Oil Tank Removal and Recycling
Do you have an old oil tank that needs removing? You're not alone. These tanks deteriorate over time and can leak, causing property owners real headaches.
Removing them properly isn't a DIY job. First, the tank needs decommissioning; extracting any leftover oil and cleaning the tank it thoroughly.
Tank decommissioning is a complex process that involves making the tank inoperative safely and legally. Then, we dismantle and complete the oil tank removal safely and in full compliance with UK regulations and law.
When to Remove Your Oil Tank
Deciding when to remove your tank is key to your home or business. Our industrial services experience means we can guide you in making this important decision.
Consider these factors:
- Age and Condition: Tank over 15 years + visible rust = remove now. Tank 10-15 years + annual inspection pass = 2 year monitoring program recommended.
- Regulatory Compliance: Regulations change constantly. We ensure your existing tank meets current standards so your business isn't fined and disrupted. When new tanks are needed, we handle the removal of the old system.
- Operational Efficiency: Older tanks can be costly for households and businesses. Upgrading to modern systems often means long term savings.
- Environmental Risks: Small leaks can cause serious environmental damage and expensive cleanup. We help you mitigate these risks proactively.
- Changing Business Needs: When storage needs change due to business growth or operational changes, it may be time to reassess your tank setup.

Do I need a licensed company?
Yes - Environment Agency regulations require licensed specialists like us. Licensed companies ensure safe, legal removal and proper disposal of waste oil and contaminated materials.
Using an unlicensed company risks environmental damage and legal issues. Licensed companies also supply certificates to prove we comply with UK regulations so you can relax.
What happens to the oil and the tank?
Everything gets recycled at licensed facilities. The oil is separated from the contaminants for safe reuse or disposal under strict regulations. The old oil tank, metal or plastic, is removed whole or cut on-site and taken to recycling centres where it's broken down and repurposed, minimising environmental impact and supporting sustainability.
How long does the oil tank disposal process usually take?
The removal process typically takes one full day to complete, although this can vary depending on several factors. These include the size and type of the tank, whether it is above ground or underground, the accessibility of the site, and any complexities such as contaminated soil or difficult positioning.
Our experienced team plans each job carefully to minimise disruption and complete the removal efficiently and safely within the expected timeframe.
What certification do I receive after tank removal?
You receive complete documentation certifying compliance with UK environmental regulations and safe disposal practices.
