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.

We had been having problems withy our boiler and this was the 3rd callout. Service due in a fortnight`s time was rescheduled. Promptly attended to by a young employee who went beyond his call of duty to be helpful and answer my questions. He was polite and efficient and both he and myself spoke highly of Tincknells both as employer and for excellent customer service. I have been a customer for decades and as a company they have never failed me. I always recommend them to friends and anyone who asks for a heating engineer. Excellent. Long may it continue.

This visit was a standard half yearly service and inspection of our oil fired Aga. We saw our usual engineer who more often than not services our Aga and Worcester Bosch central heating boiler. He arrived within the promised time frame and the work was carried out with his usual expertise and efficiency. As always he took great care to leave everywhere clean and tidy and was cheery and friendly throughout. A job well done with minimal fuss and inconvenience.

Tincknell Fuels Ltd., installed our boiler in 2002 and have serviced it every year. Their engineers are always polite and professional. Likewise the office staff are also helpful when dealing with any issues we have with the system or when arranging fuel deliveries. I would recommend Tincknells for their good service and quality workmanship.

Our engineer arrrived on time and completed the servicing of the boiler swiftly and competently. Ours is a good old Trianco boiler that “experts” say should be replaced with a combi one. All of our engineers know better!

A Nightmare Experience: Tinknells' Appalling Treatment and Negligence with our Stanley Boiler/Cooker
Customer Service

I want to express my deep disappointment and disgust with the way Tinknells has treated us. Following the engineer's visit, during which they fitted a new jet and bled the system, we immediately noticed a strong smell of kerosene. The engineer returned and claimed it was more likely to be carbon monoxide. We took matters into our own hands and discovered a leaking hose. We endured multiple visits from different engineers attempting to fix various problems, including the persistent leaks. This continued throughout the Christmas period, while we were subjected to a nauseating smell of kerosene that permeated our home. We lost count of the numerous times we had to contact Tinknells, yet we received no apology from the company, despite their engineers being responsible for the initial problem. Their lack of care and consideration towards us has left us feeling deeply let down. The situation persisted for approximately two months until an environmental consultant finally arrived and discovered that the leak had spread beneath the lino and into the skirting. Only then did the process of extracting the smell and replacing the damaged areas begin. We endured a total of 18 working days of disruptions due to engineers and environmental consultants visiting our property, while we spent 3 months living in an environment tainted by a horrific smell. We feel compelled to warn others about the appalling experience we endured with Tinknells. No customer should have to go through this.

I have used Tincknell's to service my boiler for the last 50 years and never had cause for doubt about the quality of the work. Our current engineer is very friendly and leaves the work area clean. This was a routine service with no unexpected costs. If something goes wrong and a repair is needed, I know Tincknell's will do their utmost to fix it promptly. In short, I am happy to recommend this company.

Tincknell Heating, with whom I have a 'Breakdown Plan', have carried out services and repairs on my boiler and central heating for many years to the highest of standards. In early May I had a problem which I reported. An engineer arrived the same day, inspected the system, diagnosed the problem and identified the need for a replacement actuator. The following day another engineer arrived, fitted the part and inspected the system which then revealed a quite separate issue that required a replacement pump that was ordered immediately from the supplier. Although it took several days to arrive at Tincknells this was not an inconvenience and on 9th May an engineer and then an electrician attended, fitted the new part and ensured our system was working faultlessly. Once again Tincknell Heating engineers, electricians and clerical staff demonstrated that, at all levels, they are thoroughly professional, efficient and reliable and that they are totally committed to customer care and speed of action. In short they are a credit to a company that provides such a reliable service – this I find to be so reassuring in an age where such reliability is often in short supply. I have no hesitation therefore in recommending this company to others who may have similar requirements.
