North East England
Where we would start, and two alternatives worth a call. Chosen on depot location, published delivery and payment terms and accreditation. Not on price, and not on star ratings.
Where we would start
Johnston OilsWorks from a real depot at Alnwick, inside the county, and is a UKIFDA member. Decisive for rural Northumberland is its programme of 187 community oil clubs with no joining fee, no contract and no minimum order, which consolidates tanker routes across sparse ground. That buying-group mechanism is the practical reason to ring first here.
Also worth a call
WCF Fuels North West (trading name of WCF Ltd; consumer brand Allan Stobart Lubricants & Fuels)Part of WCF Ltd, the employee-owned group
Runs a Hexham depot and is the pick for west Northumberland and the uplands, with baby tankers for narrow roads and low bridges.
Family run since 1932, though it is a long haul from Harrogate.
Confidence in this pick: medium-high. That reflects how much verifiable evidence we found for this area, not how good the supplier is.
These are suggestions of where to start, not a verdict on who is cheapest today. Prices move daily and no independent per-supplier price data exists for Great Britain. Ring two or three and compare on the day. These picks are editorial and cannot be bought; the only paid position on the site is the featured card held by our affiliate partner, which is labelled as such. How we choose.
