If you’re a homeowner, landlord, or preparing to sell a property, you may have heard about the importance of an oil tank safety certificate. Having one ensures that your oil boiler and tank are safe, efficient, and fully compliant with current standards, providing peace of mind for property owners, buyers, and tenants alike.
Here at Piran Plumbing in Penzance, we specialise in oil boiler and tank installations, servicing, repairs, and safety certifications, giving you peace of mind whether you’re moving into a new home, upgrading your system, or maintaining your current one.
Why You Need an Oil Tank Safety Certificate
An oil tank safety certificate is issued following a thorough inspection of your oil tank and supply system. It confirms that your installation meets safety standards and is safe to operate. For landlords, it’s crucial for meeting regulatory compliance. For homeowners selling a property, it’s often required to complete a house sale. Even if you’re not selling, having a safety certificate can prevent accidents, leaks, and costly repairs, and ensures your home heating system is running efficiently.
How Piran Plumbing Can Help
At Piran Plumbing, we offer a full range of services for oil boilers and tanks, from installation to repairs, servicing, and issuing safety certificates. Here’s a breakdown of how we can assist:
