Oil tank removal and replacement
An old, damaged or no-longer-needed oil tank can create practical and environmental concerns. Removal needs to account for the remaining oil, the tank location, access for lifting or cutting, connected pipework and the condition of the ground beneath it.
If you are replacing an existing tank, we can coordinate the removal and prepare the area for the new installation. The final tank, fuel-system connections and any specialist compliance requirements should be confirmed with the appropriate heating or oil-tank professional for your property.
New oil tank installation groundworks
A new tank needs a stable, level and suitably sized base, with safe access for delivery, inspection and future maintenance. Depending on the site, this may involve excavation, a concrete base, hardstanding, drainage considerations and making good around the installation.
We review the proposed location, access route, nearby buildings, boundaries, services and pipework route before work starts. A site visit helps identify whether the existing base can be used or needs replacing.
Planning the work safely
Oil tank projects need careful handling and a clear scope. We discuss whether the tank is empty or still contains fuel, how it will be accessed, what happens to removed materials and which parts of the work need to be carried out by a specialist fuel-system contractor.
We do not assume that every tank, base or location is suitable. The tank type, remaining contents, ground conditions, access and proximity to buildings or water all affect the correct approach. Where another specialist is needed, we make that clear before the work is agreed.
What affects the cost?
The price depends on the tank size and condition, how much fuel remains, access for removal, cutting or lifting requirements, disposal arrangements, the new base and the extent of excavation or reinstatement.
Send photographs of the tank, its base, the access route and any visible pipework with your postcode. That gives us a useful starting point for a site-specific quote.

Can you install a new oil tank base?
Yes. We can prepare a stable, level base and carry out associated excavation, hardstanding and reinstatement. The tank specification and any specialist fuel-system connections should be confirmed for the property.

We can prepare the groundworks and base for a replacement or new oil tank. The tank type, including whether a bunded tank is required, should be confirmed with the appropriate oil-heating specialist for the property.
Do you remove the oil from the tank?
The approach depends on the quantity and condition of the remaining oil. We confirm who is responsible for fuel removal and disposal before work begins, and specialist handling may be required.
