Western Fuel

Western Fuel began in 1985 as a local heating-oil distributor in Somerset. Craig and Angela Lamont started with one tanker under the name Western Counties Fuel Oils; the company adopted its current name in 1998. From its regional roots, it expanded across southwest England and now serves homes, farms, and commercial customers with fuel supply and related services.

Its fuel range includes kerosene for home heating as well as fuels for commercial and agricultural use. The company also lists engine oil, gear oil, and lubricants. Online orders start with a UK postal code, the quantity in liters, fuel type, and tanker size. The form is used to request a delivery quote, while the team handles questions by phone and email.

Logistics are a visible part of the operation. Western Fuel reports a fleet of more than 26 tankers and several regional depots, a setup designed to serve both towns and rural parts of southwest England. The company offers scheduled deliveries and emergency options when a customer runs low sooner than expected; it says more than 92% of orders arrive within 24 hours.

The work goes beyond fuel delivery. The team services oil boilers, replaces and maintains fuel tanks, and offers automatic top-ups for customers who prefer not to place repeat orders. The company also mentions direct debit payments. For tank replacement and support, the website describes its team as OFTEC-qualified, referencing the UK’s professional body for the oil-heating industry.

Western Fuel’s history describes growth from a one-tanker operation to a fleet of 26 vehicles and more than 50 employees in 2025. The company attributes that expansion to new depots and a digital platform introduced in recent years. The result is a service that combines an online quote tool with local staff, tanker delivery, and help with heating equipment.

The contact page identifies its head office at Oaktree Business Centre, Bristol Road, Highbridge, Somerset, TA9 4HA, and a Taunton depot on Cornishway North, Taunton, Somerset, TA1 5LY. It also lists the Bridgwater depot under the same Highbridge address as the head office, so that entry is best read as a shared operational reference rather than a second postal location. The company began in Taunton, although its current published head office is in Highbridge.

With weekday office hours and phone support during that period, Western Fuel links fuel purchases with maintenance that often calls for more than a one-time delivery. Its profile brings together residential, agricultural, and commercial supply, order estimates based on liters, emergency delivery, and support for boilers and tanks. That combination explains how the company can serve both a rural home and a business that depends on fuel.
