Spill Response Services

Wastege provides fast, professional spill response services for commercial and industrial sites across the UK.

Whether you are dealing with an oil spill, fuel spill, chemical leak or another hazardous substance, our experienced team can respond quickly to help contain the incident, clean the affected area and arrange appropriate waste disposal.

We support businesses with emergency spill control, site clean-up and the documentation required to manage the incident properly.

Emergency Spill Response

When a spill happens, the priority is to control the situation safely and prevent the contamination from spreading.

Wastege can attend commercial and industrial sites to assess the incident, deploy suitable equipment and begin containment and clean-up work.

Our spill response service can include:

Spill containment
Clean-up of contaminated areas
Removal of affected materials
Collection and disposal of resulting waste
Risk assessments and method statements
Support for oil, fuel, chemical and other hazardous spills

Where hazardous waste is involved, our hazardous waste team can manage the resulting waste stream and advise on the appropriate disposal route.

Confined space waste management

Wastege employs a team of trained confined space operators who are equipped to carry out projects of all sizes. Using a range of industrial vacuum and bagging equipment, we ensure every area of your building or site is cleaned safely and efficiently by experienced professionals.

Our service includes confined space cleaning and confined space tank cleaning across a wide range of environments, from commercial premises to industrial facilities. Whatever your requirements, we provide a reliable, high-quality industrial vacuum cleaning service that meets the highest standards.

What to Do if a Spill Happens

If a spill occurs on your site, provide as much information as possible when contacting us. This should include the substance involved, the estimated quantity and whether there is any immediate risk to people, machinery or the environment.

Where it is safe to do so:

Keep unauthorised personnel away from the affected area
Stop nearby equipment if there is a risk of contamination or further damage
Use suitable spill kits or barriers to help prevent the spill spreading
Contact Wastege as soon as possible for further assistance

Do not put yourself or your team at risk attempting to control a spill where the material is unknown, hazardous or unsafe to approach.

Oil, Fuel and Chemical Spill Clean-Up

Different spill types require different containment and cleaning methods.

Wastege can respond to a range of incidents involving oils, fuels, chemicals and other potentially hazardous substances.

The response method will depend on the material involved, the quantity released, the affected surface and whether drains, soil, bunds or other parts of the site have been contaminated.

Our team can assess the incident and determine the most appropriate clean-up and waste removal approach.

Spill Waste Removal and Disposal

Cleaning the affected area is only part of the response.

Absorbents, contaminated soil, liquids and other materials generated during the clean-up may themselves need to be treated as hazardous waste.

Wastege can arrange the collection and appropriate disposal of spill waste, helping businesses manage the incident from initial containment through to final removal.

If you are unsure how the resulting waste should be classified, our waste evaluation service can also help determine the appropriate handling and disposal route.

Bund Spill Cleaning

Bunds are designed to contain leaks and spills, but once contamination has collected inside a bund it needs to be removed before the containment area can function properly again.

Wastege provides specialist bund cleaning services for emergency incidents and planned maintenance.

Our team can remove contaminated liquids and residues, clean the affected area and arrange disposal of the resulting waste.

This can be particularly important where rainfall or additional leakage could cause the bund to overflow and spread contamination beyond the containment area.

Spill Kits and Spill Control Products

Wastege can also supply spill kits and spill control products to help businesses prepare for future incidents.

If you require absorbents, barriers or other spill response products, contact our team to discuss the materials stored on your site and the most appropriate products for your requirements.

Need some advice?

Communicate – Provide as much information as possible about the spill, including the type of material, the estimated quantity and whether anyone is at risk. This helps us send the right equipment and personnel.

Controlled – Keep unauthorised personnel away from the affected area where it is safe to do so. Shut down nearby machinery if there is any risk of contamination or further damage.

Contained – If it is safe, use spill kits or barriers to prevent the spill from spreading. Contact Wastege immediately so we can respond quickly and minimise environmental impact.

If you require any spill products, please contact our team at sales@wastege.com to discuss your requirements and place an order.
