After being badly let down by another company I have used this company 3 times now and will continue to use them. Easy to order, very good price, great service and drivers and, added bonus, when I phoned, the phone rang twice only and someone answered. No sitting in a queue listening to awful music for ages. A rare thing nowadays. Highly recommend.

Great to deal with
I have been using them for a number of years. The pricing is competitive and fair, even during the current crisis. Ordering is simple and efficient. I get advance notice of delivery and it always comes on the stated date. The drivers are polite and helpful, especially given that access is not easy and the tanks are quite hidden.

Thanks for your continued support over the years — it’s genuinely appreciated.
We’re pleased to hear the ordering process and deliveries are working well for you, especially given the access challenges on site. I’ll make sure your comments are passed on to the drivers too, they’ll appreciate it.
Thanks again for taking the time to leave a review.

Thank you for your review.
We’re glad we could get to you in time and keep things moving when you were running low. Prices have been a bit volatile recently, but we always aim to stay competitive, so it’s good to hear that came across.
We appreciate your custom and hope to help again next time.
An honourable supplier
When I ordered 600 litres on 4th March, the price had already risen a little, but competitive. My delivery arrived as promised 17th whilst we were away ( a pity as I always give your driver a decent tip - due to tricky access)
I half expected an Iran driven surcharge but, I was pleasantly surprised that the original price was held firm.
Thank you for your honesty

Thank you for your kind review.
We’re really pleased everything went smoothly and that the delivery met expectations, especially given the access. We always aim to be fair and transparent with our pricing, so it’s good to hear that was recognised.
Hopefully we’ll catch you next time so the driver doesn’t miss out!
Thanks again for your custom.

Ordered my fuel on the morning of the start of Iran bombing for delivery a week ahead and they honoured the price and didn’t try to rip me off by cancelling and charging double like some suppliers. Very impressed.

Thanks for taking the time to leave this review. We believe in honouring our commitments, especially when things get a bit… unpredictable out there. Glad we could deliver as promised and really appreciate your support.

Their prices are always better then other companies, they give you a date and time for deliveries. The driver call to let you know how long before they will arrive.

Thanks for your kind words. We work hard to keep our prices competitive and make deliveries as smooth and predictable as possible. Keeping customers informed is a big part of that, so it’s great to hear the driver updates made a difference. We really appreciate your support.
Great company to deal with
Great company to deal with. Delivered very quickly and I loved the notifications. We were told when the oil was coming with a time slot and told it had been delivered as were out. All very helpful.

We’re pleased to hear you’ve found us supportive and easy to work with. We appreciate your feedback.
Expect an Early Call
Despite writing explicit instructions on the company website where our oil tank was located the driver woke us up at 0645 asking where the oil tank was located! Not good. However the price paid for the oil was good.

Thank you for your feedback.
We’re sorry that you were disturbed early in the morning. That’s certainly not the experience we aim to provide. We do include instructions for our drivers, but on this occasion it’s clear that they weren’t followed as they should have been, and we’ll be addressing this with the delivery team to prevent it happening again.
We’re pleased you were happy with the price and appreciate you choosing us. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

We’re really pleased to hear that your deliveries have been on time and that our drivers have been courteous and helpful. We’ll be sure to pass your comments on to the team — it means a great deal to them.
We appreciate your continued custom and support.
Our delivery failed twice
Our delivery failed twice - on the Monday because apparently 'the road was blocked' and on the Wednesday because the 'lorry broke down'. When we phoned to complain explaining that we are elderly and actually had no oil we were informed that the next day delivery was 'full' and they 'would try and fit us in'. We were not happy at all with this service and asked for refund of the premium we paid for an early delivery which didn't happen - eventually oil delivered on the Thursday

Antwoord van Southern Energy
We’re very sorry for the inconvenience you experienced and understand how frustrating this situation must have been, particularly given the circumstances you describe. Unfortunately, unforeseen issues such as access problems and vehicle breakdowns can occasionally disrupt delivery schedules, but that doesn’t lessen the impact on you when you’re left without oil.
We regret that your delivery did not take place as planned and that the communication around rescheduling did not meet the standard we aim to provide. Your feedback has been noted and will be shared internally so we can improve how situations like this are handled in future.
Great company to deal with
Competitive prices. Delivery always exactly when promised and usually sooner. Delivery driver delivers quietly and goes with no fuss. Extremely pleasant and helpful if you have to phone.

It’s also great to know our office team has been helpful when you’ve needed to call. We really appreciate you taking the time to leave a review.
Great service
I have used Southern Energy (previously Local Fuels) for many years, they are always reliable and prompt in their deliveries. Their prices are in line with the competition and often the best on comparison web sites so I no longer bother looking for alternatives.
