Kiln Dried Logs for Delivery in EX City Postcodes
At Devon Logs we speciliase in inner-city Exeter firewood deliveries for customers with open fires and wood burning stoves. Please note that some parts of Exeter are subject to the city's smoke control area in which only approved smokeless fuels can be used in open fireplaces and firewood can only be burned on DEFRA approved wood burning stoves. Always choose kiln dried logs for safety, efficiency and air quality.

Firewood chosen for Exeter's City Homes
If you have limited storage space or on-street access, these smaller format logs are easier to carry through the front door, store in a back yard or indoors next to the fireplace. If your home is on the outskirts of Exeter and you have more space, try larger formats like the large crates or barrow bags. All of our logs are kiln dried to reduce moisture content below 18%.
Birch Handy Bags
Great value Birch logs in 60ltr bags
Easy to carry and store, roughly enough logs for a week's light evening use. Birch gets going easily and provides lots of heat as it is a hardwood.
Oak Handy Bags
Hardwood Oak logs for more heat
60 litres of Oak logs in this easy-to-carry handy bag is ideal for roughly one week's light evening wood burner use. Get more heat for longer from Oak logs
Small Nets
For occasional fires and modern homes
If you only need a few logs at a time in Exeter, try these small nets all around the £10 mark each (depending how many you buy at once).
Bulk Bags
For good-value bulk firewood
A bulk bag gives you a large quantity of loose firewood at good value. If you have a private driveway we can deliver these to you in Exeter. Great if you're a regular wood burner user.
Firewood Deliveries In and Around Exeter
We deliver kiln dried firewood in the city of Exeter and the greater Exeter area Monday to Friday with the help of our delivery partner, Gregory Distribution.
We'll bring logs to the kerbside if you live on a busy road or unload your logs onto a private driveway.
Delivery is free in Exeter when you spend £400 or more. Below is a map showing the areas of Exeter:
Exeter Smoke Control Areas
Homes and businesses are permitted to burn approved smokeless fuels (such as anthracite) on open fireplaces and kiln dried firewood only when used in an approved appliance (a modern wood burning stove) in the Exeter smoke control area.
Anthracite is a 'smokeless fuel' which is specifically mentioned on .gov.uk as being safe to burn in the smoke control area. A full list of authorised smokeless fuels can be found on the DEFRA website. Kiln dried firewood is not a smokeless fuel but it is approved for use in smoke control areas when it is burned in a DEFRA exempt appliance. A full list of exempt appliances is available on the DEFRA website.
In summary, if you have a modern DEFRA approved wood burning stove you are permitted to burn kiln dried firewood in the smoke control area in Exeter. We do not recommend burning wet or seasoned wood - this may result in a fine. We only sell Woodsure Ready to Burn approved dry firewood with a moisture level below 18%. We advise always buying kiln dried firewood in smoke control areas to avoid being fined.
Supply and Delivery of Logs in Different Parts of Exeter
The greater Exeter area is a big place with different access challenges depending on which part of the city you live in. These are our notes on recieving a delivery of firewood from us for your specific area of town:
Duryard & St James
The Duryard and St James areas include some steep residential roads, older properties and streets around the University of Exeter where parking can be limited. If your property is on a hillside or has steps leading to your log store, please let us know when ordering. Smaller bags of kiln dried logs may be easier to move than a large bulk delivery, particularly where access from the road is difficult.
Exwick
Exwick stretches from the River Exe into the hills on the western side of Exeter. While many properties have straightforward driveway access, some of the steeper residential roads, cul-de-sacs and hillside homes can present delivery challenges. If your log store is above or below road level, consider ordering firewood in manageable bags. Make sure any sloping paths or steps are clear before your delivery arrives.
St David's
St David's includes parts of central Exeter, where terraced houses, apartments, one-way streets and limited parking can make firewood deliveries more complicated. If you live near Exeter St David's railway station or the city centre, please tell us about any loading restrictions or difficult access. Nets and smaller bags of firewood are often more practical for properties without private driveways, especially where logs need to be carried through the house or into a courtyard.
St Thomas
Located west of the River Exe, St Thomas has a mixture of traditional terraced streets, family homes and larger properties. Around Cowick Street and the older residential roads, on-street parking can make unloading a large quantity of logs difficult. Please ensure there is somewhere safe for our delivery vehicle to stop. If your log store is in a rear garden with access through a narrow side passage, smaller bags may be easier to handle than loose firewood.
Alphington
Alphington combines older village streets with more modern residential developments and properties around the Marsh Barton area. Some of the older roads have tighter access, while homes with larger driveways may be well suited to bulk bags or larger deliveries of firewood. If you're ordering a substantial quantity of logs, check that there is sufficient space for unloading and that your log store can be reached safely. Keeping the delivery area clear will help everything go smoothly.
Newtown & St Leonard's
Newtown and St Leonard's contain a wide variety of properties, from compact Victorian terraces near Exeter city centre to larger detached houses with private gardens. In Newtown, restricted parking and narrow residential streets can make smaller firewood bags a sensible choice. Properties in St Leonard's may have more suitable access for bulk deliveries, although this varies from house to house. If you have a basement, courtyard or garden log store, consider how far the firewood needs to be carried from the road.
Priory
The Priory area, including parts of Wonford, has a mixture of residential estates, terraced housing, flats and family homes. Some properties have shared parking areas, pedestrian access paths or steps between the road and front door. Please tell us if your delivery needs to reach a property away from the main road. Smaller nets or handy bags can be particularly useful for apartment residents or anyone storing their firewood in a shed or garden some distance from the unloading point.
Topsham
Topsham's historic streets, particularly around Fore Street, The Strand and the waterfront, can make larger firewood deliveries challenging. Narrow roads, limited parking and properties without direct vehicle access mean that smaller nets or bags of logs may be easier to carry home and store. Being beside the Exe Estuary also means some properties experience damp, windy and exposed conditions. Store your kiln dried firewood off the ground in a well-ventilated log store, protected from rain and moisture-laden air. Avoid wrapping your logs tightly in plastic, as trapped condensation can make them damp.
St Loyes
St Loyes includes established residential neighbourhoods and areas around Middlemoor, with a mixture of housing styles and access arrangements. Homes with driveways or accessible garages may be suitable for larger bulk bags of kiln dried firewood. If your property is on a busy road or reached through a shared entrance, it's worth checking where our vehicle can safely unload. Prepare a dry, sheltered storage area before delivery so your logs can be put away without being left exposed to the weather.
Heavitree
Heavitree is a busy, well-established part of Exeter with traditional terraced houses, residential side streets and the main Fore Street shopping area. Parking and unloading can be difficult along busier roads, particularly if your property has no driveway. We recommend checking where a delivery vehicle can safely stop and whether your log store is accessed through a narrow passage or rear garden. Nets and smaller bags can be more convenient when firewood needs to be carried through restricted spaces.
Pinhoe
Pinhoe has a mixture of older village properties, established residential streets and newer housing developments towards the eastern side of Exeter. Many modern homes have convenient driveways or garages, making deliveries of larger quantities of firewood relatively straightforward. Older properties may have narrower entrances or more limited vehicle access. If you live in a newer development, please provide your full postcode and any useful directions, particularly if your road is not yet clearly shown on navigation systems.
Mincinglake & Whipton
Mincinglake and Whipton cover residential neighbourhoods in north-east Exeter, including areas with sloping roads, cul-de-sacs and terraced or semi-detached housing. Some properties have steps, raised gardens or narrow side access that can make moving firewood more demanding. Think about the distance between the unloading point and your log store before choosing between bulk bags, handy bags or nets. For homes on steeper streets, having a clear, safe unloading space is especially helpful.
Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania occupies some of Exeter's higher ground, with residential streets climbing towards Stoke Hill. The area's slopes, steep driveways and stepped garden access can make moving heavy quantities of firewood challenging. If your property is on a steep hill, let us know about the gradient and available parking when placing your order. Smaller bags of kiln dried logs can be easier to transport to an elevated garden or log store, while properties with level driveway access may be suitable for larger deliveries.
Frequently Asked Questions
You can order high-quality kiln dried hardwood logs online from Devon Logs for delivery throughout Exeter and the surrounding area. We supply firewood in a range of quantities, from convenient small nets and handy bags to larger bulk bags and crates. Our logs are ideal for wood burning stoves, log burners and open fires.
We deliver kiln dried logs across the greater Exeter area, including Alphington, Exwick, St Thomas, St David's, Heavitree, Pinhoe, Pennsylvania, Whipton, Wonford, St Leonard's, Topsham and surrounding neighbourhoods. We also serve properties around Exeter Airport and the eastern outskirts of the city. Delivery arrangements depend on your postcode and property access.
Yes, we can arrange firewood deliveries to suitable addresses in central Exeter. Some city centre streets have limited parking, narrow access or restrictions on loading and unloading. If you live in a terraced property, apartment or a street with difficult vehicle access, please let us know when ordering. Smaller nets and bags of logs may be more practical than larger bulk deliveries.
Yes, Devon Logs supplies kiln dried firewood to Topsham and the surrounding area. Some of Topsham's historic streets are particularly narrow, especially around the older town centre and waterfront. If vehicle access is restricted, consider ordering nets or smaller bags of firewood that are easier to carry into your property. Please provide any relevant access information when placing your order.
We supply kiln dried hardwood firewood, including oak, birch and ash and beech logs, depending on current availability. Oak is a dense hardwood suited to long-lasting fires, birch is popular for its attractive flames and ease of lighting, and ash and beech are excellent all-round choices for home heating. Different species and bag sizes are available to suit your fireplace, storage space and budget.
The best quantity depends on how frequently you use your fire, how much storage space you have and how easily your property can be accessed. Occasional users may prefer nets or handy bags, while households using a wood burning stove every day may find bulk bags or crates more economical. If you have suitable storage and easy delivery access, buying a larger quantity can reduce the cost per log.
Many Exeter neighbourhoods, including Pennsylvania, Exwick and parts of Duryard, have steep roads and hillside properties. If your driveway is particularly steep or your log store is reached by steps, please tell us before delivery. Smaller bags of logs are often easier to handle in these situations. The suitability of larger deliveries will depend on safe vehicle access and the available unloading space.
The cost of delivering firewood to Exeter depends on your location, the products ordered and the applicable delivery arrangements. You can check the delivery charges for your order through our website. Ordering a larger quantity of firewood can often provide better value than purchasing small amounts regularly.
Kiln dried firewood should be stored somewhere dry, sheltered and well ventilated. Keep your logs raised off the ground and protect them from direct rainfall while allowing air to circulate around the wood. A covered log store with open or slatted sides is ideal. Avoid placing logs directly against damp walls or covering them completely with plastic, which can trap condensation.
Properties near Topsham, Countess Wear and the Exe Estuary may experience more exposed, damp and windy conditions than sheltered parts of Exeter. Even kiln dried logs can absorb moisture if left exposed to persistent rain or damp surroundings. Keep your firewood off the ground in a covered, ventilated log store and avoid locations where wind-driven rain can reach the logs.
Kiln dried logs are dried under controlled conditions to reduce their moisture content, making them ready to burn when stored correctly. Compared with poorly seasoned or damp firewood, dry logs generally light more easily, burn more efficiently and produce less smoke. For efficient burning, firewood should have a moisture content of 20% or less. This is particularly important for modern wood burning stoves.
Before your logs arrive, make sure there is a safe place for the delivery vehicle to stop and unload. Clear any obstacles from driveways, pathways and access to your log store. If you live on a narrow road, have restricted parking or need the delivery brought through a particular entrance, please provide these details when ordering. Having a dry storage area prepared will help you get your firewood protected from the weather as soon as possible.
I ordered logs in the summer to be delivered in early September. I received a reminder of the delivery date and they were stored in bags in the garage just as we asked. A very good service all round.
