Questions
Common Questions About Oil Tanks in Melrose
How quickly can you respond to a call-out in Melrose?
We cover Melrose 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 Scottish Borders?
SEPA strongly recommends bunded (double-walled) tanks for all oil storage in Scotland, and new installations are required to meet current standards. Single-skin tanks represent an environmental risk and may not be covered by your home insurance in the event of a leak. We recommend all Melrose homeowners upgrade if their single-skin tank is over ten years old.
Can you also service my oil boiler in Melrose?
Yes. We offer oil boiler servicing across Melrose and the wider Scottish Borders. Our skilled and OFTEC-registered engineers service all major domestic oil boiler makes and models. Annual servicing keeps your appliance running efficiently and maintains your manufacturer warranty.
SEPA Regulations - Scotland
In Scotland, SEPA (Scottish Environment Protection Agency) regulates all oil storage and wastewater discharges. Oil tanks must be installed to current standards and any leaks or spills must be reported. Our OFTEC-registered installations are fully compliant with SEPA requirements, protecting you from environmental fines.
