Proficient Oil Spill Cleaning Services
If you require a reliable cleaning company in Tenterden, give us a call today.
With years of experience in the oil spill cleaning sector, we’re on hand to deal with all your cleaning needs in Tenterden.
When we think about major oil leaks, we focus on recent ocean pollution instead of oil spills occurring in our back gardens. Although domestic oil tanks are not as prominent, homeowners in rural areas use these to heat their houses. However, this leaves the local environment vulnerable in the event of a spill, quickly becoming a disaster.
The safety of our clients is our top priority, and we at ICE Cleaning are mindful of the risks that a domestic oil spill may present. We can assist with the clean-up of an oil spill that has occurred in water, on soil, on a hard surface, or that contains petrol, diesel, hydraulic oil, or any other liquid. Our highly qualified specialists will eliminate any residues left behind thanks to their extensive industrial cleaning experience.

We’re paving the way for oil spill cleaning services in Tenterden.
Our experts are qualified to deal with hazardous oil spill situations. When we get on-site, we prioritise the safety of the client and perform a survey to identify the size and severity before we start. Depending on the specifics of the spill and what the site assessment shows, the cleaning procedure and initial quote may change.
We use industrial-grade equipment to contain the oil and remove it from the area. We extract any leftover oil while we chemically sanitise the polluted area. Before the TORIK Cleaning system finishes the job, this might need to be performed repeatedly. Until you are happy with the results, our expert cleaners will stay on-site and remove any contaminated items off-site.
The risks of a domestic oil leak
Everyone nearby is at risk of severe injuries or chronic illnesses when your domestic oil tank leaks. Regular tank inspections and risk assessments conducted by an oil expert will help you spot these threats early on. Yet, there are additional dangers to consider in relation to an oil spill.
Fire risk
Oil is combustible and rapidly catches on fire when an open flame or other sources of high heat are nearby. The fire risk may decrease with an industrial-grade tank, which must be moved from open flames or heat sources. If you want to smoke, thoroughly wash your hands after handling oil storage containers or touching the oil.
Environmental impact
Homes with oil tanks run the risk of contaminating the environment. Local water sources connected to the area's drains could get polluted in the event of a leak. Nearby drains should be covered to protect the local ecology when the flow spreads.
Health and welfare
The effects of oil exposure vary depending on the spill's intensity and the affected person's current health. When touched, consumed, or inhaled, an individual will have various health effects, including a higher risk of dermatitis and cancer.

What should you do when oil spills?
If the oil tank for your home's heating starts to leak, you must prioritise your safety. If you are qualified and it is safe, you should try to contain the leak using absorbents like sand or cat litter. In the meantime, 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
