Certas Energy (Companies House 04168225) covers Dorset as part of its verified UK-wide delivery area, and is a UKIFDA member with its head office in Warrington, Cheshire. It supplies domestic kerosene on a 500-litre minimum order, making it a sensible starting point before working through smaller suppliers covering the area.
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 Dorset area
Dorset has a significant off-grid population, particularly in its rural parishes and coastal villages where the mains gas network does not reach. Many of the older properties across the South West region - stone farmhouses, listed cottages and barn conversions - were built long before gas infrastructure arrived and continue to rely on oil as their primary heating fuel. Comparing suppliers is the most effective way to manage costs in this competitive market.
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.
Yes. Dorset has a significant number of rural properties beyond the mains gas network that rely on oil as their primary heating fuel. This is particularly true in older farming villages, estate properties and countryside homes built before modern gas infrastructure existed.
Compare quotes from at least three suppliers on the day you want to order - prices can move several pence per litre week to week based on global crude oil movements. Ordering a larger volume (500L or 900L instead of 300L) and timing your order for spring or summer can also reduce the price per litre.
