Our cleaners shall remove and safely dispose of all toxic materials off-site. Until the result is to your satisfaction, we will remain on-site. The procedure and price of the job may change due to the size of the spill and the outcome of our site survey.

How to know if your domestic oil tank is leaking
It's more common for certain houses, particularly those in rural areas, to use their heating oil tanks to keep their homes warm. The environment is at risk because of the potential location of these spills, which might have an impact on the local water supply. These tanks are extremely prone to leakage, unforeseen damages, and improper upkeep.
If you have a domestic oil tank, you must keep it properly maintained or switch to an alternative heating system to protect the environment in your community. To spot leaks early on, you should frequently check your tank and thoroughly examine the exterior. If any of the following occurs, your tank may be leaking:
- You can taste oil in your water
- There is oily residue around your tank or in the surrounding soil
- You can see dead or discoloured plants near the oil tank.
- The fuel level has decreased dramatically over a short period
- There is a smell of burning or hot oil around your property
When your tank leaks oil you must contact your local council, insurance provider, water company, and a reputable oil spill remediation service. You must oversee the spill and have the oil tank repaired since it is on your property.

- Alert any bystanders or locals to the danger

- If you see or smell oil, stay away from the area
- Don't touch the oil
