Nationwide Firewood Delivery
Rapid Hire supplies firewood logs and kindling with nationwide delivery using local depots and efficient routing. Whether you need a quick top‑up or a bulk delivery for regular use, we make it simple to order logs for delivery with clear options and straightforward service.
Our firewood is suitable for log burners, wood stoves, open fireplaces and outdoor burners such as fire pits and chimineas. Choose from bulk bags, smaller nets and kindling depending on how often you burn and how you store your fuel.
Why Dry Logs Matter
Moisture content is one of the biggest factors in how well wood burns. Dry wood (20% moisture content or less) burns more efficiently, produces less smoke and delivers better heat performance than wet or unseasoned logs.
If you are buying wood in smaller quantities in England, it must be certified as Ready to Burn, confirming moisture content of 20% or less and displayed with the logo and certification details.
Hardwood vs Softwood
Hardwood logs are generally denser, which typically means a longer burn time and more heat per cubic metre than softwood at the same moisture content. Softwood is useful when you want quick ignition and lively flames, which is why it is commonly used for kindling.
Bulk Bags and Practical Quantities
If you’re looking for value and fewer repeat orders, bulk bags are a popular option. A typical bulk bag is often described as “just under a cubic metre” of loose-filled logs, though volume can vary depending on log size and how the bag is filled.
For smaller storage areas or occasional burning, choose nets and smaller bags. For easier lighting, add kindling to your order to get your fire established quickly.

Smoke Control Areas, Storage and Safe Burning
Dry wood is central to cleaner burning. Government guidance recommends using wood that is dry (20% moisture content or less), as wetter wood creates more smoke and particulates and wastes heat.
If you live in a Smoke Control Area, you can only burn authorised fuels unless you use a Defra-approved (exempt) appliance. Wood is treated as an unauthorised fuel unless used in an exempt appliance, and you must follow the appliance manufacturer’s permitted fuels.
Compliance Essentials
England: wood sold in volumes under 2m³ must be certified as Ready to Burn (≤20% moisture) and displayed with the logo and certification details.
Smoke Control Areas: burn authorised fuels unless your appliance is Defra-approved (exempt).
Coal note: traditional house coal is illegal to sell for domestic use in England; only permitted smokeless fuels may be available.
Storage and Safety Best Practice
Store logs dry, ventilated and off the ground to prevent moisture re-absorption.
Use a moisture meter to confirm wood is ≤20% before burning.
Sweep and maintain your chimney/flue regularly (frequency depends on fuel and use).
Use a carbon monoxide alarm where appropriate and follow appliance safety guidance.
Never burn treated, painted or contaminated wood.
All products are subject to availability. Bag volumes are approximate and can vary with log size and fill method. Always follow local Smoke Control rules and your appliance manufacturer instructions.
