A bunded oil tank is a tank within a tank or also referred to as double skin oil tank. Oil is contained within the inner tank, with the outer layer acting as an additional layer of protection against leaks and the weather.

Oil tank removal costs vary depending on your location, size of tank and whether there is heating oil that needs to removed. The average cost of a domestic oil tank removal is £130 – £200.

Unless the tank holds over 2500 litres, it doesn’t have to be bunded. A single skin tank would allowed where there is no risk of oil reaching a water source. Bunded oil tanks give an additional level of protection against oil leaks and damage to the environment.

We remove heating oil using an uplift pump. Most decommissioned oil tanks have oil left at the bottom of the tank that needs to be removed before oil tank removal.
