Oil tanks are a vital part of many homes across Warminster and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside, where properties are often not connected to the mains gas network and rely on oil-fired heating systems for warmth and hot water

At Total Energy Services, we recently completed a new Deso bunded oil tank installation at a rural property in Warminster, Wiltshire, replacing an old single-skin tank that had reached the end of its life.
The homeowner contacted our team after noticing signs of deterioration on their existing tank. Like many older installations, it had been in place for many years and was beginning to show signs of wear.
Common reasons we replace oil tanks include:
Cracks or weakening in older plastic tanks
Rusting steel tanks
Tanks installed too close to boundaries or buildings
Tanks that no longer meet current environmental regulations
Insurance companies requiring a bunded oil tank upgrade
Older single-skin tanks can present a risk of oil leaks, which is why modern installations now use bunded oil tanks for improved environmental protection.
For this Warminster installation, we fitted a high-quality Deso bunded oil tank, which provides a double-layer design to protect against oil spills.
The installation included:
Safe removal of the existing oil tank
Preparing a suitable base for the new tank
Installing the Deso bunded oil tank
Connecting the oil supply to the existing boiler
Safety checks and commissioning
Bunded tanks have an outer protective layer designed to contain oil if the inner tank ever fails. This makes them a much safer and more environmentally responsible option for rural homes.
Modern bunded tanks offer several important benefits:
Environmental protection
The double-skinned design prevents oil from leaking into the ground.
Insurance compliance
Many insurers now recommend or require bunded tanks.
Long service life
High-quality tanks like those from Deso are designed to last for many years.
Peace of mind
Homeowners can be confident their heating fuel is stored safely.
