For households in Cornwall, Certas Energy UK Limited (Companies House number 04168225) lists domestic kerosene deliveries with a 500-litre minimum, and its stated whole-UK coverage has been verified. Head-quartered in Warrington, Cheshire, and a listed UKIFDA member, it makes a sensible starting point before working through the smaller suppliers also covering the county.
Order direct with Certas Energy on their own site, rather than through a third-party reseller that takes your order and passes it on. You get the supplier's own price, you are dealing with the company that actually delivers the oil, and there is no broker between you and the tanker. We do not take orders, handle payment or add a fee to anything you buy.
Affiliate partnership. Certas Energy pays us for this featured position. Certas Energy is our affiliate partner and pays for the featured position at the top of this page. We would rather say that plainly than let it look like an unexplained ranking. What the payment does not change is the evidence: the points above are the same verified fields we hold for all 83 suppliers. It buys this one card and nothing else - the list below is alphabetical, and no supplier can pay to be in it or to move up it. We hold no prices and no review scores, so this is not a claim that they are cheapest or best rated - always ring round the other suppliers below before you order. How we make money.
Named UK suppliers covering the Cornwall area
Cornwall's peninsula geography means it sits at the far end of most tanker delivery routes, making competitive pricing especially important. Roughly 60,000 Cornish homes use oil as their primary heating fuel, concentrated in rural parishes across West Cornwall, the Lizard and Bodmin Moor where mains gas simply does not reach. Fuel is typically brought in from depots in Plymouth and Exeter, so prices can sit 1-2p above the South West average - making comparison even more valuable here than elsewhere.
Local heating oil prices depend on how far your postcode is from the nearest fuel terminal, how far tankers travel to reach rural properties, how many suppliers compete in your area, and the size of your order - larger deliveries are cheaper per litre. Prices also move with the seasons (demand peaks in winter) and follow the global crude oil and wholesale kerosene markets, which can shift from week to week.
Compare quotes from several suppliers on the day you want to order, since prices change week to week with the wholesale market. Ordering 500 litres or more usually unlocks a better per-litre rate than a 300-litre order, and ordering outside the peak winter demand period tends to help too.

Standard deliveries typically take a few working days, and some suppliers offer faster options for an additional charge. During cold spells lead times extend across the board, so it helps to order when your tank reaches about a quarter full rather than waiting until it runs low.
Delivery costs tend to be slightly higher in Cornwall than in more central counties because tankers travel further from the main fuel depots. That said, suppliers compete for a large and loyal customer base, so shopping around usually closes most of the gap. Our price data shows Cornwall typically running 1-2p per litre above the England average.
Yes. Several Cornish parishes run community oil-buying groups that aggregate orders to secure volume discounts. The Royal Cornwall Show grounds area and many village halls host groups. If you're new to an area, ask your parish council whether a local scheme exists - savings of 3-5p per litre are common when ordering with neighbours.
