About

Tincknells serves customers across Somerset, Wiltshire, Dorset, Avon and south Gloucestershire. It’s already a well-known name in the South West, with a great reputation for integrity and customer service. Company director Rob Ormond and heating services manager Richard Beck both emphasise that Tincknells is a ‘modest’ company, concerned more with providing a good service than making a fuss about it. But its recent win could change all that.

Tincknell Heating Services is one wing of the long-established fuel business, Tincknell Fuels. ‘It’s a win for the industry,’ said Rob Ormond. ‘The fuel industry, which we’re part of, doesn’t always get the best press, but this is a really positive step.’
Winning the Which? Trusted trader of the year award and being elevated above the thousands of other businesses on the Which? Trusted Traders scheme means a lot to the company. But it’s adamant that this won’t change the way it works.

New Hot Water Cylinder

Work involved the removal of old heat storage cylinder and installation of an unvented cylinder. The old cylinder was approx. 25years old and the installation involved a considerable amount of new piping. The work was done on time and to the agreed cost. The installation team worked as a very effective team and clearly very knowledgable. Clear explanations given at the end of the installation to ensure full understanding of how the system worked.

Tincknell Heating are always very helpful. Allowing me my choice of service engineer. Olly Smart is very pleasant and efficient. He wasted no time and masked up even though I said he could take his mask of if he wished. I would stay a distance He checked all my radiators as I can no longer bleed them. (don't have the strength in my fingers!) I find their charges very fair. They are the best service engineers I've ever had. My daughter also finds this and always has them to deal with her Aga and oil fired boiler. The staff on the phone are always pleasant and helpful. Thank you, Tincknells!

Repair fault - Stuck valve which prevented water circulation

We have been with Tinknell since shortly after we moved to Dorset, ie: around 40+ years (we are in our 80's) and have always admired and been grateful for the staff, always polite and efficient and understanding and for the speedy service provided which in this case which was particulally gratifying. A second visit was speedily organised following a first and involved Liam and his associate and the problem - a stuck valve - quickly identified and corrected. The whole system was checked and was, and is currently, working well as it had been previously. The problem could not have been dealt with more effectively and speedily with humour, enthusiasm, and friendliness. Liam and we had met on a previous visit some time ago and it was like old friends meeting up. We remembered each other with pleasure... The whole organisation is a great example of how a service should be and we are so grateful. We feel valued which is a great feeling. Thank you to everyone...receptionists, organisers and engineers/electricians...

My oil AGA cooker was losing heat rapidly and was due a service. I phoned Tincknell and Pat in the office was very helpful, noting that Rob our normal engineer was working that day at a nearby property. He rang me back and said he could fit me in that afternoon. Always cheerful, he gets on with sorting out the problem and leaves no mess when he leaves. While most appointments are not always quite as quick as this one, they have invariably provided me with a reasonably fast turn around for boiler and AGA service for over 25 years.

Keith and Liam were exceptionally able and communicative in very trying circumstances. They fitted an entire gas system and boiler into an old cottage which still retained the original lead pipes throughout. They were careful to move all furniture and precious items in two bedrooms, traced the pipes under floorboards, and replaced them, leaving the rooms almost as they found them. Our boiler was over 25 years old and has been replaced by an efficient and easily workable system which we will greatly appreciate in years to come. I have nothing but admiration for their skill and the care which they took, and would not hesitate to use their company again.

A call back from Tincknells Thursday morning after our worried message the night before, led to one of their Engineers arriving before 10am, the same day. Fausto then assessed what the issue was, a pinhole leak on the internal fuel feed pipe. He carefully removed the failed pipe, made-up a like for like new replacement, re-fitted everything, then after carefully testing the final fitment, all was resolved. So, after no more than an hour, the leak was dealt with. What a professional task, carried-out by Fausto, a likeable, genuinely concerned person, who gave us considerable confidence in a job well done. A real credit to Tincknells. Brilliant team attitude. 👏 Still re-tiling and some decorating to resolve, but that will happen. Thanks from the Newton’s. 👍😎

I just want to give a great big shout out for Tincknell Heating! Our oil fired combi boiler developed a noticeable leak yesterday evening. We turned it off and left it until this morning to contact for repair, to make it easier and cheaper for all concerned. We can cope without these modern day luxuries... for a while. Tincknell's was contacted via our landlords this morning at about 9:30am and the guys were out within 2-3 hours. It's now totally fixed and we have the luxury of hot water once more. Thank you to all involved. Great service!
