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. Softwood lights easily but is less dense, so it burns faster and gives less heat than a similar-sized hardwood log. It is fine as kindling once properly dried, but it is not a substitute for hardwood as your main fuel, and freshly fallen wood of any kind needs drying to 20% moisture or less before it goes near a stove.

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