Seasoned logs for sale in Chertsey
Do you live in Chertsey and need seasoned hardwood 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? Is it important to you that your logs originate 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 family-run business that has been providing seasoned hardwood logs to homes and businesses in Chertsey for almost four decades.
Naturally dried hardwood logs in Chertsey
Our hardwood logs are carefully air-dried for a minimum of 14 months before being offered for sale. This lengthy drying process effectively reduces the carbon footprint of our firewood, making it a more sustainable alternative to kiln-dried logs.
There are two primary methods of drying logs: 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 kiln drying process is much faster, it also consumes more resources and results in higher carbon emissions, making kiln-dried logs far less eco-friendly than our naturally dried seasoned logs.
Coal and kindling
As well as supplying seasoned logs to homes and businesses in Chertsey 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 in Shalford or added to a delivery of logs.
Homefire Ovals is a smokeless coal that is ideal for multi-fuel stoves, barbecues and open fires. Homefire Ovals are more eco-friendly than regular coal, burning up to 40% longer, generating up to 20% more heat and producing up to 80% less smoke. This not only makes Homefire Ovals more environmentally friendly, but also much better value. It is also worth mentioning that Homefire Ovals can burn for up to nine hours!
Preassembled log stores
Many of our customers in Chertsey have purchased our wooden log stores to help keep their logs dry and protected from the elements during the winter.
Our affordable preassembled log stores feature a slanted roof to allow rain to run off, in addition to slatted sides to help aerate 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. It is also important that your logs are not fully covered with a tarpaulin, as this can limit the airflow around your logs and cause condensation.
We offer free delivery of our wooden log stores when delivered with a load of seasoned hardwood logs to anywhere in Chertsey and other towns and villages in Surrey.
Sustainable timber in Chertsey
All of our seasoned hardwood logs for sale in Chertsey 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 originating 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 Chertsey 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 eco-friendly burn.
