South 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
Nolan Oils (Nolan Group)The clearest case in the South East of local beating big, restricting itself to three counties so the tight radius buys the service. It commits to guaranteed next-day for regular customers, same-day if ordered before noon, and a separate published out-of-hours emergency number that almost no supplier offers, alongside a budget account and a premium kerosene for Aga and Rayburn. For rural Oxfordshire, where a missed delivery means a cold house, that response time is what counts.
Also worth a call
Barton PetroleumThe compliance-first choice, marketing Oxfordshire across many named towns as a UKIFDA member with a published cold-weather priority policy; send here if that priority scheme matters.
Also worth a call
CPS FuelsPart of George J. Goff Limited (company 00544115), which holds 75%+ of the shares and voting rights
Reaches the county from its Theale depot; part of the George J. Goff group.
Nolan is FPS-approved but does not state a cold-weather priority policy, so send households who need that to Barton.
Confidence in this pick: medium. 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.
