It was almost perfect, but there is an important detail to be added to the delivery process. A time window needs to be added to the date, which the office does have as I found out when I rang them. I... See more

Process was easy from ordering to the oil being delivered. Staff were friendly but efficient
Poor customer service.
I have been owed a refund of over £650 since mid Feb 26, and despite numerous emails and telephone calls to resolve it, it is still outstanding. Now, nearly 2 months on, despite assurances of impending payment I have yet to receive either the refund or any correspondence explaining the situation.

Always helpful on the telephone .Delivery on time as usual. Slight petroleum spillage which the driver cleared up wiping down the tank.

Fuel delivered on time and very early in the morning. Next time please close the padlock on the tank! otherwise there is a great risk of the fuel being stolen!!
price gouging and terrible customer service
terrible customer service and price gouging. they are taking advantage of the current situation in the middle east. since my last delivery the cost of crude oil on the market has risen by approx 55%. the price per litre of the heating oil they are charging has gone by over 80%. after they failed to deliver, i went to another local supplier who are charging 10p less per liter than Watsons Fuels.

Easy to order and good quick service on the day stated. I have had the service for over 20 years and always first class.
Competitive pricing
Competitive pricing, give you a delivery date and some times a time of delivery.
However the 'online' systems have been down and unusable for some time now and need to be look at and working ones again as a matter of priority.

They deliver heating oil
On the whole a good company to buy heating oil from at a reasonable cost. Only issue with them is that we have to wait until a ‘baby’ tanker is available to deliver the oil. Maybe they should invest in more small tankers given the area they serve.
Overall experience is good.
Overall experience is good with a decent website but let down by not being informed when the delivery was actually going to be.

Efficient and quick delivery
reliable and punctual.Great service.
Poor pricing service for quotes.
Every time I order I have to challenge the price as I’ve had quotes cheaper. The price is then adjusted. As a longtime account holder I expect the quoted price to be the best on offer and not to have to check every time with other quotes. Poor service from office staff but excellent from the delivery drivers.
