For new customers we recommend that you look at your tank and order a quantity above 900 Liters to benefit from a reduction in price and to reduce the road miles our tankers have to travel.
We can make you delivery while you are out provided that the driver can access to your tank. The driver will leave a copy of the delivery ticket showing how much we have delivered, many of our tankers will now give a time and date stamp as well. If you require any special instructions or which to make other arrangements please let us know when you order or give us new instructions by e-mail, post etc if you are a planned delivery customer.
We can accept payment by debit or credit card via the telephone. We also accept cheques, we would prefer cash to be delivered in person to our head office but we understand if that is not possible. We also offer direct debit either as a one off payment for your oil or our flexible payment plan which spreads the cost of your fuel over the year so that your bills are far more manageable.
