Before you order

Silchester firewood questions, answered.

Do you deliver firewood to Silchester? +
Yes. Silchester is about 9.6 miles from our yard in Winchfield, comfortably inside our local delivery area, and we deliver there on our own vans, not a courier.
How much is delivery to Silchester? +
Delivery to Silchester is free on orders over £150. Below that it's a flat £15, shown clearly at checkout before you pay, never added as a surprise afterwards.
How quickly can I get firewood in Silchester? +
Turnaround for Silchester is usually a few days from order to delivery, on the day you pick, with live updates so you know roughly when to expect us.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered to Silchester? +
Yes. Collection is free from The Barn, Bagwell Lane, Winchfield RG27 8DB, every Tuesday and Thursday, 1pm to 5pm, including the same day if you call ahead. We'll load your vehicle for you, so it's worth bringing something with a flat load area if you can.
How much firewood do I need for a home in Silchester? +
It varies by household, but as a starting point, a wood burner lit most evenings through winter gets through roughly 5 Barrow Bags or 15 Easy Bags; occasional use needs far less. Our full firewood quantity guide breaks this down by burner type.
Is your wood Ready to Burn? +
Yes. Every batch we deliver to Silchester is kiln-dried below 20% moisture and independently certified under the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme, certificate WS721. We test moisture ourselves too, not just at the point of certification.
Do you deliver kindling, coal and compost to Silchester too? +
Kindling, WA Firelighters and smokeless coal can all be added to a firewood order for Silchester at checkout, on the same van, no separate delivery needed. Compost is ordered separately, minimum three bags at about 300 litres each, and delivers to Silchester the same way, on our own van, placed exactly where you'd like it in the garden.

Delivering to Silchester

Local, not outsourced.

Delivery day is your choice, selected at checkout, and whoever answers your call knows exactly who is driving that route and roughly when they'll arrive.

We don't outsource the Silchester run to save time. It's about 9.6 miles and 20 to 31 minutes by road, covered by the same van and driver as everywhere else nearby.

If you're out when we deliver to Silchester, that's fine; the notes you leave at checkout tell our driver exactly where to leave everything, safely and out of the way.

Silchester shares its RG7 postcode district with Mortimer, Riseley and Swallowfield, a genuine local cluster rather than a scattered service area.

Prefer to collect rather than wait for Silchester delivery day? The yard at The Barn, Bagwell Lane, Winchfield RG27 8DB is open for free collection every Tuesday and Thursday, 1pm to 5pm, and we'll load your vehicle for you, no booking fuss beyond picking a slot.

Occasional fire or fire pit1 to 2 Barrow Bags — A weekend fire now and then through autumn and winter.
Open fire, a few evenings a week3 to 4 Barrow Bags — Regular but not nightly use across a typical season.
Wood burner, most evenings5 to 6 Barrow Bags — The most common pattern among our regular customers.
Wood burner, primary heat source8 bags or more — Burning daily through the coldest months.
Pizza oven or commercial useAsk us directly — We supply several local pizza ovens; call 01252 416123 for a bulk quote.

A rough starting point, not a fixed rule. See our full how much firewood do I need guide for open fires, wood burners, fire pits and pizza ovens in more detail.

We hear the same handful of questions from Silchester customers before a first order: how many bags, which wood, and whether it's genuinely dry. The sections below, and the quick guide beneath them, answer all three honestly.

  • Weatherproof, so your logs stay dry in transport
  • Roughly 18 to 25kg each

Why Silchester customers choose us

Word for word, from real customers.

None of what follows is exclusive to Silchester; it's simply how the business runs everywhere it delivers. Still worth setting out before a first order.

01

Kiln-dried, tested, certified

Every batch is kiln-dried below 20% moisture and certified under the Woodsure Ready to Burn scheme, WS721, whichever bag ends up in Silchester. We test, we don't just assume, and the certificate is on public record.

02

Family run since 2016

Same yard, same founder, running the business day to day since 2016. We're not a reseller putting our name on somebody else's firewood.

03

5.0 from 210 reviews

Over 4,000 customers and counting, and every review is five stars with a real name attached; nothing hidden, nothing cherry-picked.

04

Our own vans, our own team

No couriers and no subcontractors for Silchester deliveries. The person who answers the phone usually knows the person driving the van that day, and can tell you where your order actually is.

"We use WA Logs twice at the beginning of 2025 and purchased 4 barrow bags (60-70kg per bag) of their kiln dried hard wood - amazing product. Easy to arrange delivery, bags are easy to move around, logs are very standard sizing - so no extra chopping required and every log burnt like a 'dry' dream. May not be the cheapest option around but its well worth the money for the service and the premium product."

Mark Williams

"Delivery on time, good large logs. Put exactly where I wanted them. Very helpful. Will use again."

Sandra Plumpton

"Helpful delivery driver and good communications with office. Excellent wood, kindling etc."

Ruth Carver

Ask a neighbour in Tadley or Bramley whether they've used us. There's a decent chance they have; Silchester shares a delivery loop with both.

We grew the business one Hampshire town at a time, and Silchester has been part of that patch for long enough that it's simply routine now.
