Ireland — how this works

Fuel Fixer Scotland is a Scottish operator. We do not run our own vans in Waterford, so we do not pretend to: what we do is take the call, work out exactly what has gone into which tank, and put you straight through to a wrong-fuel drainer covering Stradbally Waterford.

The advice on this page is the same either side of the Irish Sea, because the mechanics are: do not start the engine, do not move the vehicle, and get the wrong fluid out before anything is run through the system. That part does not change with the jurisdiction. What does change is the waste regulator — in Ireland that is the EPA and the local authority, not SEPA — and the drainer who attends will issue their own paperwork.

Call 01295 380724 and say where you are. If we cannot get someone to you, we will tell you that on the phone rather than take a booking we cannot keep.

About heating oil disposal in Stradbally Waterford

The sludge at the base of an old heating-oil tank is its own job. It is not clean fuel but a mix of water, degraded oil and bacterial matter, and clearing a tank properly means taking that away too, not just pumping off the good oil.

Heating oil is the umbrella term; underneath it are 28-second kerosene for most domestic boilers and 35-second gas oil for some older and agricultural ones. Both, and the sludge with them, are collected and disposed of under licence.

Disposal is what keeps you clean under duty-of-care rules: the heating oil goes to a permitted facility rather than anywhere convenient, and the transfer note proves where it went and when.

Done properly, disposal gives you a defensible trail. The fuel from Stradbally Waterford is destroyed or recovered at a licensed facility, and the documentation issued is what protects you under the duty-of-care regime.

Common questions

Do you dispose of heating oil in Stradbally Waterford?

We connect you with a licensed local carrier covering Stradbally Waterford and the rest of Waterford. They attend, lift the heating oil and dispose of it under the NIEA or EPA and the local authority, and issue the waste transfer note.

Is heating oil hazardous waste?

Yes. It cannot be tipped away, drained or left in a redundant tank. A registered carrier removes it and disposes of it through a permitted facility with a transfer note.

Can you help with a leaking or rusted tank?

We pump out the oil and sludge so a failing tank can be dealt with safely, and can advise on cleaning and decommissioning. Describe the tank when you call.

Do you cover commercial as well as domestic tanks?

Yes — house tanks, bunded commercial stores and farm tanks alike, quoted per litre against the volume and access.

How soon can it be collected?

Often quickly for accessible sites; the window is confirmed with the quote before travel. A leak is treated as more urgent.
