Oil interceptor emptying and cleaning
Over time, oil interceptors can accumulate oils, sludge, and debris. Without regular cleaning, this build-up can cause blockages, lead to system failure, and even risk contamination of local watercourses.
At Walsh Brothers Industrial Services, we provide safe and professional interceptor emptying and cleaning services across Scotland. Our team removes all waste materials, thoroughly cleans the chamber, and ensures your interceptor is operating efficiently and in line with environmental regulations.
Whether you need routine maintenance or an emergency clean, we’ll help you reduce the risk of pollution, prevent costly repairs, and keep your site fully compliant.
Responsible tank removal service from start to finish
Got an old fuel, oil, septic, or waste tank that’s no longer in use? At Walsh Brothers Industrial Services, we provide a complete start-to-finish tank removal service - from safe emptying and cleaning, through to dismantling, decomissioning and disposal.
Our decommissioning team uses non-spark equipment, air-driven mechanical cutters, and crane support to remove tanks from even the most challenging locations. Whether it’s a domestic property, industrial site, or high-risk area such as a fuel depot or refinery, we have the experience to carry out removals safely and efficiently.
Every tank is purged, cleaned, and decommissioned before removal, with all waste handled in line with SEPA regulations. This ensures your site is left safe, compliant, and ready for future use.
