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.

AGA and boiler service
Customer Service
Quality
Value
We have used Tincknell's for the past twenty years to service our ancient oil-fired AGA and our oil-fired boiler. We have also had them replace a radiator and install a new oil tank. Although they quoted for a new boiler, when the old one reached the end of its life, we chose a cheaper quote from a sole trader, which was not installed to the same standards Tincknell provides. We regret that. If there is an AGA or boiler breakdown, or post-service glitch, they send someone to fix it promptly. Their engineers are friendly and knowledgeable, and work cleanly and efficiently. They arrive when scheduled and deliver to price quoted. You can speak to a real person when you telephone, not a long recorded message. The person you speak to is always helpful. This local firm delivers reliable and high quality service and a personal touch. Although their rates are not cheap, you pay for quality. They have been in the heating business since 1925 - so they ensure that their engineers know their stuff. Not a cowboy amongst them! We have only once visited the store in Wells, so cannot rate their retail services.

We were left with no oil moving into a new house. Tincknell supplied oil the next day, and the engineer visited immediately afterwards to get the boiler working. Couldn't have asked for a more efficient response and the work was done very quickly. I was also impressed about how knowledgeable the engineer was, and gave me a lot of helpful advice.

Boiler and Invented Cylinder Installation

I have been using Tincknells for several years at my previous property where we had an oil fired central heating system. Tincknells did both the oil deliveries and the maintenance of the boiler and on both counts were always excellent. Consequently, on moving to a house with gas we had them replace an old boiler with a new gas system boiler and install an unvented hot water tank. On both counts they were excellent completing the work on time and always leaving everything nice and clean. Highly recommended!

Engineer called in when an oil leak was noticed in the boiler. This work is covered by our service plan. The hydraulic ram on the air flap was dripping and was replaced rapidly by the engineer. It was then noticed that there was a slight seepage from the isolation tap, which was also replaced. We have used Tinckell's for over thirty years to maintain our oil boilers. They are always reliable, friendly and courteous. Well cleaned and cleared up after work was completed,

Tincknell Heating were wonderful. They fitted our new gas fire and surround. Right from the start they were professional and helpful in advising as to what suitable gas fires/surrounds etc. would work for us and once we had picked our preference, and a price for the whole job was established, all was ordered and a date was fixed for installation. The day arrived and all went well. Great care was taken throughout the job and once the fire and surround were insitu, a tidy up was undertaken. We really can’t speak highly enough of the whole experience.

We were really impressed with Tincknells in installing our new ooo boiler. They were on time, and completed the job in a thoroughly professional way and took time out to set up/demonstrate the new Nest thermostat system. The team were really helpful from start to finish. They even left a bouquet of flowers! We are delighted with our new boiler - it is more efficient and we’ll also save £17 a month on our boiler/service plan; effectively reducing the cost of the boiler by £1400 over the 7 year guarantee. Highly recommended!

The initial phone contact with the firm (Nick Turner) was very helpful and informative and helped me make a decision on the boiler model. I was given a realistic estimate of the time schedule which was totally adhered to. The engineer who came to assess the work was again, very informative and happy to answer questions. The two you men who turned up to do the actual work were polite, considerate and very efficient. All personnel turned on on time. An unexpected hitch was the access to the outgoing flue, promptly resolved by someone from head office bringing a longer ladder! The lovely bunch of flowers at the end marked the close of a very good experience. I would recommend this (local) firm to anyone
