# Oil Tank Upgrades Sheffield

New Tank Supply & Installation, Old Tank Removed — OFTEC Registered Engineer Serving Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Buxton & the Peak District

If your existing oil tank is ageing, damaged, or no longer meeting current regulations, upgrading to a new tank protects your property, your heating system, and the environment. Omni Gas provides a complete oil tank upgrade service across Sheffield, Rotherham, Chesterfield, Buxton, and the Peak District — supplying and installing your new tank while safely draining, removing, and disposing of your old one.

Paul is OFTEC registered and holds a Waste Carriers Licence, meaning the whole job is managed compliantly from start to finish. We supply all makes and types of tank — including leading brands such as Harlequin, Kingspan, Titan, and Carbery — so you can be confident of getting the right solution for your property, with no need to arrange separate contractors.

## What Is a Bunded Oil Tank?

A bunded tank is essentially a tank within a tank. The inner vessel holds the oil, while the outer bund acts as a secondary containment layer — capable of holding at least 110% of the inner tank's capacity. This means that in the event of a leak or failure, fuel is contained and cannot escape to contaminate soil or groundwater.

Modern bunded tanks are the recommended standard for domestic oil storage, and in many situations are required under current Building Regulations and OFTEC guidelines — particularly for tanks sited near watercourses, drains, or certain property types.

## Signs Your Tank May Need Upgrading

-   Tank is over 10–15 years old 
-   Visible corrosion, cracks, or damage to the tank body 
-   Single-skin construction with no secondary containment 
-   Tank does not comply with current siting regulations 
-   Persistent leaks, fuel loss, or recurring delivery problems 
-   Your insurer has flagged the tank 
-   A property sale requiring a tank inspection report 

## What's Included in an Oil Tank Upgrade?

Omni Gas manages the complete process — no need to coordinate multiple contractors:

-   Site survey and assessment of your existing installation 
-   Advice on the right tank size, type, and brand for your property 
-   Supply of a new tank — all makes and types available, including Harlequin, Kingspan, Titan, Carbery, and more 
-   Safe draining of the old tank and removal of any contaminated oil 
-   Removal and off-site disposal of the old tank

-   Compliance documentation on completion
