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.

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. We always try our best if there is some urgency on installing a new boiler to provide a quick turn-around. 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. With warmest regards from everyone @ Tincknell Heating.

From our first enquiry about a replacement gas boiler, accumulator and hot water tank, to its completion, the planning and execution have been exemplary. The engineers have kept precisely to their proposed time scales and their work has been conducted to a very high standard, accepting inputs from us where a choice was appropriate. At the end of each day (3 days) the work area was left immaculate. Very highly satisfied.

Initial enquiry over phone extremely well handled and professional. Gave me an excellent impression of the company. Communications were brilliant from arranging initial quote to updates and booking installation. Engineers who came out were very friendly and professional. Quality product(s) installed. This company is well worth paying the money for the customer care is outstanding, along with the warranty. After dealing with a poor company previously, Tincknells are a breath of fresh air and lovely to deal with. Can't thank them enough.

I woke to find my boiler was not working. I phoned Tincknells at 9.00 and they arranged for an engineer to be with me between 11.00 and 1.00. He came at 12.00. He spent sometime checking everything and then informed me that a component on the computer board was not working. He said he had checked with the company stores and they didn’t have one so they had ordered one. It would be delivered to the company the following day. He apologised for the delay in getting my boiler working. On the following day another engineer arrived, and fitted the part. Whilst fitting it he noted that a different part had caused the computer component to blow and he changed this as well. My boiler was repaired. Throughout the whole process I was kept fully informed by office staff and the engineers about what they were doing, when they were doing it and why. I was impressed by their professionalism, effectiveness and customer service. I have no hesitation in recommending Tincknells.

I have used Tincknell Fuels for years and I wouldn't go anywhere else. When I was told nothing could be done, the manager of Tincknell was on the phone talking me through my options. I decided on Monday to have a new boiler and on the Tuesday it was installed. They offered to bring electric heaters so I wouldn't get cold. They kept their distance the whole time they were here. First Class.

From first coming to quote for the work for a new oil fired external boiler to installation Ticknells did a first class job. I particularly liked the fact that Ollie came to quote and he headed up he team of installers. Nothing was a problem, they communicated throughout the job and did a high quality installation. They were problem solvers, always polite and helpful. They came on time and cleaned up at the end of the day. They were careful to test everything and left plenty of time to ensure everything was working properly before they left. I had clear instructions on the system I am delighted with the result. Tinknells have serviced my boiler for a number of years and they are always very quick to come out if you have a failure and do not leave until they have sorted the problem. I would not go anywhere else.

From the moment I telephoned Nick Turner, things progressed rapidly. Within 2 hours Tincknell’s had sent a reprentative, and later that same afternoon a specialist team came by. Nick could not have been more helpful. An appointment was arranged for just three days later to replace my mother’s old oil tank, and the team that came did a fabulous job. Tincknells could not have reacted quicker to my mother’s predicament , and I am very grateful to all of them. What a professional and caring enterprise. I hope the Chairman reads this Thankyou.

Excellent right through from survey of works required to installation and commissioning. Old oil fired internally located boiler was removed with careful consideration for making good afterwards. External new boiler fitted and system converted from natural head to pressurised with a full system flush included. Excellent specification of works and plan for scheduling the right labour for the job. Very pleased with the on-site management during the entire process and efficient office support. The improvements in our heating & hot water efficiency and effectiveness have made the whole job well worthwhile.

Keith and Liam were exceptionally able and communicative in very trying circumstances. They fitted an entire gas system and boiler into an old cottage which still retained the original lead pipes throughout. They were careful to move all furniture and precious items in two bedrooms, traced the pipes under floorboards, and replaced them, leaving the rooms almost as they found them. Our boiler was over 25 years old and has been replaced by an efficient and easily workable system which we will greatly appreciate in years to come. I have nothing but admiration for their skill and the care which they took, and would not hesitate to use their company again.
