Oil Tank Installation in Wiltshire

New build, conversion or moving your tank to a better spot? Our qualified engineers supply and install bunded and single-skin oil tanks to a fully compliant standard, anywhere in Wiltshire.

A new oil tank is only as good as the installation behind it. Get the base, position or pipework wrong and you risk failed inspections, voided insurance and pollution liability. Our team installs bunded and single-skin tanks to current building-regulation standards, with the paperwork to prove it — across Salisbury, Swindon, Chippenham, Devizes and the whole county.

What a compliant installation involves

  • Free site survey with a fire-separation risk assessment to find the right, legal position
  • A level, load-bearing base (concrete or paving slabs) sized correctly for the tank
  • Supply of a UK-made tank in the right size for your home or business
  • New fire valve, filter, gauge and oil supply pipework
  • commissioning, testing and a CD/11 completion certificate
  • Building Control notification where required

Bunded or single-skin?

A bunded (double-skinned) tank is required whenever a risk assessment says a leak could reach a watercourse, drain, borehole or hard surface — which covers most modern installations. A single-skin tank may be permitted in low-risk positions and costs less. We assess this properly at survey rather than guessing, and explain exactly why your site needs what it needs. See our plain-English oil tank regulations guide.

Where can the tank go?

Oil tanks must sit a minimum distance from buildings, boundaries, windows and flue terminals — or be protected by a fire barrier. On rural Wiltshire properties there's usually room to find a tidy, compliant spot; on tighter sites we use slimline tanks or a fire-rated solution to make it work.

How much does installation cost?

It depends on the tank, the base and the pipework run. We give a fixed quote after survey — see typical figures in our cost guide.

Installation FAQs

Do you build the base for the tank?

Yes. We lay a compliant concrete or paving-slab base capable of taking the full weight of a filled tank, as required by building regulations.

Where can an oil tank be installed?

Position depends on fire-separation distances from buildings and boundaries. We carry out a risk assessment on your survey to find a compliant location.

Will I get a certificate?

Yes — every install is commissioned and signed off with a completion certificate for your records and insurer.
