When space is limited but you still need reliable oil storage, a small bunded tank is the ideal choice. Our range of compact oil tanks starts at 1000 litres, which is the smallest practical size available in the UK.
Oil delivery companies require a minimum order of around 700 litres, so anything smaller simply wouldn’t be cost-effective or useful. By choosing a 1000 litre or 1200 litre bunded tank, you get a compact solution that works with delivery requirements and still gives you peace of mind.
Every bunded tank we manufacture features 110% secondary containment, meaning even a complete inner tank failure won't result in ground contamination. With steel construction, professional finishing, and integrated dispensing options, AND our 20 year guarantee these tanks deliver decades of reliable service.
A 1000 litre bunded oil tank is a practical choice for properties and sites that need secure oil storage without taking up too much space. The compact capacity makes it suitable for domestic heating oil, small commercial use, rural properties and restricted-access locations where a larger tank may be difficult to install.
Because the tank is bunded, it provides secondary containment to help reduce the risk of leaks or spills reaching the surrounding ground. This makes it a reliable option for homes, farms, workshops, generators and smaller operational sites where safe oil storage is essential.
We supply a selection of compact and slimline bunded oil tanks designed for homes, farms and businesses with restricted access or smaller fuel requirements. Options include:
A smaller oil tank gives you flexibility where space is limited. It reduces the visual impact in your garden or yard, and installation can be simpler compared to larger models. All of our small bunded tanks are manufactured to meet OFTEC and environmental regulations, helping protect your property and the environment.
Many people ask whether 500 litre oil tanks are available. In practice, the answer is no. Oil suppliers generally won't deliver less than 700 litres, so a 500 litre tank would leave you unable to refill safely. A 1000 litre tank is the true starting point, balancing compact size with the ability to take a standard delivery. This ensures you don't run out too quickly and helps you keep heating costs under control.
Where access is tight, slimline tanks provide the storage you need without taking up unnecessary space. These tanks are designed to fit into narrow areas while still offering full bunded protection. They're a popular choice for smaller gardens, courtyards or sites where a standard-shaped tank just won't fit.
The smallest practical size is 1000 litres, due to delivery restrictions. However, we can make you a smaller tank if you need one.
In most cases, yes. UK regulations require bunded tanks if you are storing over 2500 litres, but even smaller tanks benefit from bunding as it prevents leaks and protects the environment.
Typical dimensions vary by design, but most 1000 litre bunded tanks are compact enough to fit alongside a house, garage or outbuilding. We can provide exact measurements for each model.
With proper maintenance, 25-30+ years. Our 20-year structural guarantee reflects our confidence in build quality. Regular inspection and cleaning maximise lifespan.
