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.

I am so grateful to Nick for all his help when my oil tank had a leak. I haven't used Tincknells in the past but couldn't get any help from my usual oil supplier. Although they were already very busy, Nick arranged for Mike to visit the same day & in fact, I only had to wait for a few hours before his arrival. Mike was also really helpful, sealed the leak & promised a quote to be sent to me quickly, which it was. On the arranged day, Mike & Gary arrived promptly & did a great job, emptying out my old tank, completing the ground work, removing the old tank & installing the new one. Thank you so much guys for making a pretty stressful time much easier to deal with. I will happily recommend you to others & will be using you as my oil supplier in the future.

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.

David Wilcox has serviced my boiler foir a number of years now and it is always a pleasure to welcome him on site. He is friendly, couteous, knowledgeable and always ready to answer questions. As far as I can judge (I am not an engineer!), his work is thorough and careful, and the site is left clean and tidy. He fully explains what he does. I have absolutely no complaints with his work and the boiler always works well and efficiently after his service. Well done, David. You are a credit to the company!

We called Tincknells after discovering an oil leak. Their response was quick and covered by our service agreement. Engineer Steve Ingman identified a faulty hydraulic ram in the boiler which he replaced. He has usually carried out our annual boiler service (also covered by our service plan) in recent years and is always professional, competent, friendly and thorough, and keeps the work area clean and tidy.

We have just had a new boiler fitted and I wanted to leave my praise for the work that was done. Mike, Gary, and Jamie were prompt and very efficient in pouring the concrete pad for our new external boiler the week before the installation, and Kes, Mattie, and Cruz, who did the boiler installation, were exceptional. Clear communication, very careful, neat, and precise workmanship, and incredibly helpful -- going well above what was necessary in helping us make better use of the space and preparing for our future renovation. This was a 10/10 experience -- would happily recommend to anyone looking for a new boiler.

We moved into our new home in January 2017 and the heating system came on at odd hours with no control of the temperature either freezing or boiling despite going online to work out how to set the manual 'pin style' timer. We spoke to Tincknells about our issues, they visited assessed the situation. A quote was provided the next day clearly confirming the cost to replace the manual timer with a digital timer. The work was carried efficiently and the engineer kept our property clean and tidy. Whilst doing a service they also picked up the boiler had not been installed correctly and they rectified this, making our system safe and legal! We are now in control of the heat in our home. Fantastic and Trustworthy workmanship, will recommend them to friends and family with no hesitation.

My mother suffers from dementia and lives alone. Her boiler broke down and was condemned during a very cold snap. Nick sent someone out the same day to assess the situation and to provide a quote. Within a week the new boiler was fitted and commissioned and my mum could return to her warm home and familiar surroundings. No mess, no fuss, just as you would want it. As a very thoughtful gesture mum also received a bouquet of flowers to welcome her back home, courtesy of Tincknells. I can happily recommend this company.

The fitting of our boiler went smoothly due to the professional approach of the two fitters. We were kept fully informed of the next stage during the two days. They both worked hard, and were efficient and quiet, and did not waste time. We were most impressed and would not hesitate to recommend them. Engineers Ollie and Liam B.

Tincknells carried out an excellent job fitting our new boiler. They were tidy and polite and we now have a wonderfully warm house. Our only downside was having to wait a few weeks before they could start - but this is no doubt proof of what a great service they offer - they were fully booked by other customers.

Hi Veronica, thank you very much for you kind review and comments. I am pleased to hear we were able to restore your warm house.

During bad weather periods this can be difficult as a lot of customers are unfortunately in the same situation but we certainly do our best to fulfil all expectations. We will always try to rearrange any non urgent calls to accommodate customers to the best of our ability. I will be sure to pass on your comments to our installation team and I hope you have many years of trouble free use out of your new boiler. I do hope we can be of service to you again in the future.
