Firewood delivery in Formby

Formby is wood-burner country. The larger detached properties around Freshfield and the pinewoods overwhelmingly have either a stove or an open fire, often both, and households here tend to buy by the pallet rather than the bag.

A word on the local temptation: there is a lot of pine around Formby, and fallen softwood is easy to come by. It burns fast, throws less heat per log than hardwood, and its resin content means more deposit in the flue. It is fine as a fire-starter once properly dried, but it is not a substitute for seasoned hardwood as your main fuel, and burning wet pine is the quickest way to a chimney fire.

We deliver free across L37, including Freshfield, Ravenmeols and the roads out towards the National Trust pinewoods.
