We guarantee a safe oil tank removal
No matter the tank, we are able to safely remove it as our OFTEC engineers are trained in a multitude of tank removal methods.

We make sure that all work carried out during the tank removal process is conducted in a safe and manageable manner.
Oil tank removal
With every job we do, we require a photograph of your current tank, the location and site access in order to provide you with a bespoke quote for your tank removal. We also need to know the capacity or size of the existing tank as well as how much oil or residue remains in the tank. This information enables us to plan your unique project and complete your tank removal in the safest and most efficient way. In a commercial environment a site visit may be required in order to provide the most accurate quotation.
What to expect
Once the tank removal service has been booked in, here is what to expect leading up to and on the day of the tank removal:
- We will notify you up to 48 hours before our OFTEC engineers are due to let you know what time to expect us.
- On the day of the removal our team will arrive in our Hi-Ab lorry with all the tools and equipment required to complete the job.
- Once on site we will assess the current situation and proceed to pump out any oil or hoover out residue (if required) from the tank into a holding tank.
- We will then disconnect and remove any current pipework feeding the tank (if required) before lifting out or cutting out your redundant tank.
- Before leaving we will always make sure the site is left clean and tidy.
- Once back at our workshop the removed tank will be decommissioned, recycled and all oil or residue disposed of accordingly.
