Stock levels
Firewood is a tricky business to manage supply and demand. Every year we work throughout the summer to build up stock and complete essential maintenance to put ourselves in the best possible place to deliver a great service during the winter months. However every year is different and managing supply and demand is a real challenge given the dependancies and our ability to control them. Factors such as energy prices, regulation changes and the economy make a big difference to demand, but the weather is by far the biggest factor, as soon a the temperature drops below 12 degrees the phone rings non stop.
We also have limited stock availability and we are always trying to balance production with demand. We have to soursce the wood, process it, dry it and deliver it, and each of these stages is capacity contrained. There are two ways we manage this when it comes to our service. Firstly we limit the availability of stock on our website. If something is out of stock, please register for a back in stock notification and look out for updates on our website front page. If you receive a notification and then find that the item is out of stock it will be because it has already been sold. Re-apply for the notification as more stock will be added regularly.

Yes our logs come mostly from our 75 acre mixed woodland in Kings Langley and adjacent farms and properties.
