Rated 5 out of 5 stars

The usual high standard of service from Consols Oils. Friendly, no hassle booking and a good price. Plus, of course, the ever-friendly and efficient Jon doing the delivery. Highly recommended.

I’m pleased to say that after avery long delay when I was stressed and afraid to use what little I had during a very cold spell with family and friends here.
Also I am sure I paid an exorbitant price as the price of oil went through the roof since my order

Hi Derek,

Yes, Consols Oils is still very much in business. We’re very sorry for the lack of response — demand has been exceptionally high since the conflict in the Middle East began five weeks ago, which has affected our ability to answer calls promptly.

If there is anything you need, please email your account number and/or delivery address to feedback@consolsoils.co.uk, and we’ll investigate and respond as soon as possible.

Thank you for your patience.

Best regards,
The Consols Oils Team

The delivery driver was pleasant and chatty, even though there was abit of a wait to get the oil delivery due to world issues, the company honoured the price on day of order, so i am very happy with all.

We sincerely apologise for the inconvenience and appreciate your patience.

Very stupidly I ran out of oil!

Very stupidly I ran out of oil and had no heating, I was afraid it may take a while before I could get a delivery to Lizard but after explaining my dilemma to Sue she said she would see what she could do and phone me back. I was delighted when she said she said next day. The oil has been delivered and John the driver could not have been nicer.
Excellent friendly service, I could not be happier and will make sure I never run out of oil again.

Late delivery

Late delivery; difficult to get you to top the tank up unless I let you apply for a credit reference - never an issue before.

Hi Terry,

Thank you for your feedback. Please accept our apologies for the late delivery.

Regarding the credit reference, we only perform a credit check for customers paying via direct debit, so we’re not sure what is being referenced here. If you could email your account number and/or delivery address to feedback@consolsoils.co.uk and explain the situation in a little more detail, we will be happy to take a closer look and address it.

Kind regards,

A little disappointed

Our sensor broke and we unfortunately ran out of oil… with low temperatures and two children under 3, we purchased an emergency delivery at extra cost.
We called the next day to see if the delivery could be scheduled any sooner than 7 days away just to be told that our order hadn’t been processed yet so they couldn’t do anything to help.
We were so desperate (house dropped to 13 degrees and no hot water) that my partner purchased 100L of Consol’s forecourt directly.
Our order was then delayed by another two days and eventually arrived 9 days after we placed the order but no mention of any refund for the extra we paid for emergency delivery.
Fairly disappointed and unlikely to use again.
