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.

The team arrived promptly, having carried out site surveys & answered my numerous questions before resolved the many challenges a 16th century house has, they were tidy & attentive at all times, checking up post installation as well. Wouldn't hesitate to recommend.

Our oil tank had a leak. I found it difficult to find a firm to "uplift" the oil out of the tank, replace the tank and refill. Tincknell came to the house inspected the old tank within 2 weeks all work was completed. Very pleased and would recommend to all.

Tincknells have been fantastic in resolving a problem with installing an oil tank & boiler which other contractors had failed to do for over 4 months. They worked hard, were polite, kept me fully informed and I am now the very pleased owner of a boiler & oil tank that work! I would recommend them highly & they deserve their Which report.

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 had run out of oil. I phoned at 8:30 & the oil was delivered, 14 miles by 10:00am. I have been dealing with Tincknells for 50 years (I am 93) and they have never let me down - acted promptly & efficiently. They are all very polite & helpful at all times. (I may say that this isn't the first time I've run out of oil). Highly recommended.

Very professional and efficient approach to the problems encountered during the update to our heating system. A combination of extremely hot weather and a very curious existing system was really challenging for the installation team. They tackled these problems with a great spirit and still managed to finish by the scheduled date. Everything was left shipshape and very clean. We were kept fully informed as the job progressed.

One of the main reasons I chose Tincknell Heating to replace my ageing oil-fired boiler was because it gets consistently excellent reviews on this website and is recommended by 100% of customers. The reviews mostly say the same thing: its engineers are cheerful, friendly, professional and knowledgeable; they turn up on time, work long hours and clear up when they leave; and when they give you the final invoice, they also present you with a beautiful bunch of flowers. How right they were. Keith and Liam tackled what turned out to be a tricky installation, involving a scaffolding tower and inconvenient lumps of Mendip limestone, with patience and good humour. They never stopped apologising for the disruption and were a pleasure to have around the house. They completed the job on time, carefully explained how the new system worked and reassured me that help and advice was only a phone call away. They are a credit to what is clearly a well-run, local company that deserved to win the Which? Trusted Trader of the Year award.

We have known Tincknell Fuels for 34 years and they have always given us good service. We felt it was time for a new boiler so it was Tincknell Fuels we went to. The 2 men that came to talk to us were very good especially Liam Woolley; he answered all the questions we asked him, we found him to be very knowledgeable and helpful. Liam and Steve both worked very hard and were tidy and cleared up after themselves each day. We would recommend Tincknell fuels and were delighted to to receive flowers on the last day. Thank you Tincknell for that lovely thought.

This was an annual service conducted on my central heating boiler. I found the engineer who did this service extremely thorough and very competent . My opinion has been fully justified by the fact that my heating system has never worked as satisfactorily as it does now. Furthermore the engineers manner was pleasant and helpful. He proved to be exceptionally good at his job.

This was a fairly complex job replacing an old oil fired boiler with modern Worcester Greenstar boiler. Despite having to work under Covid restrictions and at a busy operational time, Tincknell team worked very efficiently at both problem solving in my system and installation of the new boiler. Throughout, their team took time to explain what they were doing and how the new installation would work. I am very pleased that I selected Tincknell and feel that I have benefitted from their vast experience.
