What Is Domestic Heating Oil?

Domestic heating oil, also called kerosene or BS 2869 Class C2 fuel, is widely used in Corby homes that are not connected to the mains gas grid. Known for its efficiency and clean burn, kerosene is ideal for boilers and central heating systems. Sometimes referred to as 28-second oil, paraffin, or standard kero, it remains one of the most economical and dependable fuels for rural and semi-rural households in Northamptonshire.

Safe Storage & Regulations in Corby

Heating oil storage in Corby must comply with UK safety regulations. For domestic tanks under 3,500 litres, requirements include durable construction, leak resistance, and bunding or secondary containment if needed. Fire safety rules also apply: tanks should be positioned at least 1.8 m from doors, windows, flues, and boundaries, and placed on a solid, non-combustible base. These regulations, supported by Building Regulations and OFTEC guidance, help protect both your property and the environment.

We recommend Corby customers schedule regular servicing and tank inspections. Preventative maintenance ensures compliance, reduces risks, and keeps heating systems running efficiently.
