What Types of Tanks do we Clean?
At Tank Cleaning, we specialise in professional cleaning and maintenance of various types of tanks, ensuring safety, efficiency, and compliance with industry standards.
Our expert team is equipped to handle the toughest contaminants, residues, and deposits. Here are the key types of tanks we clean:
Water Tank Cleaning
Regular cleaning of water tanks is essential to prevent bacterial growth, sediment build-up, and contamination.
We clean potable water tanks, industrial water storage tanks, and fire suppression tanks, ensuring they meet hygiene and safety regulations.
Fuel Tank Cleaning
Diesel and petrol tanks accumulate sludge, microbial contamination, and water ingress over time, which can affect performance and fuel quality.
We provide thorough cleaning and decontamination services for above-ground and underground fuel tanks.
Oil Tank Cleaning
Oil tanks, whether used for heating or industrial purposes, require periodic cleaning to remove sludge, rust, and residues that can cause blockages and corrosion.
Our oil tank cleaning process improves efficiency and extends the lifespan of your tank.
Chemical Tank Cleaning
Chemical storage tanks require specialised cleaning due to hazardous residues, chemical reactions, and regulatory requirements.
We use industry-approved cleaning methods to safely remove deposits, neutralise contaminants, and prepare tanks for reuse or decommissioning.
Interceptor Tank Cleaning
Interceptor tanks trap oils, hydrocarbons, and other pollutants before they enter drainage systems.
Regular maintenance prevents blockages, odours, and environmental contamination. Our interceptor tank cleaning services ensure optimal function and compliance with environmental regulations.
How much does Tank Cleaning Cost?
The average cost of tank cleaning ranges from £250 to £2,500.

What are the Benefits of Regular Tank Cleaning?
Regular tank cleaning is essential for maintaining safety, efficiency, and compliance.
Over time, tanks accumulate sludge, debris, and contaminants that can affect their performance and lead to costly damage. Keeping tanks clean ensures they function properly and remain in good condition. The key benefits of regular tank cleaning include:
Preventing contamination: Reduces the risk of bacteria, rust, or chemical buildup affecting stored substances.
Extending tank lifespan: Minimises corrosion and structural damage caused by sludge and residue.
Ensuring compliance: Meets UK health, safety, and environmental regulations.
Improving efficiency: Prevents blockages and maintains optimal flow for fuel, water, or chemicals.
Reducing maintenance costs: Lowers the risk of costly repairs and emergency callouts due to system failures.
What Methods do we Use for Tank Cleaning?
At Tank Cleaning, we use advanced cleaning methods tailored to the type of tank, its contents, and the level of contamination. Our cleaning techniques ensure maximum efficiency, safety, and compliance with industry regulations. Here are the key methods we use:
Manual Cleaning: For smaller or heavily contaminated tanks, our specialists enter the tank and manually remove sludge, debris, and build-up using specialist tools and equipment. This method is effective for thorough cleaning but requires strict safety measures, including confined space entry procedures.
High-Pressure Jetting: We use high-pressure water jetting to remove stubborn residues, rust, and contaminants from tank walls and surfaces. This method is ideal for water tanks, fuel tanks, and chemical tanks, providing a deep clean without damaging the tank structure.
Chemical Cleaning: For tanks that store hazardous or reactive substances, we use chemical cleaning agents to break down deposits and neutralise residues. Our team selects the appropriate chemicals based on the tank’s contents, ensuring safe and effective cleaning while complying with environmental regulations.
Automated & Robotic Cleaning: To minimise human entry into confined spaces, we utilise robotic cleaning systems for large industrial tanks. These machines use rotating nozzles, vacuum systems, and high-powered jets to clean efficiently without the need for manual intervention.
Vacuum Tanker Extraction: For tanks containing sludge, oil residues, or wastewater, we use vacuum tanker systems to safely extract and dispose of waste materials. This method ensures quick and efficient removal of contaminants, reducing downtime and environmental risks.
Steam Cleaning & Hot Water Flushing: For tanks requiring sterilisation, we use steam cleaning or hot water flushing to remove bacteria, grease, and chemical residues. This method is commonly used for food-grade water tanks, chemical storage tanks, and oil tanks.
Confined Space Entry Cleaning: When tanks require internal inspection and detailed cleaning, our trained professionals enter the confined space with full PPE and breathing apparatus. We follow strict safety protocols to ensure the protection of our team and compliance with HSE regulations.
How Often Should You Schedule Tank Cleaning?
It is recommended to clean tanks at least once a year to prevent contamination and ensure safe operation.
The frequency of tank cleaning depends on the type of tank, its contents, and industry regulations.
Water tanks, especially those storing potable water, require annual cleaning, while fuel and chemical tanks typically need servicing every one to two years.
In high-usage environments, such as industrial sites or food production facilities, more frequent cleaning may be necessary to maintain safety and efficiency.
Are your Tank Cleaning Services Certified and Compliant?
Our tank cleaning services comply with all relevant UK health, safety, and environmental regulations.
We adhere to standards such as COSHH (Control of Substances Hazardous to Health), WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme), and HSE (Health and Safety Executive) guidelines.
Our team is fully trained in confined space entry, hazardous material handling, and safe waste disposal, ensuring all work is carried out to the highest safety and compliance standards.
