Oil Tanks

We are oil tank installation specialists, ready to provide your fully compliant oil storage solution.

BRC’s team of experienced OFTEC registered technicians are able to carry out oil tank inspections and installations fully compliant with current Building Regulations, to make ensure your oil storage tank is as safe as can be, without compromise.

We are oil tank specialists and have fitted many hundreds over the years all over Devon and Cornwall. These days we prefer to work closer to home, but we still supply and fit at least one new oil tank most weeks.

We have a range of specialist equipment and skills enabling us to undertake a complete supply & installation project from groundworks up to completion. We specialise in difficult access/tricky jobs and love a challenge! We always aim to create the minimum of disturbance and leave a satisfied customer with a high quality installation that will last the next 10-20 years.

Please get in touch to discuss anything to do with oil tanks, including:

  • Assessing cracked oil tanks
  • Advice re compliant installations in tricky locations
  • Replacing old oil tanks
  • Upgrading to a larger oil tank
  • Pump-outs on contaminated oil tanks (water or debris in your tank can damage your oil appliance)
  • Oil storage tanks have a lifespan of 10 to 20 years – the risk of a tank failing increases with age. A leaking oil tank can involve a very costly clean-up operation, so watch out for the below warning signs: cracked oil tank
  • Rust (on steel tanks)
  • Splits or cracks
  • Bulging
  • Gauges falling over or not working
  • Subsidence on the base
  • Sudden increase in fuel consumption
  • Tanks overgrown with foliage
  • Strong fuel smell

If you have any concerns about your oil tank, please get in touch. We will inspect your tank and carry out a full risk assessment (free of charge and no obligation).

If your tank requires replacement, we will send you a full written quotation, explaining in detail the work required and the costs involved. If you accept our quote, we will complete the installation with minimal disruption, and take care of all the relevant paperwork including your tank warranty and Building Control notification.
