Oil Tank Replacement in Salisbury, Wiltshire

Many rural homes around Salisbury and the surrounding Wiltshire countryside rely on oil-fired heating systems because they are not connected to the mains gas network. Over time, oil tanks can deteriorate, and replacing them with a modern bunded oil tank helps ensure the heating system remains safe and compliant.

The team at Total Energy Services recently completed an oil tank replacement at a property near Salisbury, Wiltshire, installing a new Deso bunded oil tank to replace an ageing and deteriorating tank.

Why the Oil Tank Needed Replacing

The existing oil tank at this Salisbury property had been in place for many years and was showing clear signs of age. Older tanks can develop weaknesses or cracks, which increases the risk of leaks.

Some of the most common reasons we carry out oil tank replacements in Salisbury include:

• Old single-skin tanks reaching the end of their lifespan

• Cracks or damage to plastic tanks

• Rusting metal oil tanks

• Tanks installed too close to buildings or boundaries

• Upgrading to a bunded tank to meet modern regulations

Replacing an old tank before it fails helps homeowners avoid costly clean-up work and ensures the heating system continues to run reliably.

Installing a New Deso Bunded Oil Tank

For this project, our engineers installed a Deso bunded oil tank, which provides improved protection and durability.

The installation included:

• Safely disconnecting and removing the old oil tank

• Preparing a suitable base for the new tank

• Installing the new Deso bunded tank

• Reconnecting the oil supply to the existing boiler

• Carrying out final safety checks and commissioning

Deso tanks are well known for their high-quality construction and long service life, making them a popular choice for homeowners across Wiltshire and Dorset.

Why Bunded Oil Tanks Are Recommended

Modern oil tank installations almost always use bunded tanks, which have a double-layer design.

Benefits include:

Extra environmental protection
The outer layer helps contain oil if the inner tank fails.

Improved safety
Reduces the risk of contamination and leaks.

Insurance compliance
Many insurers now recommend or require bunded oil tanks.

Long-term reliability
Modern tanks are designed to last many years with proper installation.
