Why Choose Heating Oil Today?
We are more than just a delivery service. Led by Tim Lodge, our team understands the stress of an empty fuel tank. We combine technical expertise with a fleet designed for the geography of the South East. We are fully insured, HSE compliant, and hold an active RDCO Licence (Registered Dealer of Controlled Oils) with HM Customs & Excise.
Our Specialist Baby Tanker Fleet
Our narrow-access tankers are specifically designed for the restricted driveways and rural lanes common across East Anglia and the home counties. If a standard tanker cannot reach you, we can.
Unrivalled Speed and Reliability
We do not use subcontractors. Every delivery is handled by our own fleet and our dedicated drivers, such as Holly and Tim. By managing our own logistics, we can guarantee same-day service for orders placed before 11am.
Boiler Restart Assistance
If your system has locked out after running out of fuel, our drivers provide essential support. We offer basic maintenance and system bleeding on-site to ensure your heating is operational before we leave your property.
Seven Day Availability
Heating emergencies do not stop at the weekend. We operate from 7am to 7pm, seven days a week, providing a consistent lifeline for off-grid households and businesses.
Transparent Independent Service
As a family-run business, we pride ourselves on integrity. There are no hidden surcharges or complex contracts. The price we quote is the price you pay, backed by the personal service that national comparison sites cannot replicate.
Regional Response Centres

Pollution Prevention and Specialist Delivery
Our use of a specialist Baby Tanker fleet is a core part of our environmental strategy. By using smaller, more manoeuvrable vehicles, we significantly reduce the risk of accidental damage to narrow driveways and rural verges. Our drivers are fully trained in spill prevention and emergency response, ensuring that every delivery is as safe as it is efficient.

Heating Oil Today is a fully registered dealer with HM Revenue & Customs. This ensures that every litre of heating oil we supply is tracked and accounted for within the legal UK framework, providing you with peace of mind that your fuel is sourced and delivered through a legitimate, compliant supply chain.
Frequently Asked Questions About Heating Oil Delivery
How quickly can you deliver heating oil?
We offer a guaranteed same-day service for orders placed before 11am, and a 24-hour service for all other urgent requests across our coverage area.
Is heating oil the same as kerosene?
Yes, standard domestic heating oil is 28-second burning oil, commonly known as kerosene. We supply high-quality fuel that meets all UK standards.
Do I pay VAT on heating oil?
Domestic fuel is charged at a reduced VAT rate of 5%. Commercial users may be subject to the standard rate depending on usage volumes.
What is your minimum delivery quantity?
We cater to both emergency top-ups and full tank refills. Please contact our team for specific volume requirements in your postcode.
Can your tanker access a narrow driveway?
Our Baby Tanker fleet is designed specifically for properties with restricted access. We can navigate tight lanes and small gates that standard commercial vehicles cannot.
Do you help restart boilers after delivery?
Yes. Our drivers are experienced in bleeding fuel lines and performing basic boiler restarts to ensure your heating is working immediately after the delivery.
