A loose load is the simplest way to buy firewood: real cubic metres of logs, tipped straight off the trailer where you want them. No bags to pay for, no bags to get rid of and more wood for your money.

Our loose kiln dried logs are £225 a cubic metre. Order one cube or several and we'll ring you to agree a delivery day.

What is a tipper load of logs?

It's logs sold by volume and tipped loose rather than bagged. Ours is measured in cubic metres, the honest way to compare, because a "load" or a "bag" means something different at every yard.

A loose cubic metre is a genuine cubic metre with the natural air gaps you get from tipping. That's around 360 to 380 standard 9 inch logs, roughly 360 to 380kg of dry wood.

How much does a loose load hold?

One cubic metre covers a stove lit a few evenings a week for a good part of the winter. A stove lit most evenings usually gets through 3 to 5 cubic metres between October and March, so many customers have two or three cubes tipped in one go and stack them once.

Not sure? The calculator below works out your winter in cubic metres.

Plan your winter

How much firewood will you need?

Four quick taps. We’ll work out your winter in cubic metres and show the load that covers it, ready to add to your basket.

Loose or bagged?

Per log, the loose load wins. Two of our bulk bags (£140 each) hold the same wood as one loose cube at £225. Bags make sense when the trailer can't get close, when you've no room to stack or when you only light the fire now and then. Our bag or loose guide compares them properly.

Where we tip it

Wherever the trailer can safely reach: a drive, a yard, beside the log store or the field gate. Tell us about access when you order, gates, slopes and soft ground included and we'll plan the drop. If it can't get close, a bulk bag or barrow bag is the answer.

Kiln dried logs stacked beside a wood burner

From our yard in Uttoxeter

Kiln dried, so it burns the day it lands

Every loose load of kiln dried logs is dried below 20% moisture and certified Ready to Burn (WS7474/00001). That means no waiting a year for it to season: it lights first time, burns hot and keeps the stove glass clear.

Seasoned logs come loose too, from two cubic metres, usually from August while stocks last.

Woodland to burner

Nothing is felled
just to be burnt

Every log starts as a by-product of woodland management and tree work we were doing anyway — thirty years of forestry contracts across Staffordshire and Derbyshire.

Felling in the woodland with a chainsaw
Step one

Sourced locally

From local contractors, The National Forest, and a large UK woodland management company. All British, and kept close to home so it isn’t hauled halfway across the country.

Back at the yard

Cut to 9–10 inches and split, then stacked by species mix and drying stage.

Step three

Dried and checked

Kiln dried at a local drying facility, then meter-checked by us before delivery, ensuring it’s under 20%.

On your drive

We ring you to agree a delivery slot, then bring your logs in our own vehicle for a loose-tipped delivery.
