"From first contact through to conclusion, Will and the Wharfedale team did a great job for us relocating/replacing a large oil tank. All appointments met and flexible on dates to suit too. All works done well, nice to deal with and very tidy. Rachel in the office is very efficient and always gets back to you if you call. Would strongly recommend."

Andrew Murtagh — Google, September 2022
★★★★★

"Great service!! I needed an oil tank moving and re-connecting. The process of booking in, receiving the quote and having the work done was easy. I'd highly recommend!"

Jordan Gibson — Google, August 2022
★★★★★

"Competitive prices and very professional staff. They were very respectful of property and clients. Highly recommend!"

Leslie Holloway — Google, July 2022
★★★★★

"We discovered Wharfedale Heating after a recommendation by our heating oil supplier. We've now used Wharfedale twice and each time we've been very impressed. Will and his staff came out to clean our external heating oil tank — I was impressed with the speed and efficiency at which they transferred the oil, cleaned the tank and got everything running smoothly. A couple of months later, they replaced our old single-skin plastic tank with a new bunded metal tank. They did a great job with the installation, sorting out a new base and removing the old tank. We most definitely recommend Wharfedale Heating & Boiler Services."
