Many homes in villages around Bruton are not connected to the mains gas network, meaning oil tanks play a crucial role in heating and hot water. Over time, tanks can deteriorate, crack, or become non-compliant with modern regulations, making replacement the safest option.
Our experienced engineers regularly carry out oil tank replacements across Somerset, helping homeowners upgrade to safe, compliant, and long-lasting fuel storage systems.
Why This Bruton Property Needed a New Oil Tank
The existing oil tank at the property was reaching the end of its serviceable life. The tank showed signs of ageing and no longer met modern environmental protection standards.
Older oil tanks can present several risks, including:
-
Oil leaks that contaminate soil and groundwater
-
Structural cracking due to UV damage or age
-
Lack of secondary containment
-
Non-compliance with current OFTEC regulations
To ensure the property remained safe and environmentally compliant, the homeowner chose to install a modern bunded oil tank replacement.
New Bunded Oil Tank Installation in Bruton
Our engineers removed the existing tank and installed a new Deso bunded oil tank, which provides significantly improved protection and durability.
Bunded oil tanks include a tank within a tank design, meaning if the inner tank fails, the outer bund safely contains the oil. This design greatly reduces the risk of environmental damage.
During the installation, our team carried out:
-
Safe removal of the old oil tank
-
Preparation of the tank base and location
-
Installation of the new bunded Deso tank
-
Connection to the existing oil supply line
-
Full safety and compliance checks
Once installed, the new tank provides reliable and secure fuel storage for many years to come.
