Professional Oil Spill Cleaning Services
If you need a professional cleaning solution, we’re on hand for all customers in Whitstable.
Our oil spill cleaning solutions are second to none.
When we consider oil spills, we often overlook the possibility of one happening in our neighbourhood. While they are less common, some rural homeowners use domestic oil tanks to heat their homes. In the case of a leak, the surrounding environment becomes exposed, which might swiftly develop into a disaster.
Our number one concern at ICE Cleaning is the safety of our customers, and we are aware of the potential dangers that a household oil spill may bring. If there is an oil spill on soil, water, or a hard surface that involves petrol, diesel, hydraulic oil, or any other liquid, we can help. Thanks to our highly skilled personnel and considerable industrial cleaning experience, they can remove any residues left behind.

Whether you require indoor cleaning or outdoor cleaning, we’ve got you covered.
Our professionals have the training and equipment necessary to contain any oil and remove it from the area. When we get on the scene, we prioritise the client's safety and conduct a survey to determine the magnitude and severity of the problem before we begin. We can handle even dangerous oil leak scenarios with confidence.
We eliminate any remaining oil while we chemically sanitise the contaminated area. This may need to repeat several times before we use the TORIK Cleaning system. Our skilled cleaners will remain on-site and remove any contaminated objects off-site until you are satisfied with the outcome.
What are the risks of a domestic oil tank spill?
When your home oil tank spills, everyone nearby is at risk of serious injuries or devastating illnesses. You can identify these dangers early on by doing regular tank inspections and risk assessments with the assistance of an oil specialist. Yet, other risks associated with an oil spill may include.
Fire risk
Oil quickly catches fire when an open flame or other heat sources are present. An industrial-grade tank, which must be moved away from open flames or heat sources, might reduce the fire risk. When handling oil storage containers or touching the oil, properly wash your hands before smoking.
Environmental impact
Oil tanks in homes increase the chance of environmental contamination. In the case of a leak, nearby water sources connected to the area's pipes might become contaminated. All drains should be covered to save the local environment when oil spreads.
Health and welfare
Oil exposure will have various impacts depending on the severity of the spill and the affected person's health. A person could experience several detrimental health effects when oil is touched, ingested, or inhaled, including a greater chance of dermatitis and cancer.
The responsibilities of your heating oil tank
If you are a homeowner that stores, fills, transports, manufactures, or uses oil, then you have a legal responsibility to keep it contained. If your negligence leads to a leak or clean-up operation, you may find yourself paying a large fine to the local council.
When you own a heating source, this must be built with the most recent building regulations in mind. You will also need to contact your insurance company and ensure there is coverage available for the tank. This might help cover any costs in the event of a spill and pay for the services of an oil-cleaning company
You should contact the council, local water suppliers, and your insurance company when your tank spills excess oil. This is to protect the safety of water supplies nearby and for the council to advise you on whom to call to contain the spill. You can also search for an industrial cleaning company to come out and help stop the oil flow.

How should you act when oil spills?
If the oil tank for your home's heating begins to leak, you must put your safety first. If you are qualified and it is safe, attempt to stop the leak using absorbents such as sand or cat litter. Meanwhile, take the following steps:
- Never use chemicals or water to clean up spilt oil
- Avoid touching the oil
- Use warm, soapy water on your skin to remove any oil
- Take off any contaminated clothing right away
- If there is a spill, notify your local authorities and any close residents
- Stop the flow of oil if it is safe and you are qualified
- Put a bucket under the leak and close valves or taps
- Use a spill kit, sandbags, or earth to soak up the oil if it is safe to do so
- Stop oil from entering a river, stream, watercourse, and drains or soaking into the ground
- Never wash any spilt oil away into drains or the ground to prevent polluting local water supplies
