We’re very sorry to read this review and for the upset caused. After a full internal investigation, we’re satisfied that our team acted quickly and responsibly once the delivery issue was identified.
As soon as we became aware of the mistake, we offered to remove the oil from your bund the very next working day. Unfortunately, we were informed that we could not return to the property until you returned from holiday, which delayed the clean-up.
You later advised that the removal would cost £500, however after speaking directly with your heating engineer, we were quoted £200 for the same service. At no point did either Patterson Oil or BoilerJuice refuse a refund — in fact, we confirmed the reimbursement for the oil and your plumber’s costs once details were verified.
Throughout the process, communication proved difficult, with several calls and messages going unanswered. This review has also been edited multiple times, with the narritive being changed, each time alerting our team.
At Patterson Oil, we always strive to do the right thing by our customers. The vast majority of our deliveries go smoothly, and we take great pride in providing a reliable, friendly, and customer-focused service across all our depots.
On this occasion, given the challenges faced and the breakdown in communication, we have chosen not to continue supplying this customer. However, we want to reassure our many loyal customers that when issues do arise, we take full responsibility and work hard to resolve them quickly and fairly.
