Oil Tank Replacement in Corfe Castle, Dorset

Many homes in Corfe Castle and the surrounding Purbeck countryside rely on oil-fired heating systems because they are not connected to the mains gas network. Ensuring the oil tank is safe and properly installed is essential for reliable heating and hot water.

The team at Total Energy Services recently carried out an oil tank replacement at a property near Corfe Castle, Dorset, installing a new Deso bunded oil tank to replace an older tank that had reached the end of its lifespan.

Why the Oil Tank Needed Replacing

The homeowner contacted us after noticing that their existing oil tank was showing signs of age and deterioration. Older tanks can weaken over time, which increases the risk of leaks or environmental damage.

Common reasons we carry out oil tank replacements in Corfe Castle include:

• Old single-skin oil tanks reaching the end of their life

• Cracks or damage to plastic tanks

• Rusting steel oil tanks

• Tanks installed too close to boundaries or buildings

• Upgrading to a modern bunded oil tank

Replacing an ageing tank before it fails helps protect the property and ensures the heating system continues to operate safely.

Installing a New Deso Bunded Oil Tank

For this installation, our engineers fitted a high-quality Deso bunded oil tank, which provides a double-layer design for improved safety and environmental protection.

The work included:

• Safely disconnecting and removing the old oil tank

• Preparing a suitable base for the new tank

• Installing the Deso bunded oil tank

• Reconnecting the oil supply to the existing boiler

• Carrying out safety checks and commissioning

Deso oil tanks are widely used due to their durability, safety features and long service life, making them ideal for rural properties across Dorset.

Benefits of Bunded Oil Tanks

Modern oil tank installations usually use bunded tanks, which offer several important advantages:

Environmental protection
The outer bund contains oil if the inner tank fails.

Improved safety
Reduces the risk of leaks and contamination.

Insurance compliance
Many insurers now recommend or require bunded tanks.

Long-term reliability
High-quality tanks provide many years of dependable use.
