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.

Had Lee and his team round from Tincknell Heating to install a heat pump and after a week I couldn't have told you they'd been apart from we had new radiators and a warm house. The lads were so calm throughout the installation process of our new heat pump and answered all the questions we had. Any special requirements for where we wanted radiators put they adhered to. Once the work was done there wasn't a trace that they'd upgraded almost all the pipework in our property. I honestly can't recommend these guys enough. So courteous, so efficient and so reliable. Genuinely people who are amazing at their jobs. Would 100% use again and will be booking our heat pump service in with them in a years time.

Installing a new gas boiler

Tincknells have serviced our oil boilers for nearly 60 years, and have heroically kept the 40 year old boiler going seeking out ancient spare parts. When it finally expired they fitted a new gas boiler in an efficient and professional manner. Tincknells was the most competitive quotation of the three and held the price for 6 months until we were ready to go. The communication before the installation was excellent. Small touches, such as a visit by the installer the week before to explain the process, were really valued. Jamie and Liam did an exceptional job installing the boiler. They were professional and friendly and left the house clean and tidy. A potentially stressful experience was as painless as could be and we would not hesitate to recommend Tincknells. We look forward to the continued servicing of our new boiler.

The team from Tincknell Heating did an excellent job for us removing an old Rayburn and putting in a new condenser boiler. They were neat, efficient, friendly and kept us up-to-date on the work as it progressed. I don't normally give 5 star reviews as I feel they are handed out too easily but feel that this is definitely an exception. Thank you

When our trusty old boiler broke the day after getting back from out holiday I rang Tincknells, who were just fabulous from the moment I spoke to the lovely lady on the phone. Nick phoned and a date for a new boiler was arranged. On installation day, Liam and Matt arrived on time and off they went. The day was unstressful, and fun. They worked really hard, left no mess and Liam explained how everything worked. Matt is just finishing his 4 year training and was watched by two really nice men from a local college. I'm going to take out the system care plan and I can't praise Liam and Matt enough. Before they went I was given a beautiful bouquet of flowers. A fabulous experience. I would recommend this company.

Annual Service carried out at the time specified. Cheerful positive engineer. No idea of the quality of work as I am not an engineer but I am confident any after care problems would be dealt with from previous experience. My only quibble would be that the invitation to have a service and the appointment were made by email but without any reference to the cost. So if I wished to go ahead I had to ask - hence the 4 Stars. I can't really rate the quality or value of this visit until I see how the boiler performs during the year but last year there was no problem so I've given 5 stars.

Thank you so much for your glowing review, it means so much to us to see. We're really sorry that the price wasn't given to you on booking - our usual practice is to quote all our works before going ahead so we're sorry this was missing when you booked. Fingers crossed your boiler carries you through to the next service as usual, but if you do need anything from us in the meantime please don't hesitate to call us on 01749 678828.
INSTALLATION OF REPLACEMENT CENTRAL HEATING BOILER

The contract was to remove the existing Heating Boiler and replace with a new Worcester Bosch Greenstar Danesmoor Utility Oil fired Boiler over a 3 day period 19 - 21 August. The team of 2 Technicians and one Apprentice arrived on time each day and worked to their published schedule with the team leader briefing us clearly at each stage of the work. All three were well presented, polite, courteous, cooperative and considerate and dealt with all our queries and observations including some additional tasks not originally planned for. All tasks were carried out professionally and they were very tidy workers clearing up as they went along. Once installed the new boiler was tested rigorously, the full heating system was flushed and cleaned twice before draining and refilling with inhibitor and final test. Several faults with radiators were rectified, a faulty new switch unit was replaced and a new floor air grille was fitted. The Team briefed my wife & I on all the controls, new equipment and actions to take in case of failures or emergencies and the manufacturer's guarantee and Tincknell Heating support. We were provided with a full set of manufacturer's operating manuals for each piece of new equipment. At time of completion and sign off, the Team presented my wife with a flower arrangement on behalf of the company. It was a job very well done!

Another Great Service

As always Gerald arrived promptly, was pleasant and chatty, but got on with the job of servicing our Rayburn straight away. We only use the hot water side of the Rayburn, we do not use the cooker, so Gerald negotiated with the office to get a discount on our bill due to the reduced work required. All was completed in a fair and professional manner. I highly recommend Tincknell Heating for the prompt reliability and fairness of pricing.

This was the first time I had used Tinknells to service my oil fired boiler. Steve, the service engineer arrived promptly at the arranged time, and was competent and methodical in his work. The basic service was pre paid, but 3 additional items were identified as needing to be replaced. All of this was clearly explained, and the extra costs were detailed. When the work was completed the work area was left clean and tidy, and all materials were removed. The service sheet detailed the work done and showed the additional costs. A final invoice for the additional costs was received promptly.

Tincknell have been carrying out our annual boiler service for more than 20 years. During that time they have also replaced the boiler. All the engineers we have met during this time have been very professional and friendly. The young man that carried out the recent service was friendly, a good communicator and a credit to the company.

Moving into a property with a limited knowledge or experience of 'modern' heating controls I required a run down of 'what does what when'. Thanks to Tincknell, now I know!
