Local Experts
The Local Experts You Can Trust in Carlisle
Border Tank Services has been working in Carlisle and across Cumbria since 2012. We understand the region well the principal city of Cumbria and a natural hub for rural properties across the Eden Valley and North Pennines, where a substantial number of homes beyond the city's edge rely on off-grid oil heating. When you call us, you speak to someone who knows the area, not a call centre.
Our engineers are OFTEC-registered, meaning every job we carry out is legally compliant and fully documented. We issue compliance certificates and decommissioning paperwork on completion of every installation and removal. Your property is protected, your insurance is protected, and you have the paperwork to prove it.
We do not use subcontractors. Our own vetted team handles every job from start to finish. That is how we have maintained our reputation across Cumbria for over a decade.

Questions
Common Questions About Oil Tanks in Carlisle
How quickly can you respond to a call-out in Carlisle?
We cover Carlisle regularly and aim to respond to urgent call-outs within 24-48 hours. For non-urgent work such as planned replacements or annual servicing, we can typically schedule within one to two weeks.
Do I need to upgrade to a bunded tank in Cumbria?
Under the Environment Agency's General Binding Rules, oil storage installations in England must meet current standards. Bunded tanks are recommended for all new and replacement installations to ensure compliance and protect your insurance position.

Environment Agency Rules - England
In England, the Environment Agency's General Binding Rules govern oil tank installations. Updated in 2020 and 2023, these rules require all tanks to meet minimum standards. Non-compliant tanks can result in fines and may void your home insurance. Every installation we carry out in Carlisle meets current Environment Agency standards.
