Services

Single skin oil tanks up to 2500 litres can still  be installed at domestic premises. However, if there are any open or loose fitting drains within 10 metres of the oil tank, any waterways; such as rivers, streams or ditches within 10 metres of the oil tank, if there is a well within 50 metres of the oil tank or if the oil tanker driver cannot see the vent pipe during filling, a Bunded oil tank MUST be installed and this is a legal requirement. All non domestic oil tanks must also, by law, be Bunded oil tanks. DESO is a world class rotational moulding company who specialise in the design and production of liquid storage and dispensing tanks. All DESO tanks comply with the latest European standards and provide cost effective solutions to domestic, commercial and agricultural storage and dispensing requirements.

Whilst the advent of plastic oil tanks has largely overcome the traditional drawbacks of steel oil tanks, we acknowledge that for many, a plastic oil tank may not be the most suitable or preferred choice when considering a replacement oil tank and we are currently experiencing a trend back towards steel oil tanks. It is also widely accepted that a good quality, well maintained steel oil tank will generally outlive a maintenance free plastic oil tank. The lifespan of a steel oil tank can be prolonged further by regular repainting and draining of condensation from within the tank; a service which we are able to carry out for you. With this in mind any shape, size and capacity of steel oil tank; both single skin and Bunded can be manufactured to suit your requirements. The invention of our unique Rainwater Lip around the bottom of the tank ensures rainwater drips clear of the oil tank base rather than getting trapped between the tank and its supports which is what usually starts the rusting process. This can be added to any steel tank during manufacture; ask for details. Steel oil tanks also offer far more in the way of security and can be fitted with a locking filler cap and high security vent cap making unauthorised top access almost impossible.  This can also be retro fitted to most existing steel oil tanks. Standard single tanks come complete with ½" feed, ¾" drain; 2" fill and vent points. Contact us for full details 01903 732732 sales@dandsoiltanks.co.uk

Information

STEEL or PLASTIC? - That is the Question ? …..

D&S Oil Tanks by and large prefer to let our Clients make the choice as to what type or style of tank they prefer. There are site situations where either steel or plastic will have an advantage over the alternative - but we are always happy to frankly discus these differences with you based on our experience of the industry since the early 1990's when plastic tanks first became an alternative to steel.

We are constantly amazed however that many members of the public seem to be under the assumption that they no longer have the option of having a steel tank - this is not the case. Some of you of course simply do not want another steel tank, wanting to avoid the 'maintenance' that is required, and for the elderly that is certainly a valid point to be taken into consideration, whilst some think that a plastic tank is a 'must have'. It has to be said of course that a plastic tank will not rust and will not require repainting - but is that the end of the story? Today, if you own an oil tank you primarily have an obligation to ensure that it remains sound - oil spillages are costly. It is recognized, particularly by plastic tank manufacturers' that it is unfair to put that onus on the tank manufacturer, supplier or oil company alone, which is why it is essential to ensure that your tank is installed correctly and safely, that you received the correct advice on the choice of tank (Bunded or un-bunded) and that it is correctly serviced or maintained. Maintenance or Servicing therefore is not solely a requisite for steel tanks. Most plastic tank warranties, apart from being dependant on the tank having been installed to comply with current recommendations (Building Regulations etc.) include the condition that they are to be annually/periodically inspected in accordance with National Regulations and that this inspection is recorded. It is usually a requirement that the inspection is undertaken by an OFTEC qualified engineer.  Failure to do so could result in any warranty being null and void. So it is incorrect to assume that a plastic tank does not need to be as closely monitored as a steel tank. Currently domestic oil storage tanks containing less than 2500 litres in capacity do not automatically have to be bunded unless certain 'Significant Risks' are present. Single skinned tanks are still permissible in many instances. Well publicized plastic tank failures have regrettably led some to become somewhat sceptical of the 'advantages' of plastic tanks and for this reason we will generally advise customers to opt for a bunded plastic tank rather than a single skinned one. Why? - Because failures we have attended have generally been a sudden occurrence resulting in costly loss of oil and/or clean up costs - and whereas single skinned plastic tanks used to carry a 10 or even 20-year guarantee the Manufacturers now only offer 12 or 24 month warranties!! We consider therefore that a plastic bunded tank should at least contain any spillage, leakage or overfill even if or when the inner tank fails. Of course a single skinned steel tank will over a period of time develop rusty areas. If left unattended deterioration will certainly be accelerated and eventually the tank will fail. The major difference that we have encountered is that a steel tank will at some stage eventually generate a slow seepage or drip in vulnerable areas accompanied by a general oily smell and the owner is thereby given the time and opportunity to do something about it, whereas plastic tank failures (typically splits) [see pictures below] that we have documented tend to occur suddenly, and even with small fractures can then rapidly worsen so that in many cases the damage is done before the owner has had time to react.

Whilst we continue to be suppliers and installers of plastic tanks and we recognize some of their merits we will also encourage clients not to think of plastic tanks as something that will 'last forever', which used to be the general thought - for as with steel tanks that is certainly not the case. Any oil tank should not be regarded as being 'out of sight and out of mind', although sadly human nature dictates that most are. We hope that with today's greater awareness of the environment most people will look deeper into the issues of the choice of tank and who installs it, and not simply opt for the easiest or cheapest option, bearing in mind that Tank Manufacturers and Supplier/Installers will have Terms and Conditions of Sale referring to and dependant on in the event of any problem; how any tank was installed, who installed it (OFTEC Registered Engineer) and how it has been maintained. Bear in mind that as the choice of tank rests with the customer - so do the risks and responsibilities in the future.

A selection of testimonials from our extensive list of satisfied clients:

Mrs. A from Singleton: Very many thanks indeed for the amazingly prompt and efficient works you have carried out. Mrs. T from Bordon: Thank you so much for your prompt and excellent service, your workmen are a credit to you. They did an excellent job and cleared up so well after, you wouldn’t know they had been. Mrs. H from Horsham: Wanted to let you know that I was very impressed with the speedy service, neat job and helpful manner of everyone at D&S Tanks. Mrs. E from Bury: Thank you for all your help and could you please pass on our thanks to your workmen for the way in which they carried out the installation. Mr. A from Petworth: These days it is quite rare to receive such good and friendly service and I shall certainly recommend you to any one else with tank problems. Mrs. A from Thursley: I would like to thank you and your team for a painless and efficient job well done. It is always a pleasure when a job is carried out by helpful, efficient and pleasant people. Mr. C from Barnham: I must say that in all my dealings with your company I have been very impressed with the response, advice and customer service that I have received from your company and your workforce. I would have no trouble in recommending your company to anyone. Mr. H from Horsham: Thanks to you all for all the help you provided. I am sure that you supply many different customers, but for me, your service was such that puts the best back in Britain. Mr. R from Amberley: Thank you for a most efficient installation last Friday. No mess, no fuss, tidy job, very pleased with the result. You were recommended to me by someone else in the village; I have in turn circulated a recommendation. In the nicest possible way, I hope not to see you again for many years! Mr. Long from Guildford: When I got home this evening I was half expecting that the job wouldn’t have been finished due to the bad weather, but it was. I’d like to thank you for fitting the work in so quickly. Also, I would like you to pass on our thanks to the two men who did the work. I was very impressed with the care taken, the tidiness of the work done, their friendliness and their attitude. I was really impressed at how carefully they had dug the trench for the oil pipe; to the extent that, unless you looked closely, you wouldn’t know it was there. I will have no problem recommending you to anyone I know. Mrs. S from Ifold: I recently contacted your company when our oil tank started leaking and just wanted to comment on the excellent service I received. Can you pass on my thanks to the two installers, refreshing nowadays to find people who are reliable, efficient and friendly. I will definitely be recommending you to anyone I know in need of your services. Mr. W from Small Dole: Many thanks, we are very pleased with the oil tank and its installation. Good service by very pleasant people and would have no hesitation in recommending your work to others.
