Many homes in the rural areas surrounding Wimborne and East Dorset 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 the heating system continues to operate reliably.

The team at Total Energy Services recently completed an oil tank replacement at a property near Wimborne, Dorset, installing a modern Deso bunded oil tank to replace an ageing tank that had reached the end of its lifespan.
The existing oil tank at this Wimborne property had been installed many years ago and was beginning to show signs of deterioration. Older tanks can become brittle or develop cracks over time, increasing the risk of oil leaks.
Some of the most common reasons we carry out oil tank replacements in Wimborne include:
Old single-skin oil tanks reaching the end of their life
Cracks or damage in plastic tanks
Rusting steel tanks
Tanks installed too close to buildings or boundaries
Upgrading to a bunded oil tank for improved environmental protection
Replacing an oil tank before it fails helps avoid environmental damage and ensures the heating system remains safe.
For this installation, our engineers fitted a high-quality Deso bunded oil tank, which provides a double-layer design for extra protection.
The work included:
Safely disconnecting and removing the old oil tank
Preparing a stable base for the new installation
Installing the Deso bunded oil tank
Connecting the oil supply back to the boiler
Carrying out safety checks and commissioning
Deso oil tanks are a popular choice due to their durability, safety features and long lifespan, making them ideal for rural homes across Dorset.
