Restricted Access To Tanks

Water Tank before Relining — internal condition of water tank before lining

It’s very common, particularly in older buildings, to find water tanks installed in areas with restricted access.

Over the years, we often see that additional pipework and plant equipment are added, causing further obstructions and further reducing accessibility to the existing water tank.

These hazardous conditions subsequently make it very difficult, if not impossible, to carry out external repairs or water tank replacements when required.

Our tank lining service offers the perfect solution for impractical access conditions since we only need limited access to complete a full tank reline or water tank repair.

Most water tanks can be accessed either through a hatch in the tank’s lid, by removing the structure’s lid entirely, or preferably through a low-level access manway, which allows our confined-space-trained operatives to enter safely. Our experienced teams only need internal access to fully refurbish and reline all types of liquid-retaining structures.

Why Does A Water Tank Require Lining?

If you suspect an issue with your site’s water tank, it is critical to initially carry out a full site survey. This helps our team identify defects to fix and gather important information about the site we’ll work on.

A water tank can require relining for numerous reasons such as the following:

Leaking from failed joints between the water tanks panels, usually caused by the mastic failing which is a common fault with GRP water tanks.
Cracked panels, causing a water tank to leak, once again common with GRP tanks, often caused by structural movement.
Heavy corrosion, most common with older, untreated galvanised steel cold water storage tanks and cooling towers.
Heavy blistering of GRP tanks internal surfaces
Black spore osmosis present underneath the gel coat of GRP water tanks.

You can resolve all the issues above by utilizing our water tank lining solution without needing to replace your site’s water storage tank.

We operate nationwide and have carried out numerous water tank relining projects in London, Wales & Scotland. Should you require any further information why not contact our friendly team and see how we can help.

Water Tank Lining FAQ’s

If you have a question about our Tank Lining service, check the FAQ below to see if we’ve already answered it.

Is Tank Lining cost effective?

Tank lining involves the refurbishment and relining of an existing water tank as opposed to carrying out the replacement of an existing structure.
Our specialist solution allows for operatives to carry out a water tank repair or tank reline by simply draining an existing water tank and carrying out the required refurbishment works without the requirement to replace the existing liquid retaining structure.
Therefore, ensuring potential site downtimes and any wastage caused to a minimum.

Do you offer guarantees?

Yes we do. To back up our confidence in our expert storage tank lining service, we offer up to 15 years guarantee on all tank lining projects. The guarantee duration will be made clear at the time of quotation and provided in writing.

Will my site suffer downtime?

Tank lining can be carried out during “out of hours” working times & over weekends, often water tanks and process vessels are separated into two separate compartments, which ensure operatives are able to work on one compartment at a time, therefore keeping one compartment online at all times and ensuring the water system down services do not require isolating.

Which areas do you cover?

Our water tank relining teams are set up to provide fast and dependable service throughout England, Scotland, Wales and both Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland. As part of one of the nation’s largest and most trusted water system suppliers we are backed by teams offering water tank relining in London, Kent, Manchester, Newcastle, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Southampton, South East of England, Dublin & Belfast.

Can’t we just replace the tank?

Carrying out full water tank replacements can be very costly and time consuming therefore water tank lining can be a far more cost-effective alternative which ensures far less disruption is caused to a building’s services and occupants. Tank Lining is a much more sustainable option too.

We manage a large residential block and recently reached out to Echo to quote to reline two water tanks that were failing. An absolute fantastic service all round. A quote was received within a day or so. Works were booked in and communication was excellent. We were really impressed with the engineers on the day. They communicated well on the day in terms of the plan of action. Once the work was complete, they ensured all areas were left clean and tidy. A follow up report post works was sent very soon after the works.

We look forward to working with Echo again. If you need honest, reliable contractors who will get the job done and to a high a standard, don't hesitate to get in touch with them.

Thank you.

I contacted Echo Square on behalf of a client of mine who urgently needed her Victorian underground Cistern re lined. The work was quoted for promptly and the work carried out to a high standard by the engineers who were courteous and friendly despite their long drive to site. My client was very impressed and so grateful to have her Cistern back in working order. I would highly recommend this company and will most definitely approach them again should I have another client with tank issues in the future. 5 star service!

We were carrying out plumbing works on a site in London where we discovered a badly leaking GRP water tank, the Echo Square Services team attended site as quickly as possible to repair the leak and reline the tank. We will definitely contact them next time we are faced with a similar issue - would highly recommend.

Having used other companies in the past I can wholeheartedly say that our dealings with Nationwide Tank Relining have been a breath of fresh air. We have had tanks relined, water hygiene assessments and floor coatings. All work was carried out in a timely manner and the quality of work has each and every time been exemplary. My bosses are thrilled with my decision to switch to Nationwide Tank Relining and a tank that was relined 10 years ago by them still looks good as new internally, and the money we've saved from choosing the right supplier has proven to be a very smart business move. Highly recommended!
