Heating Oil Delivery FAQs
Is heating oil safe to use?
Yes, heating oil is extremely safe – in fact, it’s considered the safest type of domestic heat.
When should I order my heating oil?
We’d recommend, ordering your next top-up of heating oil once you’re down to around a quarter of a tank. However, during busy periods, it can be worth ordering earlier.
How much heating oil should I order?
The amount of heating oil you will need depends on the size of your tank, as well as how much oil you have left.
You can find out more here or speak to our team for further advice when ordering.
How long does heating oil last?
Once you’ve taken delivery of your home heating oil, the amount of time it will last for will depend on a number of factors, including the size of the tank, tank maintenance, and seasonality.
On average, however, heating oil in a residential tank will last between 18 and 24 months. Find out more here.

What is the cheapest month to buy heating oil?
Heating oil is generally cheapest between April and September as demand is low during these months.

Once you’ve received your heating oil delivery, you should ensure your tank remains turned off for at least 30 minutes to allow any sediment to settle.

We operate from our local depot network, strategically located across England and Wales and supply a comprehensive range of fuel, lubricants, and AdBlue to domestic, agricultural, commercial, and retail customers across the UK.
