Steel oil tank removal
Remaining kerosene was pumped out and a redundant above-ground steel heating oil tank was removed after a switch to a heat pump. The tank capacity was approximately 2,500 litres.
Your site. The right scope.
Prepare commercial tank work across Leicestershire
Before work is planned, establish who controls the tank area, what preparation the site can provide and how the work location will be reached. These questions matter whether a tank is being cleaned, inspected or taken out of service. They also help distinguish the requested service from related activities that may need separate agreement.
Britteco provides commercial and industrial tank services for customers planning work in Leicestershire. Options include tank cleaning, fuel polishing, inspection, transfer, removal, decommissioning and installation. Explain the desired outcome and any known site requirements. Find out more about tank cleaning and decommissioning.
This coverage guide includes Leicester and the surrounding ceremonial county, with enquiries welcome from Loughborough, Hinckley and Market Harborough as well. Leicester has its own city council area. Share the exact working postcode, who controls access and the tank details so the practical arrangements can be discussed for the premises involved.

Planning work in Leicestershire
Make the next step clear.
Agree site preparation responsibilities
Describe what preparation the site team expects to complete and who is responsible for each part. Identify the person who can confirm access, site rules, the tank’s role and any interfaces with connected equipment. If the work area is shared or controlled by another organisation, include the relevant contact or process without disclosing unnecessary private details.
Photographs and records can help explain the tank location and the approach route. Note known obstructions, restricted spaces, overhead limits or other work in the area. Agree preparation requirements against the service and site conditions with the site contact.
Clarify contents, waste and service boundaries
If the job may involve contents, deposits or removed material, explain what is known and what outcome is requested. Ask which handling or waste arrangements are included in the proposed scope and which responsibilities sit with the site. Do not assume that a cleaning request automatically covers fuel transfer, disposal, testing or documentation.
Cleaning removes deposits from the tank; fuel polishing is a separate service for stored fuel. Decommissioning and physical removal are also distinct requirements that may be related. Britteco can discuss tank removal alongside cleaning or other work, with scope boundaries made clear before arrangements are agreed.
Coordinate access before confirming the work
Consider how staff, vehicles and other contractors will use the route and work area. Note any access windows or site procedures that the responsible contact can confirm. If the work is part of a larger maintenance or building programme, explain the related activity and the point at which the tank area will be available.
For inspection, share the concern and any available maintenance history. For removal, include material and dimensions if known, contents information and the route out of the premises. For new installation, describe the intended use and proposed position. The agreed service, sequence and responsibilities depend on the facts and should be documented for the individual job.
