Removal and disposal of your old boiler or tank
An old boiler, cylinder or oil tank being replaced needs disconnecting safely and removing from the property, and responsible disposal follows waste regulations rather than simply being left for the homeowner to deal with. This is generally handled as part of the overall installation.
What we check first with old appliance removal
Safe disconnection includes isolating gas, oil, water and electrical supplies to the old appliance before it is removed from its position, which sometimes needs care in tight cupboards or lofts. Disposal of old appliances containing refrigerant, oil residue or other regulated materials follows waste carrier regulations, so old equipment is taken to an appropriately licensed facility rather than general waste.
