Tank Cleaning: Our Approach
We look at your tank's shape, the stuff in it, and what it's made of to start with. This helps us pick the best way to clean it, while thinking about its size, how to get in, and UK rules.
Our specialised setup includes:
- Ultra-high pressure water jetting systems (up to 40,000 PSI) with rotating nozzle technology for precision scale removal
- Operating pressure: Up to 40,000 PSI (2,750 bar)
- Flow rate: 5-25 liters per minute (adjustable)
- Nozzle rotation: 1,000 RPM for maximum surface coverage
- Water consumption: 80% less than conventional methods
- ATEX-rated intrinsically safe vacuum extraction units capable of removing solids up to 50mm in diameter
- Positive displacement vacuum systems with 1,500 CFM capacity for rapid sludge extraction
- Chemical dosing systems calibrated to 0.01% accuracy for precise application in sensitive environments
- Remote CCTV inspection systems with explosion-proof lighting for confined space pre-assessment
Our trained staff follow set rules when working in confined spaces and dealing with harmful materials, whatever cleaning job we take on.

Havant Tank Cleaning Services: What We Clean
Fuel Tank Cleaning Havant
With 450+ fuel tank cleanings in Havant since 2011, we know how to tackle any contamination. Our senior staff members bring 30+ years of hands-on experience, handling everything from bacteria in long-term tanks to urgent diesel polishing after flood damage.
Diesel Tank Cleaning Havant
Diesel tanks need proper cleaning to clear out bacteria and water. We use methods that let your business keep running. Our team takes out sediment and polishes diesel for better fuel use. This stops filters clogging and engines getting damaged.
Petrol Tank Cleaning Havant
Our team cleans petrol tanks with high safety standards because of fire risks. We follow a complete safety plan for each job.

Oil Tank Cleaning Havant
We remove sludge from oil tanks without environmental harm. Our vacuum equipment helps us clear deposits from walls and bottoms. This thorough cleaning prevents blockages in your oil system. Our staff follows strict steps to protect nearby areas.
Chemical Tank Cleaning Havant
Chemical tank cleaning requires special knowledge that's different for each substance. Unlike other cleaners, we have more than 1,200 chemical cleaning plans from 30 years in industry.
Storage Tank Cleaning Havant
Our approach to storage tank cleaning varies significantly based on both contents and construction:
When cleaning polymer-lined water tanks, we use gentle methods with safe pressure (max 2,000 PSI) and rotary cleaners that maintain the right distance to avoid damaging liners while reaching safe drinking water standards.
For steel vessels, we use magnetic crawlers with cleaning heads that cover every inside surface while operators stay outside, avoiding dangerous confined spaces.
When cleaning fibreglass tanks, we use special pH-neutral solutions that won't damage resin bonds while removing biological contaminants.
Each methodology is backed by material compatibility testing and documented cleaning validation procedures specific to the tank's construction materials and previous contents.
Interceptor Tank Cleaning Havant
To help the environment, interceptor tanks need routine cleaning. We clear out oils, fuels, and all built-up sediments. With our High Pressure Jetting tools, we can access the narrowest spots in these complicated systems. Regular maintenance prevents overflows and potential fines.
Food-grade Tank Cleaning Havant
Food-grade tank cleaning requires total safety and hygiene. We use non-toxic, safe cleaning agents for food-contact surfaces. During the clean, we remove every bacteria and contaminant, ensuring your facility stays compliant and product quality.
Agricultural Tank Cleaning Havant
Farm operations need clean, functioning tanks for various purposes. We clean water storage, fertiliser and pesticide tanks. Our mobile units cover remote farm locations across Havant.
Pressure Vessel Cleaning Havant
Pressure vessels require precise cleaning techniques that maintain structural integrity. Our specialists understand the critical nature of these vessels and their safety requirements. We remove scale, deposits, and residues without damaging sensitive components. This careful service extends operational life while supporting safe performance.

We provide industrial tank cleaning in Havant and Solent East with rapid access to Dunsbury Park, New Lane, and Waterlooville’s A3(M) corridor, plus scheduled works on Hayling Island timed around Langstone Bridge traffic.
Typical jobs include food-grade CIP descaling, polymer residue removal, bund cleaning, and interceptor maintenance. Confined-space entry, gas monitoring, and waste transfer notes are handled in-house to minimise downtime and keep sites compliant.
FAQ
Do you cover Hayling Island and how do you handle access and waste haulage over the Langstone Bridge?
Yes. We plan works around agreed traffic windows and load limits, using right-sized tankers or modular vac units when access is tight. We can de-sludge/dewater on site to cut haulage volume, then remove wastes via EA-licensed carriers with full duty-of-care paperwork.
Can you work out of hours during shutdowns at Dunsbury Park or New Lane?
Absolutely. We regularly deliver night or weekend shutdowns to avoid production loss, with RAMS, confined-space permits, and inductions pre-approved so crews arrive ready to start.
What sectors do you most often support around Waterlooville and Solent East?
Food & beverage plants (CIP tanks and silos), polymers and light manufacturing (process and wash-down tanks), logistics yards (interceptors and bunds), and marine suppliers—each with tailored waste handling and compliance documentation.
