How to compare quotes for firewood

Cheapest is not the same as best value for firewood. A slightly higher quote with a complete scope and no open-ended extras is often safer than the lowest figure with caveats.

Timing your firewood

For firewood, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.

What moves the price of firewood

Labour, materials and timing explain most of the gap between two quotes for firewood. Access and preparation often matter as much as the headline task, so a job that needs extra setup or a second visit costs more even when the base price looks identical.
