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.

4 installers arrived on time, 2 to replace oil boiler and 2 to replace oil tank. The work was completed in one day and left no mess. They also fitted a replacement radiator I had at home. The work was done in a professional manner with no problems. One man returned 3 weeks later to check that all was well.

Quite how they managed it I do not know. Our boiler broke down Monday evening and a brand new boiler was up and running by Saturday lunchtime. Fantastic, and Christmas will go ahead.

From the initial survey through to final installation we found Ticknells service to be excellent. Ollie, Liam, Liam and Steve replaced our floor standing old boiler with a Combi boiler. They were friendly, efficient and very tidy. The work was completed with a minimum of disruption, to a high standard and on time. We would not hesitate to recommend Ticknells to anyone needing a replacement boiler.

I have dealt with Tincknell for 43 years since moving from London. From the start, they gave me good service and value, were very polite and I would never think about going elsewhere to another company. I am not surprised they are won a which award.

Old oil tank developed a crack, and a replacement needed. Mike & Gary arrived as arranged and got straight down to work. Work completed efficiently, within agreed estimate, and all done to an amazingly high standard. Old tank taken away and work-site tidied up--all without being asked. Extra time and care given to assess efficiency of fuel line post-installation. Updates to work progress while on-site. Nothing was too much trouble. A pleasure to deal with the installation team--so polite. Office very efficient, too, with arranging appointments and communication in general. Nothing but high praise, and no hesitation in recommending this company.

Over three days, Ollie and Jamie installed a replacement boiler and hot water tank in our house, with associated flue, controls, connections and a chemical flush, a major renewal of our heating system. This was all completed to our satisfaction, to the agreed schedule and budget. They completed the work on time, with minimal disruption and were a pleasure to have on site. They were communicative, polite, tidy and were knowledgeable about what they were doing and kept us informed of progress. From the first survey by James C, through the provision of a professional report and quote, to completion of the work by Ollie and Jamie, Tincknells have lived up to the reports that we had of them, in being good value, attentive to their customers and providing a first class result. We would recommend them to others seeking such a service.

Complete heating system refit and conversion from electric to oil

Have nothing but praise for this company. From start to finish they have been helpful, informative and completely professional. We required a complete heating system refit and conversion from electric to oil which meant moving out for 5 days. This is quite an upheaval for anyone but very traumatic for my mother who is 81. However, this company carried out pre-visits explained the whole process, their requirements prior to work starting, kept to time schedule and left the property clean and tidy. Honesty, you would not have know they had been there apart from the fact that the house was warm and there was a lovely bunch of flowers to boot. I cannot fault this companies workers or their work ethics and would highly recommend them to anyone.

Tincknells Heating engineer Keith Davey had visited previously as we had had problems with our oil heating system and he had recommended following up with alterations to our header tank pipework to correct things that were wrong. We were given a quotation and a date and time for the work to be carried out. Keith and apprentice engineer Harry Peters came on time on the appointed day and carried out the necessary procedures professionally and tidily and with minimal disruption to ourselves. They were both an absolute pleasure to deal with and we are delighted to have had this work done completely stress-free ! Thank you also to Nick Turner, Installation and Parts Manager for co-ordinating the project. We can say confidently that Tincknell Heating is an efficient, well-organised company that we would have no hesitation in recommending to prospective customers. Keith and Harry are a credit to themselves and to Tincknells !
