Will definitely be using WF again

I was out when your driver delivered the oil, but they followed the instructions and left everything as asked. It is the first time I have dealt with Western Fuel directly. I will definitely be using them again. Efficient, polite and all at a great price. Thank you.

Boiler break down

Our boiler broke down on Monday 31st March whilst my husband was away and I had my 81 year old mother staying with me. We live in a 300 year old cottage, which can get really cold at night! Western Fuel called and managed to get Harry out that same day! Amazing!
Unfortunately I had to go to work that afternoon and had to leave my mother to look after everything.
She wanted me to leave feedback on her behalf as she found Harry to be very polite helpful and very informative on his visit and treated her with the utmost respect, Having to leave an 81 year old lady with a 'call out person' could have been very daunting and worrying for her, but she felt very safe at all times and really appreciated Harrys helpfulness.
He managed to get a part that was required the following day and all was sorted!! Can't thank Harry and Western Fuels enough...they are very lucky to have such a 'helpful young man'. Please pass our gratitude on to Harry.

Excellent service and prices

Excellent service and prices. Used to order from boiler juice and usually had Western. Better to order direct as usually better price. Ordered Thursday expected next Wednesday but arrived Saturday!

Excellent service from Western Fuels

Having been let down by our previous supplier they repeatedly moved their delivery date forward until we ran out of oil I phoned Western Fuels and the lady I spoke to was extremely friendly and helpful and said that she could arrange a delivery the next day This arrived at 9.00am by a very friendly delivery driver I cannot fault the service and we will use Western Fuels for all our future oil requirements Peter Jackson

Spoke to Rowan on Wednesday say I'd been a muppet and ran out of oil - he apologised to say they couldn't do a same day delivery but oil delivered at 8am on Thursdsy - what a brilliant service and much cheaper than boiler juice as well

Thanks to all at Western Fuel for your excellent (as usual) customer service, much appreciated.

Great service, great price

We use Westernfuel for our regular top-ups on heating oil, after being quoted a delivery date of the 4th of April, they delivered yesterday, after only ordered 2 working days prior. Great Price, great service! the only improvement I could recommend, is give the customer a heads up on the delivery date, luckily I was home by chance!

Helpful and reliable

We have been using Western Fuels for a while and have always found them super helpful and efficient. A faulty gauge led to running out of heating oil. A short notice delivery was arranged for the following morning but I was also able to visit the local depot at Taunton and purchase a 20 litre container of oil to get the boiler back up and running immediately. Depot staff and delivery drivers have always friendly and helpful! Thank you.

Outstanding Boiler Service

Had someone come out to do a boiler service today, they were very thorough. He identified and fixed some issues and advised to keep an eye out for other potential issues.

Outstanding service.
