When you place your order, it usually takes between 7-10 days for your heating oil to arrive. From time to time, when demand for heating oil is very high, for example in very bad cold weather snaps, it can sometimes take a little longer. Ask your local team when you call and they will give you a delivery time and make sure you’re happy with it before you place your order. As a guide, always try and order a heating oil top up before your tank is almost empty so you don’t get caught without heating.
