Excellent service

I have been with Western Fuel for some 35 years. I wouldn’t go anywhere else. They have always been so helpful, from ordering on the phone to the delivery drivers. I find it reassuring to know that they are there to advise and help, which in the past has meant organising the removal of an old oil tank and placing of a new tank.

Thanks Western Fuel

Been using Western Fuel for a year now and they've been excellent. We were recommended them by the previous owner and it's made our life so easy. Having never had oil heating before, I'm so pleased western fuel have made it hassle free. I would also point out that the person on the end of the phone is always very helpful and friendly.

Western Fuel to the rescue

After being very badly let down by another company (see my other review) Western Fuel delivered my oil promptly and professionally!
I will be using them regularly from now on.

Excellent service

Ordered 600 litres of oil on 4th Feb and it was delivered only 2 days later which was much sooner than the 11th Feb delivery date. Driver rang beforehand as arranged also helped us to access. All round excellent service. Thank you

Sensibly priced, great service

We only use Western Fuel, they are always professional and deliver as planned, sometimes even earlier which is a welcome surprise. Recently we had an error on our oil reader which resulted in us unexpectedly running out, Western went out of their way in the circumstances with young children at home to fast track our delivery which was a life saver in the cold weather.

Next day delivery

I phoned in my order on Monday and it was delivered the following day. Driver was super efficient and friendly, especially as our tank is not easy to access. First class service.
