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.

For Mortimer deliveries we keep the choice simple: a handful of bundles that suit most households, or build your own order by the bag if you know exactly what you want.

Delivering to Mortimer

Local, not outsourced.

Pick the day that suits you at checkout and our own team, not a third-party courier, will bring your order out and put it exactly where you ask.

Covering 8.2 miles from the yard, a run to Mortimer generally takes our van somewhere between 17 and 27 minutes, depending on the roads that day.

For Mortimer deliveries we send updates on the day itself, so you'll know roughly when the van's arriving rather than guessing across a wide window.

Post it as RG7 and you're in Mortimer, alongside Riseley, Silchester and Swallowfield; the shared district is one small sign of how close together this patch of villages sits.

Prefer to collect rather than wait for Mortimer 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.

Why Mortimer customers choose us

The reviews that keep us honest.

Every order into Mortimer gets the same checks and the same small team behind it, whether it's your first order or your fifteenth. Here's what that means in practice, not just in the small print.

01

Kiln-dried, tested, certified

Whatever reaches Mortimer, it's been kiln-dried below 20% moisture first and checked against the Woodsure Ready to Burn standard, certificate WS721. We measure moisture ourselves rather than taking a supplier's word for it.

02

Family run since 2016

Trading from the same yard on Bagwell Lane the whole time, with the same founder still running it day to day. Not a marketplace reseller relabelling somebody else's stock under a new name.

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 Mortimer 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.

"What a great service, team and product. Strongly recommend them; prompt, courteous and tidy. Great wood too!"

Christian Cox

"Excellent service and log quality. Wasn't sure about the logs being delivered in bags but was quickly converted when the delivery was in heavy rain!"

Peter

"Used for the first time. Excellent service, ordered and delivered on the same day. Very helpful and will use going forward!"

Before you order

Mortimer firewood questions, answered.

Do you deliver firewood to Mortimer? +
Yes. Mortimer is about 8.2 miles from our yard in Winchfield, comfortably inside our local delivery area, and we deliver there on our own vans, not a courier.
How quickly can I get firewood in Mortimer? +
We don't operate a long waiting list for Mortimer. Pick your day at checkout and expect delivery within a few days of that.
Can I collect instead of having it delivered to Mortimer? +
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 Mortimer? +
As a rough guide, a wood burner used most evenings gets through around 15 Easy Bags (or roughly 5 Barrow Bags) across a UK winter; an occasional fire needs a fraction of that. Our full guide to how much firewood you need walks through open fires, wood burners, fire pits and pizza ovens in more detail.
Is your wood Ready to Burn? +
Yes. Every batch we deliver to Mortimer 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 Mortimer too? +
Kindling, WA Firelighters and smokeless coal can all be added to a firewood order for Mortimer 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 Mortimer the same way, on our own van, placed exactly where you'd like it in the garden.
How much is delivery to Mortimer? +
You'll pay £15 for delivery to Mortimer unless your order passes £150, at which point delivery is free. Checkout shows the figure either way before you confirm.

It's also a short hop from Riseley and Silchester, both of which we deliver to regularly, so a run out to Mortimer rarely happens on its own; the van is usually covering two or three nearby villages in the same trip.

Mortimer falls inside the stretch of Berkshire we've delivered to for years, not a postcode we've just added to a spreadsheet to widen a service area page.
