Getting rid of tanks
I am considering buying a garage in Lancashire and building a house on the plot. An 18,200 litre (4,000 gallon) petrol tank is still in the ground and must be decommissioned. Who should I contact to remove it and what would be would the approximate cost of the work?
Answers
Decommissioning petrol tanks is a job for experts and the work is supervised by the Health & Safety Executive (www.hse.gov.uk; Infoline 0845 345 0055 for your local HSE office). Approach your local authority’s Building Control department and ask if it has a list of approved contractors and obtain quotations from them.
