Hardwood logs for sale in Blackwater
Do you live in Blackwater and need seasoned logs for your wood stove, log burner, fire pit or open fire? Would you like the convenience of having firewood delivered right 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 a well-established family-run business that has been providing seasoned hardwood logs to homes and businesses in Blackwater for almost four decades.
Naturally dried hardwood logs in Blackwater
Our hardwood logs are carefully air-dried for a minimum of 14 months prior to being offered for sale. This lengthy drying process effectively reduces the carbon footprint of our firewood, making it a more eco-friendly option when compared to kiln-dried logs.
When it comes to drying logs, there are two primary methods: natural air drying and kiln drying. Seasoned logs are naturally dried in the open air, while kiln-dried logs are dried over a period of several days, using additional wood and electricity. Although the drying process is much quicker in a kiln, it also results in higher carbon emissions, which makes kiln-dried logs far less environmentally friendly than our naturally dried seasoned logs.
Coal and kindling
As well as supplying seasoned hardwood logs to homes and businesses in Blackwater and nearby towns in Hampshire, 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 seasoned logs.
Homefire Ovals is a smokeless coal that is ideal for multi-fuel stoves, barbecues and open fires. Unlike regular house coal, Homefire Ovals have a longer burning duration, lasting up to 40% longer. Additionally, they can generate 20% more heat while producing up to 80% less smoke. This not only makes them more eco-friendly than traditional coal, but also better value. It is also worth mentioning that Homefire Ovals have a remarkable burning time of up to nine hours!
Preassembled log stores
Many of our customers in Blackwater have purchased our preassembled wooden log stores to help keep their logs dry and protected from the elements during the winter.
Our affordable log stores feature a slanted roof to allow rain to run off, as well as slatted sides to help ventilate your logs.
Our preassembled log stores do a great job of keeping your firewood dry and ready to burn. However, it is still important to store hardwood logs away from areas with high moisture content, such as trees, streams, and lakes, as the logs can reabsorb moisture from the atmosphere. Additionally, it is important that your logs are not fully covered with a tarpaulin, as this can limit the airflow around the logs and lead to condensation.
We offer free delivery of our wooden log stores when delivered with a load of seasoned hardwood logs to anywhere in Blackwater and the surrounding areas.
Sustainable timber in Blackwater
All of our seasoned hardwood logs for sale in Blackwater and Hampshire 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 improving our in-house processes in order to reduce our carbon footprint and minimise our impact on the environment.
We are also proud members of Woodsure, the UK’s regulatory body for log suppliers. This ensures our logs for sale in Blackwater are all ready to burn and have a moisture content of less than 20%. This process aids in the reduction of smoke and pollution emitted by logs during combustion, resulting in a more environmentally friendly burn.
