Ours is 20 plus years old and the top's gone spongy. Rough price for a new bunded tank supplied and fitted

"There are a lot of variables to consider. Tank location, does the current location meet current regulations, does the base need remedial work, does the tank need re-located, with or without an ultrasonic gauge? What size tank is required?

Our starting price for a standard 1200ltr supplied & installed would be £2,500 plus vat"

"This depends on the situation also…. Does a base need to be built to current standards… is the old tank plastic or steel… will it require to be cut up using mechanical saws… how much fuel is currently stowed in original tank… pumping it into a holding tank/tanks
Last one we did was tank removal and cut up (bunded steel 2000lt) built a base using concrete lintels and 50mm x 600 x 600 concrete slabs
Tank, materials and labour was a total of £3800.
This was a 2 year old deso bunded plastic tank
The client was extremely happy with the over all work and costs!
