At Total Energy Services, we’ve been looking after the heating and plumbing needs of rural homes for over 30 years. As a trusted, family-run business based in Dorset, our experienced engineers work across Salisbury, Wiltshire, and the surrounding counties helping homeowners keep their heating systems safe, efficient, and up to date.

We recently carried out the replacement of an old, single-bunded oil tank for a customer in Salisbury. Single-bunded tanks were once commonplace, but they are no longer recommended as they don’t provide the same level of protection against leaks or spills. For peace of mind and environmental safety, a modern double-skinned oil tank is now the preferred choice.
Upgrading to a double-skinned tank offers several important benefits:
Extra Protection – The second layer reduces the risk of leaks, keeping your property and the environment safe.
OFTEC Compliant – Double-skinned tanks meet today’s safety standards and regulations.
Durability – Made from robust materials designed to last, giving you long-term reliability.
Peace of Mind – Fewer worries about oil leaks or costly clean-ups.
We only install tanks from manufacturers we trust, including Deso and Kingspan. Both brands are well-known for producing high-quality, long-lasting oil tanks in a range of shapes and sizes – perfect for rural homes across Dorset, Wiltshire, and Somerset.
