Are you looking at where to buy firewood? It’s obvious we are going to say Woodfelder Tree Care, because that’s what we do! But we’ve put together this guide on where to buy it, and how to choose the best place for you. If you are in the Manchester area, then we might be the right option, but this guide is relevant to anyone in the UK looking to get good quality firewood and logs for their home stoves, pizza ovens and firepits.
How to Choose a Firewood Supplier
Choosing the right firewood supplier is easy with the right information.
Location and delivery
One clear-cut factor is whether the company delivers to your area. If they deliver to your postcode, they can make the shortlist. We keep deliveries within Manchester and Stockport, so if you are in those areas, we’d be a good fit. And if you’re in South Manchester, delivery is on us, completely free. If you’re further afield, we are probably not the right fit, so look for someone more local.
There are, of course, national brands that deliver logs across the UK, including smaller orders. However, we’d highly recommend choosing a local tree surgeon or firewood company to make your order more sustainable, and in many cases quicker. All of our firewood is sourced locally in Manchester, Stockport and East Cheshire, so transport and energy emissions are reduced by keeping things local.
The right price
Compare prices to get the best deal. You can buy smaller bags from some shops, while some companies only provide larger, bulk bag orders. We only offer bulk bags and tipper loads of logs, so if you just need a small amount, there are plenty of other options.
In general, you can compare providers by looking at the cost of a bulk ton bag. Don’t forget to consider delivery too. Some companies add additional charges for further-away delivery (another reason to go with a local business). Others offer free delivery within a certain area. For customers in South Manchester, we offer free delivery straight to your door, making it quick, convenient, and hassle-free to stock up
The perfect product
Cheapest doesn’t always mean best. In the UK, you’ll mainly choose between kiln-dried and naturally seasoned firewood.
Kiln dried logs burn hot, but they are often imported and dried using high energy, driving up both the cost and the carbon footprint. Naturally seasoned logs rely on time and air. As long as the moisture content is under 20%, seasoned wood burns just as cleanly and efficiently as kiln-dried, while still producing enough heat for most domestic uses.
For the best, long lasting burn, always look for hardwoods (like Oak, Ash, or Beech) over softwoods. Hardwoods burn significantly slower and produce far less ash, making them ideal for solid fuel stoves, log burners, and pizza ovens.
At Woodfelder, all our firewood is a natural mix of local hardwoods, sourced directly from our tree care work across Manchester and Stockport. We air-dry our logs to under 20% moisture, giving you a long, clean burn that supports local, sustainable forestry without the imported price tag.
Good Reviews
Checking out a company’s reviews online is vital. Anyone can create a professional-looking website now, but getting genuine reviews is much harder to do. Don’t rely only on the testimonials on their website; check other sources. Google reviews, Facebook, Trustpilot, Checkatrade, and other legitimate sites allow you to see unedited reviews from real people.
As a professional tree service provider, we’ve achieved 5 stars on almost 300 Google reviews and are proud of how much our customers love working with us, whether for tree services or when buying firewood.
