which ageing materials become less reliable, increasing the risk of leaks, repairs, and environmental harm.
If your tank is showing signs of age or wear and you are thinking about replacing it, request a domestic oil tank inspection to assess the condition of your current setup and get tailored advice from our experts.

“Old home fuel tank single skin. Too near our Domestic Borehole. New Tank arrived with team early morning. Not an easy site but new double skin tank complete with new platform. The replacement meant emptying oil out of old tank stored and returned to new tank after fit. No problems. We would definitely use the company again. Many thanks.“
