Andrew West Hello Roger, when I bought a second hand one a few years ago, I enquired about a license and was told that it would be approx £300 for our council area, so I sold it again.

Re: Waste oil heaters. Posted by Graham Bullock on October 5, 2009, 10:44 am, in reply to "Re: Waste oil heaters." Graham Bullock Our local Environment agency has prosecuted a couple of companies recenlty for not having the correct paperwork in place for waste disposal. I think one fine was around £23,000 and the other was around £17,000. In both cases they had been doing everything correctly except the paperwork trail. I am sure they would not hesitate if they found no licence in place for a waste oil heater, thankfully they don't have anything to do with radio noise pollution.

Re: Waste oil heaters. Posted by sean savage on October 6, 2009, 12:44 pm, in reply to "Re: Waste oil heaters." Sean Savage Dont even get me on my high horse about this!! £160 off any business that "ommits smoke" into the atmosphere!! gggrrrrrwe have run our waste oil burner for years,its well worth the £160. the council will require you to keep a log book. in it you just note each date you light it and the amount of "visible" smoke been given out. they will send a guy around in a nice suit once a year (they tell you when he is coming) to inspect the heater,they havent a clue what they are looking at so just give it a good clean and it passes! sean  Post a Response ( * ) Required
