Lincolnshire is one of the most oil-dependent counties in the East Midlands. Its vast, flat agricultural landscape - the wolds, fens and coast - contains thousands of isolated farmsteads, estate cottages and villages beyond the gas grid. The Lincolnshire Wolds AONB and Coastal areas from Skegness to Mablethorpe have the highest concentrations of oil-heated homes. Multiple national and regional suppliers compete here, which usually keeps prices close to the East Midlands average.
The average price today is 93.4p per litre for 500 litres, including delivery and 5% VAT. That is 0.4p below the current UK average, based on 8 suppliers quoting across Lincolnshire.
A 500-litre delivery in Lincolnshire costs approximately £490 today, including 5% VAT and delivery. Prices vary across suppliers, so comparing before you order can save a meaningful amount.
Suppliers serving Lincolnshire include Certas Energy, Watson Fuels, Your NRG, Goff Petroleum and others. Availability depends on your exact postcode - use the form above to compare quotes for your address.
Most Lincolnshire suppliers deliver within 3-5 working days for a standard order. Some offer express or next-day delivery for an additional charge. During cold spells, lead times extend across the board - order when your tank reaches a quarter full to avoid being caught short.
Ordering 500 litres or more unlocks better per-litre rates than a 300-litre order. Comparing multiple local suppliers on the day you want to order, avoiding emergency deliveries (which cost 8-15p per litre more) and timing your order outside peak winter demand (October-February) are the most reliable ways to reduce your fuel bill.
Very. Around 65,000 Lincolnshire homes use oil as their primary heating fuel, making it one of the top five most oil-dependent counties in England. The sheer scale of Lincolnshire's rural area - it is England's second-largest county by area - means mains gas is simply not commercially viable for many communities.
Farm deliveries often use red diesel or gas oil for non-domestic purposes, which is taxed differently to domestic kerosene. Domestic householders in Lincolnshire always pay 5% VAT on kerosene and cannot access agricultural red diesel rates. However, larger domestic orders (900+ litres) can save 3-5p per litre compared to smaller deliveries.
