Licensed and insured oil tank installs, fibreglass upgrades and removals for Bay Roberts, Coley's Point, Shearstown and the rest of Conception Bay North. One call, one written price, and no waiting on a crew that may never show.
If you heat with oil in Bay Roberts, the tag on your tank matters more than most people think, right up until the delivery driver reads the date and won't fill it. Bay Roberts and the towns around it, Spaniard's Bay, Harbour Grace and Carbonear, have a lot of older houses still on oil, and a lot of steel tanks that were tagged years ago and haven't been looked at since. Harbour Tank Co replaces and removes those tanks, and the price goes in writing before anyone leaves St. John's.
Conception Bay North has fewer tank contractors than the city, so most homeowners here are already used to booking someone from out of town. Bay Roberts is about an hour from St. John's, and we group our CBN jobs together so the drive isn't a reason to put you off. If the tag has already run out or there's oil on the basement floor, the 24/7 emergency line at (709) 800-3117 is there for exactly that.
A new steel or fibreglass tank installed and tagged by a licensed installer, with the old one hauled away, so your supplier can put your Bay Roberts address back on the delivery list. We handle the disconnect, the lines, the base and the paperwork.
We drain, disconnect and remove old tanks from Bay Roberts basements, porches and outside pads, and deal with the leftover oil and sludge properly. It's the right move if you've gone to a heat pump or you're selling a house with a tank that's past its date.
Salt air off Conception Bay is hard on steel, and fibreglass won't rust through from either side. It also carries a much longer tag, which means fewer replacements over the life of the house and fewer December surprises.
Refused delivery because the tag ran out, or an oil smell in the basement you can't place? Call the 24/7 line and we'll tell you straight when we can be in Bay Roberts, not a vague 'sometime next week'.
Bay Roberts grew up around the fishery and the old cable station, and a good share of its housing is decades old. Houses like that were built for oil, and many of them still run on it. That usually means a steel tank on the shady side of the house or in a basement corner, with a metal tag that reads something like 7-2028, which means no deliveries after the end of July 2028.
An outdoor single-wall steel tank is only allowed a set number of years before it has to come out, and the clock started the day it was installed, not the day you bought the house. Out here the trouble tends to show up in December, when the first big fill of the season gets refused and the house is already cooling off. If that's where you are, our page on expired tank emergencies explains what happens next, or just call, because the fix is the same either way: a new tagged tank.
The weather doesn't help. Outdoor tanks in Bay Roberts, Coley's Point and Shearstown take wind, spray and freeze-thaw all winter, and a tank that looks fine from the driveway can be thinning out along the bottom seam. Our replacement service covers the whole swap, old tank out to new tag on.
Bay Roberts is about an hour from St. John's: out the Trans-Canada to the Veterans Memorial Highway and down into town, or the slower run along the Conception Bay Highway through Brigus and Clarke's Beach. We book Conception Bay North jobs together, so a Bay Roberts replacement usually lands on the same run as work in Spaniard's Bay, Harbour Grace or Carbonear.
Because there are fewer tank contractors on this side of the bay, we know plenty of Bay Roberts homeowners have already been told to wait. We'd rather be honest about the schedule than promise a day we can't hit. Call, tell us what the tag says and where the tank sits, and you'll get a free written estimate and a real date.
The written estimate is the whole point. Our cost guide lays out the numbers: about $3,200 for a 200-gallon steel tank installed with the old one removed, about $3,850 for fibreglass, and about $500 to remove an outdoor tank on its own. Indoor removals are quoted case by case, and if anything about your job is unusual, like a tank that has to come out through a basement window, we'll say so before you book.
Most Bay Roberts replacements are a straight swap: old steel out, new steel in, new tag on. It's the lower up-front cost, and for a tank in a dry basement it does the job for a good many years. The trade-off is the shorter tag life, so you or the next owner will be back at this again down the road.
If the tank sits outside, or the house is close enough to the water that you can taste the salt on a windy day, fibreglass is worth a hard look. It doesn't corrode, it carries a far longer tag, and it takes the yearly worry out of the fall fill. Our fibreglass upgrade page walks through what's involved.
There's a paperwork angle too. Insurers and the lawyer on a house sale often ask for proof the tank is registered and in date, and a lot of older Bay Roberts homes change hands with a tag nobody's checked. We'll price both options in the written estimate so you can see the difference in dollars, and if getting off oil altogether is the better call, a plain tank removal might be all you need.
We come out. Bay Roberts is our main stop in Conception Bay North, and we cover Coley's Point, Shearstown, Spaniard's Bay, Harbour Grace, Carbonear, Clarke's Beach, Cupids and Brigus on the same runs. It's about an hour from St. John's, and we book the whole area together so the trip isn't a problem for us or an extra headache for you.
Call the 24/7 emergency line at (709) 800-3117 and tell us it's an expired tag with the house running low on oil. We treat those as emergencies, not routine bookings, and we'll give you an honest date rather than a hopeful one. Once the new tank is installed and tagged, your supplier can put you back on the delivery list. Any after-hours premium varies by contractor, and we'll tell you before you book.
Usually, yes. Send a few photos of the tank, the tag and where it sits, and tell us whether it's inside or outside, and we can put together a free written estimate from St. John's. If something looks unusual we'll come and look before we quote it, so the number you get is the number you pay.
For an outdoor tank in salt air, it often is. Fibreglass doesn't rust, so the spray off Conception Bay doesn't shorten its life the way it does with steel, and the longer tag means fewer replacements over the years. For a tank in a dry basement, steel is still a fair choice. We'll price both so you can decide with real numbers in front of you.
Free written estimates. Emergency calls answered around the clock.
