Firewood Delivery

This novel firewood delivery service enables customers to enjoy the pleasure of a wood fire without the effort of finding the next supply of logs or having to move, stack and maybe even split the logs when they arrive. We no longer provide this service ourselves but we make the approach and mechanics available for other wood fuel suppliers to use

This service delivers logs in special boxes. Each customer is provided with two boxes and a covering roof which makes the whole look like a log store. When one box has been emptied, we bring a full replacement and take the empty box away. Edistone retains ownership of the boxes and roof looks after them as well.

This service has now been discontinued to enable us to focus on our log store business. However, we will still help other woodfuel suppliers set to equivalent services. Please contact us on 01691 648016 for more details.

The store can be located wherever is convenient for the customer (as long as there is a suitable route for delivery). Often, this is by the back door but some have chosen to have it by the front door, in the garage or down the side alley. Customers are initially supplied with two boxes full of logs, together with a roof to make up a complete log store. The footprint of the complete unit is 151cm (60 inches) wide and 54cm (21 inches) deep. The roof overhangs to the front and to each side making it 170cm (67 inches) wide and 69cm (27 inches) deep. The overall height is 140cm (54 inches).

The logs are all cut to a nominal 25cm (10”) length, which we have found suits most stoves and fireplaces.

Every customer has the opportunity to take delivery of a full box once a fortnight. We have found that this ensures that customers always have a ready supply of fuel available. Some customers seem to take a box most fortnights while others only take an occasional box.

We guarantee that a supply of logs is available throughout the winter from the beginning of October until the end of March and that all logs are well seasoned. Customer have enough logs at the end of March to take them through the summer.

Each box is filled with two stacks of 25cm (10”) logs, one stack in front of the other. Each box holds a stack volume of approximately 0.3 cubic metres.

Licensing to other wood fuel suppliers

The log store is a Registered Design. As we can cover only a limited geographic area, we would welcome enquiries from any firewood business that wishes to provide a similar service in another area. We can license the details to you.
