Seasoned logs for sale in Ashtead
Are you looking for seasoned hardwood logs in Ashtead or nearby towns in Surrey? Do you need logs/firewood for a wood stove, log burner, fire pit or open fire to be delivered directly to your door? Are you interested in purchasing logs from a sustainable source?
If you answered “yes” to any of those questions, then you have come to the right place!
Andrew Heard is an established family-run business that has been supplying seasoned hardwood logs to homes and businesses in Ashtead for almost 40 years.
Naturally dried hardwood logs in Ashtead
Our seasoned hardwood logs are naturally dried for a minimum of 14 months before being made available for sale. This extended drying period significantly reduces the carbon footprint associated with our firewood, making it a more environmentally friendly choice compared to kiln-dried logs.
While seasoned logs are naturally dried in the open air, kiln dried logs are placed in kilns where they are dried over several days, with the help of additional wood and electricity. However, this method leads to higher carbon emissions, making kiln dried logs less sustainable than our naturally dried logs.
Coal and kindling
As well as supplying seasoned hardwood logs to homes and businesses in Ashtead and nearby towns in Surrey, we also offer Homefire Ovals smokeless coal, firelighters (natural and Zip) and kindling. Supplies of coal and kindling can be collected from our yard or added to a delivery of logs.
Homefire Ovals is the ideal smokeless coal for multi-fuel stoves, barbecues, and open fires. Compared to regular house coal, Homefire Ovals have a longer burning duration (up to 40% longer) and can generate 20% more heat while producing up to 80% less smoke. This makes them not only better for the environment but also more cost-effective. Also worth noting is that Homefire Ovals have been known to burn for up to nine hours!
Preassembled log stores
Many of our customers in Ashtead have purchased our preassembled wooden log stores to help keep their logs dry and protected from the elements during the winter months.
Our affordable log stores feature a slanted roof to allow rain to run off, as well as slatted sides to ensure there is sufficient airflow around your logs.
Our wooden log stores do a fantastic job of keeping your firewood dry and ready to burn, but it is important that hardwood logs are stored away from large sources of moisture, such as trees, streams and lakes, as the logs can reabsorb this moisture from the atmosphere. It is also important that your logs are not covered up completely with a tarpaulin, as this will restrict the flow of air around your logs, causing them to “sweat”.
We offer free delivery of our wooden log stores when delivered with a load of seasoned hardwood logs to anywhere in Ashtead and the surrounding areas.
Sustainable timber in Ashtead
All of our seasoned hardwood logs for sale in Ashtead and Surrey are produced from timber bought from sustainable sources, such as the Forestry Commission. We obtain the wood from local areas wherever possible, with much of it sourced from Dorking, Ewhurst and Selhurst.
At Andrew Heard, We are always evaluating and refining our in-house processes in order to minimise our impact on the environment as much as possible.
We are also proud members of Woodsure, the UK’s regulatory body for log suppliers. This ensures our logs for sale in Ashtead are all ready to burn and have a moisture content of less than 20%. This helps to reduce the smoke and pollution given off by logs as they are burned, and makes for a generally cleaner burn.
