Ordering Firewood to Leicester in Three Simple Steps

Ordering online is straightforward:

1. Choose your firewood
   Select the product, log size, options and quantity that suit your fire and storage space, then add them to your basket.
2. Enter your Leicester or Leicestershire delivery address
   At checkout you can review the delivery options and charges available for your particular order. Eligible pallet deliveries also allow you to choose from the available delivery dates.
3. Check your order and pay online
   Review the products, delivery details and total before completing payment.

Smaller orders and larger palletised deliveries are handled differently, so take a look at our delivery information if you are unsure what to expect.

Logs for Sale with Delivery Across Leicestershire – Choose the Right Load for Your Fire

Not every customer needs the same amount of firewood.

If you only light your stove or open fire occasionally, a smaller box or a few bags of logs may be easier to handle and store.

If your wood burner is used regularly through autumn and winter, a larger order such as a bulk bag, pallet of bagged logs or crate can reduce the need to keep topping up your supply.

When comparing quantities, do not rely on the outside dimensions of the packaging alone. A loose-filled bulk bag naturally contains gaps between individual logs, whereas logs packed into a crate can be stacked much more tightly.

Our firewood volume comparison chart makes it easier to compare the different formats before ordering.

Firewood Delivered to Leicester, Loughborough, Market Harborough & Beyond

We deliver firewood to Leicester and throughout Leicestershire, including major towns such as Loughborough, Market Harborough, Hinckley, Coalville, Melton Mowbray, Lutterworth and the many smaller villages and rural communities around them.

Leicestershire has a particularly varied mix of locations. A delivery in central Leicester can present very different access considerations from a property outside Melton Mowbray, Market Harborough or one of the county’s smaller villages.

Smaller parcel quantities can therefore be useful where storage or vehicle access is limited, while customers with suitable space may prefer larger bulk firewood orders.

For pallet deliveries, think about access before ordering. A large delivery vehicle needs to reach the property safely, while the pallet itself generally needs a firm, level surface suitable for a pallet truck.

If your property is reached by a narrow country lane, has a steep drive or has gravel, grass or another difficult unloading surface, it is worth checking the delivery guidance first.

Kiln-Dried Logs for Leicester Wood Burners, Fires & Stoves

Kiln drying reduces the moisture content of the wood so that the logs are ready to burn when they arrive, provided they are subsequently stored correctly.

FirewoodFund’s kiln-dried range includes different species, quantities and sourcing options depending on the individual product.

You can browse the wider kiln-dried logs range, including individual species such as:

• Kiln-dried ash logs
• Kiln-dried beech logs
• Kiln-dried birch logs
• Kiln-dried oak logs

FirewoodFund supplies both British and European-sourced products, depending on the particular logs selected.

If buying British firewood is important to you, browse our dedicated British logs range rather than assuming every product has the same origin.

Burning Wood in Leicester? Check the Smoke Control Rules

Leicester city is within a Smoke Control Area.

That does not mean wood burning is prohibited, but it does mean you need to make sure the way you burn wood complies with the applicable smoke-control rules.

Kiln-dried or Ready to Burn firewood is not automatically suitable for every fireplace or appliance simply because it is dry. In a Smoke Control Area, wood generally needs to be burned in an appropriate exempt appliance where required.

If you live within Leicester city, check the current local authority guidance and your stove or appliance manufacturer’s instructions before burning wood.

Customers elsewhere in Leicestershire should check the requirements that apply to their own address, as rules can differ between local authority areas.

Which Log Size Should You Choose?

Before ordering, check the maximum log dimensions recommended by your stove or fireplace manufacturer.

Our regular small logs are approximately 25cm long, with a tolerance of around ±10%. They are typically approximately 5–15cm in diameter, again allowing for natural variation.

For larger fireboxes, selected large logs are approximately 35cm long and typically around 8–20cm in diameter, with approximately ±10% tolerance.

A larger log is not necessarily the better choice. What matters is that the firewood fits comfortably within your appliance and can be arranged correctly for safe, efficient burning.

If you mainly burn logs in a stove, our guide to logs for wood burners provides further help when choosing size, species and quantity.

Bulk Logs for Sale – Compare Volume, Storage & Handling

Buying a larger quantity can make sense if you burn regularly and have somewhere suitable to store the logs.

However, a bulk bag of firewood should not automatically be treated as a “tonne of logs”. Firewood quantities vary according to species, moisture content, individual log dimensions and how tightly the wood is packed.

Volume is usually a more useful way to compare different formats.

Loose logs naturally contain more air gaps than tightly stacked logs, which is why two packages with similar external dimensions may not contain the same usable amount of firewood.

Use our volume comparison chart when comparing bulk bags, barrow bags, pallets and crates.

Think about handling as well as value. A larger delivery may offer the quantity you want, but smaller bags can be easier to move from the unloading point to your log store.

Parcel Delivery or Pallet Delivery?

The delivery method depends on what you order.

Smaller qualifying products can be dispatched using a parcel courier, while bulk bags, crates and larger quantities are normally delivered on a pallet.

For eligible pallet orders, available delivery dates can be selected during the ordering process.

Pallet deliveries usually involve a tail-lift vehicle and a pallet truck. The driver needs a safe place to unload, and moving the pallet after unloading depends heavily on the surface and access available.

A smooth, firm and level surface is considerably easier for a pallet truck than gravel, loose stone, grass or a steep gradient.

Delivery should therefore not be confused with guaranteed placement inside a garage, garden or log store.

If you have any concerns about access at your Leicester or Leicestershire address, please contact FirewoodFund before placing a large order.

Keep Your Kiln-Dried Logs Dry After Delivery

Good storage helps protect the work already done during kiln drying.

Keep firewood raised away from consistently damp ground and protect it from prolonged rainfall while allowing air to circulate around the stack.

A ventilated log store with a roof is ideal. If you use a cover, avoid completely wrapping the logs in an impermeable sheet where trapped moisture cannot escape.

If you are moving from occasional bags to a bulk order, measure your available storage space before buying. A full crate or bulk bag represents considerably more firewood than a small top-up order.

Every Online Order Supports UK Tree Planting

FirewoodFund donates money towards tree planting in the UK for every order placed online.

It is built into what we do: when customers order their firewood, part of that activity also helps support further tree planting within the UK.

You can find out more about the initiative and how it works on our tree-planting page.

Leicester & Leicestershire Firewood FAQs

Do you deliver firewood throughout Leicestershire?

Yes. FirewoodFund is an online firewood retailer delivering to Leicester and locations throughout Leicestershire, including Loughborough, Market Harborough, Melton Mowbray, Hinckley, Coalville and many surrounding villages.

Enter your address during checkout to see the delivery options available for the products in your basket.

Do you deliver logs to Loughborough?

Yes. Firewood orders can be placed online for delivery to Loughborough, with the delivery method depending on the quantity and product selected.

Can I order firewood for delivery to Market Harborough?

Yes. Market Harborough and the surrounding area are covered by our online delivery service. If you are ordering a pallet to a rural property or restricted-access address, check the delivery requirements before ordering.

Can I burn kiln-dried logs in Leicester?

Leicester city is a Smoke Control Area, so the appliance and the way the wood is burned need to comply with the relevant regulations.

Kiln-dried wood being dry does not, by itself, mean it can be burned in every appliance. Check the current local authority rules and the manufacturer’s instructions for your stove or fireplace.

What size logs should I order for my wood burner?

Measure your firebox and check the manufacturer’s recommended maximum log length.

Our smaller logs are approximately 25cm long, while selected large logs are approximately 35cm. Allow for the stated size tolerances and natural variation between individual pieces.

Are bulk bags of logs the same as tonne bags?

No. A bulk bag should not be assumed to contain a tonne of firewood.

Compare the published volume and product information rather than relying on the commonly used phrase “tonne bag”.

Which is better: bags, bulk bags or crates?

It depends on how often you burn, how much storage you have and how easy the logs need to be to handle.

Smaller bags are convenient for occasional use and easier to move individually. Bulk bags and crates can be better suited to customers who burn regularly and want to stock up.

How are large orders delivered?

Larger quantities are normally palletised and delivered using a tail-lift vehicle. A pallet truck is then used at the unloading point, so suitable access and a reasonably firm, level surface are important.

Read our delivery information before ordering if you have narrow access, gravel, slopes or other restrictions.

Are all FirewoodFund logs British?

No. FirewoodFund sells both British and European-sourced firewood depending on the product.

If you specifically want UK-sourced firewood, browse the British logs range and check the individual product description before ordering.

Do you have a firewood shop or depot in Leicester?
