Oil Tank Replacement in Wareham, Dorset

Many homes in Wareham and the surrounding Purbeck countryside rely on oil-fired heating systems because they are not connected to the mains gas network. A safe and properly installed oil tank is essential to ensure reliable heating and hot water throughout the year.

The team at Total Energy Services recently completed an oil tank replacement at a property near Wareham, Dorset, installing a new Deso bunded oil tank to replace an ageing tank that had reached the end of its service life.

Why the Oil Tank Needed Replacing

The homeowner contacted us after noticing signs that their existing oil tank was deteriorating. Over time, oil tanks can weaken, become brittle or develop cracks, which increases the risk of leaks.

Common reasons we carry out oil tank replacements in Wareham include:

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

• Cracks or damage to plastic oil tanks

• Rusting steel tanks

• Tanks installed too close to buildings or property boundaries

• Upgrading to a modern bunded oil tank

Replacing an oil tank before it fails helps avoid environmental damage and ensures the heating system continues to run 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 installation 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, reliability and long service life, making them ideal for homes across Dorset.

Benefits of a Bunded Oil Tank

Modern oil tank installations usually use bunded tanks, which provide extra protection.

Benefits include:

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

Improved safety
Reduces the risk of oil leaks.

Insurance compliance
Many insurers now recommend or require bunded tanks.

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