When Do You Need This?

Signs Your Oil Tank Needs Replacing

Most oil tanks last between 15 and 25 years. Over time, plastic tanks can become brittle and steel tanks can corrode — leading to leaks, contamination and costly damage. Look out for these warning signs.

Tank is 15+ years old Older tanks are more prone to failure. Replacing before a leak occurs saves significant cost.

Visible cracks, corrosion or discolouration Any physical damage to the tank body, fittings or bund should be assessed immediately.

Oil smell around the tank area A persistent smell of oil is a strong indicator of a slow leak from the tank or pipework.

Unexplained drop in oil levels If your oil is running out faster than expected, a leak or faulty gauge could be the cause.

Single-skin tank near a watercourse Irish regulations require bunded tanks within 10m of a watercourse or 50m of a well.

The cost of oil tank replacement in Ireland depends on the tank size, type (single-skin or bunded), site access and whether fuel disposal is required. We provide a free, no-obligation quote before any work begins. Call us on 01 539 2798 for a quick estimate.

Most domestic oil tank replacements are completed within a single day. This includes removal of the old tank, installation of the new one, pipework connections and final safety testing. Larger commercial or agricultural installations may take longer — we'll give you a clear timeframe when quoting.

In Ireland, a bunded tank is required if your tank is within 10 metres of a watercourse, 50 metres of a well or borehole, or in a flood risk area. Even where not legally required, a bunded tank is strongly recommended as it provides a secondary containment layer, protecting against leaks and environmental damage. Our engineers will advise you on the right tank type for your site.

Yes — old tank removal and disposal is included as standard with all our tank installation jobs. We safely drain any remaining fuel, remove the old tank and dispose of it responsibly in line with Irish environmental regulations. There are no hidden charges for this service.

For a typical Irish home, a 1,000-litre tank is usually sufficient. Larger properties, farms or commercial sites may require 1,500, 2,500 litres or more. During our site visit, we'll assess your heating system, fuel usage and available space to recommend the most suitable tank size and type.

Yes. All our tank installations are carried out by OFTEC-registered engineers and you will receive a full OFTEC installation certificate on completion. This is important for insurance purposes and may be required if you sell your property in the future.

A quality plastic oil tank typically lasts between 15 and 25 years, depending on exposure to UV light, temperature fluctuations and general maintenance. Steel tanks can last longer but are more prone to internal corrosion. If your tank is over 15 years old, it's worth having it inspected — we offer free advice on whether replacement is needed.

We provide oil tank installation services across all 32 counties in Ireland — including Dublin, Cork, Galway, Limerick, Waterford, Meath, Kildare, Wicklow, Kerry, Donegal and all surrounding areas. Not sure? Give us a call and we'll confirm.
