There are lots of reasons you might need to sort out an old oil tank – maybe you’re doing up your house, switching heating systems, worried about safety, or your tank’s just getting too old to trust. Whatever the reason, we can help with oil tank services across Winchester and Hampshire.
We handle domestic tank removal in Winchester from start to finish. Doesn’t matter if your tank’s still got fuel in it or if it’s been sitting empty for years – we’ll sort it out.
We always come out to have a proper look at your setup first. That way, we can work out the best way to do the job without charging you over the odds.
Underground Domestic Oil Tank Removal in Winchester
Loads of homes around Winchester have their oil tanks buried underground. Every property is different, though, so we always visit your place before starting any work.
When we come out, we check:
- How old your tank is and what condition it’s in
- How easy it is to get to and what might be in the way
- The best way to remove it from your specific property
Once we’ve got a plan, we drain out any leftover fuel, give the tank a good clean, and then dig it out.
Oil Tank Disposal & Recycling in Winchester
Sometimes we can lift a tank out in one piece. Other times – especially with bigger tanks or ones in awkward spots – we need to cut them up first. When we do have to cut a tank, we use cold cutting tools that won’t create sparks. Safety first and all that.
We don’t just chuck your old tank in a skip. Everything goes to proper recycling facilities. That includes:
- Any heating oil left in the tank
- Waste oil and sludge
- Contaminated materials, if we find any
When the job’s done, you get all the paperwork – gas-free certificates, disposal certificates, the lot. Good to have for your records.
Oil Tank Replacement & Relocation in Winchester
Most oil tanks last about 10 years, give or take. If yours is getting on a bit or showing signs of wear, we can replace and relocate, or install a new tank.
Sometimes moving your tank makes more sense than replacing it. Maybe the current spot isn’t ideal anymore, or regulations have changed, or you just want it somewhere else. After we’ve had a look at your property, we’ll talk through what makes sense for you.
