How We Deliver

How We Deliver Our Fuel

At HouseFuel, we send out hundreds of orders each week, and depending on what type of fuel you order, we will use one of two methods

Delivery Service for Approved Smokeless Fuel or Logs

Housefuel will deliver these fuels on a pallet using a third-party haulage company offering a nationwide service. Orders are delivered on a tail lift truck; once the pallet is lowered, the goods are manoeuvred to the kerbside at the front of the property using a pump truck.

Occasionally, deliveries can be taken onto the driveway if it is a flat concrete/tarmac surface with no gradient. This is at the driver’s discretion on the delivery day and whether or not they deem it safe to do so. They are typically very accommodating and help meet our customers' requirements as best they can.

Delivery Service for House Coal

With a change in legislation, effective the 1st May 2023, House Coal is only available for sale in Scotland and Wales. Our standard pallet delivery service can only deliver smokeless fuels across the entire UK, so we’ve put in place an alternative method to have your Coal hand delivered:

  • When you order House Coal, the fuel will be delivered by hand in 25kg Plastic Bags.
  • Our delivery partner will leave the House Coal in a safe place on your property or where directed to (if safe and reasonable to do so).
  • The House Coal can be tipped into a suitable coal bunker or store and the empty bags taken away for recycling.
  • Alternatively the House Coal can remain in the bags. However, please note that the bags will be cut open before our delivery partner leaves your premises to comply with the new legislation
  • Delivery Time is within five working days of order.
  • You do not need to be at home for delivery to take place

Other Important Information

Our third-party delivery partners often use 18-tonne lorries as the driver may have multiple drop-offs to carry out on any given day. However, we understand not all our customers live on main roads, and access to the property can be difficult. We can request that your order be delivered on a smaller vehicle if you think it may help. However, this is subject to availability. This vehicle can usually travel wherever your rubbish collectors do when they make their rounds.

Please note, if we are required to make a re-delivery due to withheld information regarding access to the customer's address, the customer will incur a re-delivery charge. Suppose the third-party haulage company arrives at the location and deems it unsafe or impossible to complete the delivery due to withheld information. In that case, the customer will receive a refund minus the delivery charge.

If you have any queries about our delivery processes, please don’t hesitate to contact us. There are a variety of ways that you can contact us, and they are shown at the top of each page. We will be more than happy to help and answer your questions.
