LPG Suppliers Kent

Hi
We're new to the area of Tonbridge, Kent and have rented a property with LPG - never having used it before, we realise that we haven't got any details of who possible suppliers are in our area. Have tried a search on internet and come up with the usual Flogas and Calor bit because of everyone's reviews of them, we're loathe to select them if we can find a local independent supplier.

Any recommendations gratefully received!!

    Welcome to the strange world of LPG.

    If you put your postcode in http://www.uklpg.org you'll get a list of UKLPG members which will supply you. I put TN9 in - and got Calor, Flogas, BP and Avanti (formerly Shell) BUT then I remembered someone had mentioned Rose Gas as a good supplier in those parts - and also another independent had mentioned them to me. http://www.rosegas.co.uk/index.html and 01825 732 655. I hope you're in their delivery area - if so please let us know the price ... and how you get on if you use them (just add a post to the Bulk LPG ... sticky here).

    Hi
    Thanks for the information - I have sent an enquiry - our postcode of TN12 is not listed but the next village along is so you never know - I'll feedback any updates.

    Once again many thanks!

    It might also be worth giving Avanti (formerly Shell) a call as I believe they also a distribution depot at Horsham, which is just about within a sensible delivery radius (They did also have a depot at Horham, but I think that is now defunct).

    Although one of the "bigger" players, Shell probably had a better reputation than the other three (Flogas, Calor, and BP) prior to the sale of their business to Avanti last year. I think the personnel and structure largely changed over in tact and although it's early days, the signs are promising so far that things haven't changed dramatically.

    Hope this helps, and good luck.
