All Gassed Up.

Great, user friendly website, with excellent prices and quick delivery.
Even with the £5 delivery charge, it was still cheaper than going to one of the local stockists.....Would definitely recommend...👍

Ongoing LPG tank health and safety concerns

I appreciate the response from Gary. However, the matter remains unresolved.
Today, I received a copy of a tank inspection report for the 7th of August. However, on checking the report this is not of our property, nor the correct homeowner name. Unbelievable!

Hi Ian.

I'm unsure as to how this has occurred, however, please accept my apologies.

After receiving your complaint into Customer Care I instantly raised this with the Engineering Team as the questions you required answering can only be answered by that department.

I've now gone direct to the Team Leader who's advised me that she'll be looking into this for you.

Trying to exchange a 13kg Patio Gas cylinder in Cheshire has been an absolute joke. I've visited 10 different Calor stockists, and not one of them had a replacement cylinder available. Even more frustrating, none of the retailers could tell me when they were expecting another delivery.
Calor's website states that replacement cylinders have been restricted since May 2026. That raises the obvious question: has nobody planned for the peak summer barbecue season?
Customers have invested in Calor cylinders and appliances, yet when the time comes to exchange an empty bottle, there appears to be no stock, no information, and no timescale for when supplies will return.
The lack of communication is almost as disappointing as the shortage itself. If supply issues are going to continue for months, at least provide customers and stockists with realistic updates so people aren't wasting time and fuel driving from one supplier to another.
Very poor planning and an even poorer customer experience.
Thank you for your reply Gary however i did try your bottle shop and it wouldnt let me order a 13 kg cylinder patio cylinder, I could order a 5kg cylinder, but the advise on your web sites suggest you can only replace like with like, and therefore this would have meant purchasing a new cylinder! You also mention that seasonal demand is an issue, but summer always happens, it shouldn't be a surprise! And this is not the first time there been a shortage of cylinders during the summer. You also mention there has been communication, but there is nothing obvious on your website which would be the logical place to put the notice. Plus your stockist aslo appear to be unaware of what is going on with cylinder delivery / avaiablility.

Hi,

I can certainly understand the frustration caused by the limited availability, however, it is important to recognise that seasonal supply and demand can place additional pressure on cylinder availability during the peak summer period.

While the shortage is understandably frustrating, it is therefore not quite accurate to say that there has been no communication from Calor. The supply issue has been openly acknowledged, and customers have been provided with information and guidance regarding the situation.

To combat the current supply issue, Calor has asked customers to return any cylinders they no longer need, so that these can be inspected, refilled and put back into circulation to help improve availability.

Regarding 13kg bottles, despite limited cylinder availibility, they are still available on Calor’s Online Bottle Shop, so my advice is to check there.

calor gas retailer

We are calor gas retailers.
I tried to place an order over the phone, we usually speak to our local depot but on this occasion i got directed through to head office.
Rachel needs some training on answering calls from retailers!
I surprised she didn’t want to know my height!! She asked every other detail about me and the company I work for, we have an account with calor (only been using them for 25+ years) so I’m not sure why she needed quite so many details.
The local depot we usually speak to, ask postcode/account number and name of the company. Not Rachel - she wanted everything!! Then tried to accuse me of being rude when I asked what her name was. She told me the calls were recorded (good- then her manager can listen back) I asked to speak to the manager about her and she told me no one was able to speak to me and she’d get someone to call me back within 48hrs
This was 2 weeks ago and still no call back. (strange that!)

I’ve since spoken to the local depot who have informed me the order wasn’t even put on the system correctly, all in all - useless.

Hi Bob,

Please accept my apologies for what you consider to be poor customer service from one of team.

Manager callbacks are meant to be actioned within 48 hours, so it's disappointing to hear that this has not occurred.

I've requested your details so that I can look into this for you.

Delivery difficulties

We've always had excellent, reliable service from Truro office, but having to place order and deal with the Exeter team this experience has been far from good. The delivery did not turn up on the specified day (which was over a week after ordering). Had to chase, told it would be on the Friday - didn't turn up. When chased again on Monday was told that it was on for Friday but was then taken off. Could not give another day but said they would get Truro office to phone. Truro called and assured me the delivery would be on following Wednesday - over two weeks since the cylinders ran out. If this was in the Winter it could have been a real problem. The chap who delivered was very good.

Hi,

Please accept my apologies for the issues regarding your recent delivery.

As ylu can likley appreciate, seasonal supply and demand for gas can affect certain stock, however, you should have been kept up to date by the CDC and not required to chase the delivery.

Fire Damaged Butane Cylinder

Contacted Danny (Mulloy) with an issue we had disposing of a fire damaged Butane Gas cylinder. He couldn't have been more helpful. He was polite, professional and had the problem sorted within a couple of hours. Excellent service from a top man.

We would like to thank Michael from Calor for carrying out work outside our clinic today.

From the moment he arrived, Michael was extremely polite, courteous and friendly. He introduced himself and took the time to clearly explain the work that was going to be carried out. He was professional throughout and kept us informed, including letting us know once the work had been completed.

It was a pleasure to have Michael on site, and we really appreciated his professionalism and excellent customer service.

Many thanks, Michael, and thank you to Calor.

Calor engineer visit.

Phil Deans from Calor popped in yesterday to identify and repair a telemetry error with our underground tank.
I have to say Phil was extremely easy to talk too and clearly knew what he was about to embark upon.
He worked away on the fault for several minutes, the next thing we knew he was ringing the door bell informing us his work was complete and our tank was communicating again.
He left our premises just as he found them, we cannot tell he has been.
He was the perfect engineer and will be welcome back anytime, well done Phil a nice professional job.
