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.

Installation of new oil tank, boiler service
Customer Service
Quality
Value
I had a new oil tank installed and a boiler service carried out today (30th October). I’ve been a loyal customer of Tincknells for 24 years and have always had the utmost confidence in the quality and reliability of their service. Because of this long-standing trust, I had no hesitation in asking them to undertake the installation of a new oil tank and the associated work involved. Once again, the team delivered an excellent job — professional, efficient, and courteous throughout. I’d like to take this opportunity to thank the entire team for their outstanding service today. They are a credit to the company, and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Tincknells to anyone looking for a trustworthy and dependable service provider. The workmen on site were exceptional, and I would kindly ask management to personally recognise their efforts — they truly do a fantastic job.

Our radiators w3ere heating up well but the boiler was hot heating the water that comes from the taps. It was cold to wash with unless we turned on the immersion heater. He went up into our loft and found that lime scale in the pipes up in the loft had blocked the pipes. When scraped away, the water was hot,.

We used Tincknells to install a new boiler and hot water cylinder. Their quotation was competitive with others we received and totally clear as to the product and service they would provide. They arrived exactly when they said they would, were professional, friendly, courteous, tidy and worked late on the Friday evening to complete the job. They obviously knew exactly what they were doing and resolved a couple of minor glitches promptly first thing on Monday morning. We cannot recommend them too highly. We already get our heating oil from them and would not hesitate to use them for any other heating installation.

We contacted Tincknells for advice regarding a noisy condensing oil boiler. Two other engineers had failed to find a solution but Lee came up with the perfect solution within minutes. He refused to accept any payment for this service. We were very impressed with his professional knowledge and manner.
