East Anglia's oil tank security specialists
Heating oil theft,
ended.
Professional oil tank alarm installation by qualified electricians. We fit the alarm, test it, and walk you through it — then leave you protected. Covering Suffolk, Norfolk, Cambridgeshire, and North Essex.
The problem
Oil theft is fast, quiet, and almost always at night.
A pump and a van. That's all it takes. Thieves can remove 500 litres of heating oil in under five minutes — enough to leave a family without heat in the middle of winter.
Rural properties are the primary target: isolated tanks, no CCTV, no neighbours nearby. In East Anglia, thousands of homes and farms are vulnerable every winter. Most have no alarm at all.
Insurance covers the oil — but not always. And it doesn't cover the cost of a frozen house while you wait for a delivery and a heating engineer.

Why Tank Alarm Pro
Not a product. A service.
Electrician-designed
Not an off-the-shelf import. Tank Alarm was designed in-house by our founder, a qualified Suffolk electrician, to solve a problem he kept seeing with his customers.
Professionally fitted
Every installation is completed by a qualified electrician — never a subcontractor or general handyman.
Local knowledge
We know East Anglia. We know which areas are being hit, which tank positions are most vulnerable, and how thieves operate here.
Industrial-grade build
The components are specified for continuous outdoor use in the UK climate. This is not a consumer alarm with a weatherproof sticker on it.
