DP Fuel Tank Services - removing heating oil tanks, basement, tank removal, tank disposal, UK

DP Fuel Tank Services can remove any size of heating oil tank from commercial or industrial premises, with the minimum of fuss or disruption.

Many organisations are now moving their heating systems away from oil to more economical and environmentally friendly fuel sources. Once a tank becomes redundant in this way, removing it, by cleaning and recycling it, eliminates a safety hazard and allows the re-use of the space it occupied.

Other people are moving away from oil fired central heating because of the increasing legal burdens.

It is not just a matter of undoing a few rusty bolts and lifting it onto the back of a lorry. We have to clean it thoroughly first, so that it can be transported safely and recycled.

The tanks have often been built in almost inaccessible basement rooms. Sometimes they are completely bricked up to provide a bund in case of leaks, with just a small inspection hatch being left.

This means we have to cut up the tanks on the spot and manhandle the pieces out through a maze of corridors, stairs and doors, without damaging anything on the way out. This we have achieved at many high profile jobs, including Buckingham Palace and a number of prestigious London hotels.
