Expert Oil Spill Cleaning Services
If you require a professional oil spill cleaning company in Swanley, look no further.
Our oil spill cleaning experts are available for clients across the nation, including Swanley.
Although oil spills can happen at home and at work, most of the time when we think about them, we focus on recent ocean pollution. In addition to the dangers of trips, falls, and slips, there are also fire threats and health concerns. If an oil leak is not controlled and cleaned promptly, it could quickly turn into a disaster.
We at ICE Cleaning are aware of the dangers that an oil spill can entail, and we prioritise our clients' safety. We can help with the clean-up of a petrol spill, a diesel spill, a hydraulic oil spill, an oil spill in water, on soil, or on a hard surface. Our highly certified specialists have years of industrial cleaning knowledge and will successfully remove any residues left behind.

We’re fully accredited
We place best practise, professional expertise and health and safety at the core of our business. We’re fully compliant with all legal obligations. You can view a list of our accreditations below, or visit our Health & Safety page for more information.
We’re available around the clock for customers in Swanley and can be on-site in a matter of hours in the event of an emergency.
Our specialists are trained to handle instances involving hazardous oil spills. When we get on-site, we take the customer's safety in mind and conduct a survey to determine the size and severity before we begin. The cleaning technique and the initial cost of the job may fluctuate based on the circumstances of the spill and what the site survey reveals.
We confine the oil and fully remove it from the area using industrial-grade gear. We sanitise the contaminated area with a chemical treatment that extracts any remaining oil. This may need to be performed numerous times before the TORIK Cleaning system is used to complete the task. Our professional cleaners will remain on-site until you are pleased with the results and will remove any contaminated things off-site.
The risks of an oil spill in the workplace
When there is an oil leak in the workplace, all employees are at risk for serious injuries or long-term ailments. You may detect these dangers early by conducting frequent spill risk assessments and asking your staff for feedback on existing workplace health and safety requirements.
Physical injuries
A slip-and-fall incident is probable if oil spills onto a surface that employees may touch or walk on. If the oil is heated, it may cause burns and scald the skin. You should have absorbent mats or pads around oil tanks and barrels to absorb extra oil or contain a leak.
Health and welfare
Depending on the severity of the spill and the individual, exposure to oil may differ. Oil can have harmful health consequences when inhaled, consumed, or touched, including an increased risk of cancer and dermatitis. You can read more about the health risks of oil spillage here.
Fire risk
Oil is flammable and easily ignites when an open flame or other intense heat sources comes close. Staff members face a serious risk of suffering major burn injuries if they decide to smoke after encountering oil. Oil barrels must be kept away from any open fires or heat sources, and utilising industrial-grade containers might reduce the chance of a fire. Before consuming food, drinks, or smoking, workers should wash their hands thoroughly and discard any contaminated clothes.
Environmental impact
Oil tanks in homes and factories have the possibility of polluting the environment. Any drains in the building potentially connect to nearby water supplies, and in the event of a workplace incident, the water could become contaminated during a leak. The flow should be stopped, and any surrounding drains must be covered, to avoid harming the environment.
What should you do when oil spills?
You must put yourself first if an oil spill happens at work or if your household heating oil tank starts to leak. Preferably, you should try to contain the spill using absorbents like sand or cat litter if you are certified and it is safe. Otherwise, you must maintain your distance and take the following actions:
- Stop the flow of oil if it is safe and you are qualified
- Put a bucket under the leak and close valves or taps
- Use a spill kit, sandbags, or earth to soak up the oil if it is safe to do so
- Stop oil from entering a river, stream, watercourse, and drains or soaking into the ground
- Never wash any spilt oil away into drains or into the ground to prevent polluting local water supplies
- Never use chemicals or water to clean up spilt oil
- Avoid touching the oil
- Use warm, soapy water on your skin to remove any oil
- Take off any contaminated clothing right away
- If there is a spill, notify your local authorities and any close residents
- Call 111 if you experience any immediate symptoms
- If you experience severe symptoms, dial 999 or visit A&E
