Keep your heating oil safely stored with professional oil tank services from O’Byrne Services. Based in Kilkenny, we provide oil tank inspections, replacements and installation support for homeowners, landlords and businesses across the Southeast of Ireland. 

Your oil tank is a vital part of your heating system. If it becomes cracked, damaged, unstable or non-compliant, it can lead to leaks, fuel loss, environmental damage and costly repairs. Regular checks and timely replacement help protect your property and keep your oil-fired heating system operating safely.

 

Common oil tank issues we look for

  • Cracks or splits in the tank
  • Bulging or distortion
  • Rust or corrosion on metal components
  • Oil staining around the tank base
  • Leaks from valves, fittings or pipework
  • Damaged or missing tank lids
  • Poor tank support
  • Unstable base or subsidence
  • Overgrown vegetation around the tank
  • Incorrect positioning near buildings, boundaries or drains
  • Age-related deterioration
  • Signs of previous repairs or patching

If we identify a problem, we will explain it clearly and recommend the safest next step.

We will always advise you on the most suitable option for your property, usage and available space.

Oil Tank Installation

A properly installed oil tank should be level, stable, accessible and positioned safely. Poor installation can lead to tank movement, pipework strain, leaks or future compliance issues.

Our oil tank installation service focuses on safe positioning, secure support and practical access for future oil deliveries, inspections and maintenance.

Depending on the property and tank type, installation may include:

  • Transfer of oil for old to new tank
  • Connecting tank to boiler
  • Preparation of a stable base
  • Disposal of old tank
  • Boiler bleed and start test
  • Advice on ongoing tank care and maintenance

We aim to complete every installation carefully, cleanly and with minimal disruption to your property.
