Domestic Fuels Legislation

The government is phasing out the sale of wet wood sold in small volumes (under 2m) in England from 1 May 2021. This legislation forms part of the UK commitment in the Clean Air Strategy to reduce emissions of damaging air pollutants by 2020 and 2030.

Legislation Explained

Wood sold in volumes of less than 2cubic metres must be certified as ‘Ready to Burn’ by law from 1 May 2021.

Small suppliers, those supplying volumes under 600m3 between 1 May 2020 & 30 April 2021, have until 30 April 2022 to comply with legislation.

Wood products sold in volumes over 2cubic metres do not need to be certified as Ready to Burn, but they must be sold with advice on drying and an explanation of the issues of burning wet wood. 

We are a small supplier under the government definition and we are now fully accredited
