In these difficult times of price fluctuations Certas are getting more and more difficult to get a price from. When the Gulf situation started I was charged £141.06 a litre plus vat. Way over other suppliers in the Brecon area. I have been with the same supplier since July 2002 up to the present day and that is Certas and its previous companies. Loyalty…?

I give 5 stars due to the quality of the delivery. Drivers are always very positive, nothing is a problem even though I am mid terrace and the pipe has to go though my next door neighbour and over a wall.

Excellent service

I was informed the day before the delivery that it was about to come and it came at the time I was given. Certas delivered on the basis of previous order patterns . In my case this was excellent as I could well have forgotten to top up had they not done so

AVOID CERTAS ENERGY SHOP AROUND

Certas energy's quote for a 1000 litre of premium oil was £1100, so I got my oil from Home fuels direct for the same oil it was £739.20, although this company is Certas Energy. So how can you charge a customer so much more if ordered from Certas energy direct which I made the mistake of doing for years and yet use the name Home fuels direct and get it from the same lorry the same staff oh and the same company so much cheaper. I only bought it as it was cheaper than all other companies, doesn't mean I will buy next time. You never know when the oil is actually being delivered, even after leaving a note saying we need to open automatic gates, turned up at 7 in the morning. If we had known the oil was coming we would have been up and waiting. At least the driver waited for 5 minutes or we would have missed it
