About kerosene collection in Radyr Cardiff
Kerosene sits quietly in a tank until something disturbs it — a house move, a switch away from oil heating, a leak, or years of condensation building a sludge layer at the bottom. Because it is a controlled, flammable oil, it cannot simply be drained onto the ground.
Contaminated kerosene that keeps tripping the burner is the other frequent job. Rather than fight it filter by filter, the old oil is removed, the tank checked, and fresh fuel put in clean.
Collecting the kerosene means bringing the equipment to you rather than moving the fuel yourself. The carrier draws it out of the tank or cans, checks for residue and takes it off site, documented on a transfer note.
For collection in Radyr Cardiff the carrier comes to the fuel rather than the other way round. With the litres and access confirmed, the visit is quick, the vessel is left checked, and the transfer note is your proof it was lifted properly.

Common questions
Do you collect kerosene in Radyr Cardiff?
Yes — across Radyr Cardiff and the rest of Cardiff. A registered carrier attends home, farm, depot, marina and commercial sites, pumps out the kerosene and issues a waste transfer note on site.
Is kerosene the same as heating oil?
Kerosene (28-second) is the common domestic heating oil for off-grid homes. Heating oil also covers gas oil (35-second) used by some older or agricultural boilers. We collect both.
Why does old kerosene stop the boiler working?
Water and sludge collecting under the fuel, plus bacterial growth, block the boiler's fine nozzle. Removing the old oil and cleaning the tank usually clears it.
Can I empty my own oil tank?
It is safer and cleaner to have it pumped out by a registered carrier, especially as the oil is hazardous waste that cannot be tipped away. You also get a transfer note.
Do you decommission the tank too?
We pump out and remove the kerosene and can advise on or arrange tank cleaning and decommissioning. Tell us what you need when you call.
