What to do
in an oil tank emergency:
If you suspect your oil tank is leaking or compromised, follow these immediate steps to minimise damage:
Stop the flow: If the leak is coming from a valve or pipe, attempt to close the manual shut-off valve if you feel safe doing so.
Contain the spill: Use sand, earth, or a spill kit to create a barrier. Prevent oil from entering drains, manholes, or bodies of water.
Extinguish ignition sources: Ensure there is no smoking or open flames near the site.
Call our experts: Contact our Norfolk emergency oil tank team immediately. We can provide over-the-phone advice whilst we dispatch an engineer to your property.
Our emergency oil tank service in Norfolk covers:
Fuel salvaging and cleaning

Structural integrity checks
If you’ve noticed your plastic oil tank bowing or cracking, we will provide an immediate safety evaluation and advise on what to do next.
Temporary oil tank leak fixes
We can use leak putty and temporary seals to temporarily stop your leaking oil tank from losing more oil, whilst we arrange a permanent oil tank replacement.
Emergency fuel pump outs
We are able to rapidly extract remaining fuel from your oil tank and hold it in a secure, temporary tank to prevent further leakage.
