FAQs

Delivery times depend on our time of year but are typically 2-4 working days unless specified elsewhere, we also offer a next day delivery service. We will always give you a call or text to arrange a date and time as we want to make sure it is convenient for you.

Logs need to be dried before they are burnt; if they aren’t, the extra moisture must be dried off by the fire, wasting precious heat energy. Additionally, wet firewood releases harmful toxins that can build up in your appliance increasing the risk of a fire. These toxins also escape into the atmosphere and are detrimental to environmental and human health. Kiln-dried logs are far more efficient, burning hotter and longer while producing less smoke. Ours are guaranteed below 18% moisture and carry the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ certification – ideal for homes with log burners or open fireplaces.

We are delighted to be certified by the Woodsure ‘Ready to Burn’ scheme. They are the only certification scheme in the UK that rigorously checks that wood fuel producers produce and supply wood fuel to the correct standard. Not only do their rigorous standards contribute to the reduction of air pollution, they also act to protect your appliance from unnecessary damage. To learn more about this worthwhile scheme, visit https://woodsure.co.uk/.

This depends on the size of your burner. Our standard size is 10 inch, but we offer a range of sizes from small to large in length, as well as chunky or skinny logs so you have five sizes to choose from. If unsure, check your stove manual or give our friendly team a call and we’ll help you choose the right size.

The vast majority of our wood comes from within the UK. Many of our logs are sourced from managed woodland across Bedfordshire and other surrounding counties and dried on our local site. Your logs could have come from just a few miles outside of Bedford! By sourcing and drying our logs locally, we reduce unnecessary transport and support responsible forestry, helping to preserve the local countryside.

Yes, you can burn logs, however, Bedford is currently in a smoke control zone. You can use a log burner or open fire. Just be sure to burn kiln-dried wood, like ours, which meets all the requirements for clean, efficient burning. It’s always a good idea to check the Bedford Borough Council – Central Bedfordshire Website for any rules or updates.

Fun Facts…. Bedford’s Historic Connection to Wood and Fire

Wood: Ancient Woodland And Industrial Use

Domesday-era woodlands: Medieval Bedfordshire was heavily forested, over 25,000 acres supporting pig grazing (for acorns) and settlements in Wootton, Oakley, Willington, and more.

Ancient woods still preserved: Notable sites like Putnoe Wood (recorded in Domesday) and Odell Great Wood feature oak, ash, maple, and coppiced hazel, relics of age-old woodland management. Putnoe Wood is now a Local Nature Reserve, cared for by volunteers.

Royal Forest Lands: Areas like Bedford Purlieus were once part of the expansive Forest of Rockingham, falling under medieval forest laws and royal hunting rights.

Fire: Brigades, Big Blazes, and Community Response

Volunteer Fire Brigade (c. 1869–1870)
• Bedford’s Volunteer Fire Brigade was established by 1869–1870. In 1888, the brigade moved into a new Engine House on Mill Street with a full-time engineer.
• Walter Norman Mead exemplified the brigade’s dedication: he joined in 1892, served over 35 years, won championships operating steam pumps, and earned medals for both peacetime and WWII service.

Infrastructure and Professionalisation
• In 1880, the brigade moved into a purpose-built Volunteer Fire Brigade House on Mill Street, with twenty men and a resident engineer.
• Responsibility transferred to the Bedford Borough Council in 1919, and later merged into the National Fire Service (1941), before forming part of the county fire service in 1947.

Significant Fires & Regional Response
• Potton fire, 1878: A large-scale blaze required brigade assistance from Biggleswade and Sandy, with over a quarter-mile of hose relaying water, a feat of coordination.
• Odell Castle fire: Bedford brigade joined with Rushden to save parts of the historic castle, risking their lives amid collapsing masonry and towering flames.
• Meppershall fire, 1899: Thatched barns and cottages were consumed after a threshing engine sparked a devastating blaze, with embers blown miles away.

Wood & Fire Together: Industrial Hazards
Many fires intertwined wood and industry:
• Steam engines used for milling or threshing were common ignition sources, as in Meppershall’s blaze.
• Private fire brigades were part of large factories (e.g., W. H. Allen’s, Peak Frean’s), working alongside the town brigade.

Summary
• Wood: Bedfordshire’s landscape was shaped by medieval forests, ancient woodlands (Putnoe, Odell), and forest laws.
• Fire: The community developed organized fire response from mid-19th-century volunteer brigades to a formalized professional service.
• Legacy: Notable fires—from rural conflagrations to castle blazes—spurred regional cooperation and infrastructure improvements.
• Continuity: Wood fuel, industrial steam, and technological evolution all connected the medieval to the modern in Bedford’s history with wood and fire.
