Certas Energy UK Limited (04168225) covers Kent within its verified UK-wide delivery area, supplying domestic kerosene to households with a 500-litre minimum order. With its head office in Warrington, Cheshire, and as a listed UKIFDA member, it is a sensible starting point before checking smaller suppliers 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 Kent area
Kent's oil market is shaped by its geography: while urban centres like Maidstone, Canterbury and Medway are fully gassed, the Weald of Kent, Romney Marsh and remote high-ground villages around the North Downs contain many thousands of older properties that were built before the gas grid reached rural areas. Proximity to London tends to push prices slightly above the national average as land and operating costs for local depots are higher, but good competition among suppliers keeps the premium modest.
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.
The Weald of Kent - particularly areas around Tenterden, Cranbrook and Headcorn - and Romney Marsh have the highest off-grid concentrations. Many oast houses, farmhouses and estate cottages in these areas have never been connected to mains gas. The Thanet coast and parts of East Kent also have pockets of oil-heated properties.
Kent and the wider South East typically sit 1-3p per litre above the Midlands and North, partly reflecting higher operational costs in the region. This gap is worth shopping around to close - our price data shows 3-5p variation between suppliers on the same day in the same Kent postcode area.
