What Is Domestic Heating Oil?

Domestic heating oil, often called kerosene or BS 2869 Class C2 fuel, is widely used in homes across St Ives that are not connected to mains gas. Known for its efficient burn and reliable performance, kerosene powers central heating systems and boilers throughout the area. Also referred to as 28-second oil, paraffin, or standard kero, it remains one of the most economical and dependable fuels for off-grid households.

Safe Storage & Regulations in St Ives

Heating oil tanks in St Ives must comply with UK safety standards. For tanks under 3,500 litres, requirements include durable construction, resistance to leaks, and bunding or secondary containment if needed. Fire safety rules also apply: tanks must be positioned at least 1.8 m from windows, doors, flues, and non-fire-rated boundaries. These regulations, supported by Building Regulations and OFTEC guidelines, help protect your property and the local environment.

We recommend St Ives customers arrange regular servicing and inspections to keep tanks safe, efficient, and fully compliant with regulations.
