Tank cleaning and replacement for Ajman and Sharjah buildings.

The date is set by law, not by us

The obligation sits with the building owner, not with whoever supplied the tank, and most owners find that out at an inspection rather than at purchase. Sharjah Municipality and Civil Defence also apply fines to owners for maintenance neglect.

Which rule applies to you depends on the emirate, and each one is set out with its source on our compliance guide.

Clean it, or replace it — we will tell you which

If the tank is sound we clean it and give you the record. If it is past repair we replace it and take the old one away, and if the old unit is still serviceable we buy it back against the new one.

• Cracked panels, a lid that no longer seals, sediment that returns within weeks of a clean, or water that discolours again soon after — those usually mean the tank itself is the problem, not the cleaning.
• We say which it is before quoting rather than after, because a clean on a failed tank is money spent twice.
• Repair, relining and lid or hatch replacement are all cheaper while the tank is already empty and open.

Before you book, tell us your emirate

Cleaning contractors are accredited separately in each emirate — Dubai Municipality, SEWA in Sharjah, and the Ajman scheme. Send us the emirate along with the address and we will confirm what we can carry out ourselves and what goes through an accredited contractor. We would rather say that before the job than after the invoice.
