Oil Tank Cleaning
Ireland
Professional oil tank cleaning and sludge removal for homes, farms and businesses across Ireland. Extend your tank's lifespan, protect your boiler and keep your heating system running efficiently.
About This Service
Clean Tank,
Efficient Heating System
Over time, all oil tanks accumulate sludge, water and microbial growth at the bottom. This contamination damages boilers, blocks filters and reduces heating efficiency — but it doesn't mean you need a new tank.
Britteco's professional tank cleaning service removes sludge, water, sediment and diesel bug from the interior of your tank, restoring it to clean, efficient operation. We work on plastic bunded tanks, steel tanks and older single-skin tanks.
The service includes draining residual fuel, physical cleaning of the tank interior, removal and responsible disposal of all waste, and a final inspection. Usable fuel is separated and returned to the tank where possible.

Oil Tank Cleaning — Common Questions
As a general guide, domestic oil tanks should be cleaned every 3 to 5 years. However, if you're experiencing recurring boiler problems, blocked filters or notice dark or foul-smelling fuel, your tank may need cleaning sooner. If your tank has never been cleaned, we'd recommend having it done regardless of age.
The cost of oil tank cleaning depends on the tank size, the level of contamination and your location. We provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins. Call us on 01 539 2798 for a quick estimate.
Our engineers first pump out all remaining fuel from the tank. We then physically clean the tank interior, removing sludge, sediment, water and microbial growth. All waste is collected and removed from site for responsible disposal at a licensed facility. Usable fuel is separated and returned to the clean tank.
Yes, your heating will be offline for the duration of the clean — typically a few hours for a standard domestic tank. We reconnect the system and test it before leaving, so you'll have heating back the same day in most cases. We recommend scheduling the clean during warmer months if possible.
Yes. We clean tanks that are still in active use — this is the most common scenario. We pump out the remaining fuel, clean the tank, and return the usable fuel when the job is done. There is no need to wait until your tank is empty before booking a clean.
We clean all common domestic and commercial oil tank types used in Ireland — including plastic bunded tanks, single-skin plastic tanks, and steel tanks. We work on tanks of all sizes, from small domestic tanks to large agricultural or commercial storage tanks.
In many cases, yes. If your boiler is cutting out frequently, the filters are blocking often, or the boiler is burning poorly, a dirty oil tank is often the root cause. Cleaning the tank removes the source of contamination and in many cases resolves the boiler problems without needing any boiler repairs.
