Wet wood & House Coal is being phased out this season. (February 2021)

What is the new UK Government rules for fires and wood burners that burn wood and coal?

• The sales of all bagged traditional house coal will be phased out by February 2021.

• The sales of wet wood in units of under 2m3 will be restricted from sale from February 2021,

Coal burning customers
Buying smokeless coal (clean coal) will be your option.

Wood burning customers
This shouldn't effect you too much as most of my customer already buy fully seasoned / barn or kiln dried fire wood.

Looking at seasoning the fire wood yourself?
Wet wood sold in volumes greater than 2m3 will be sold with advice on how to dry it before burning from February 2021
