Smokeless Coal & Kiln-Dried Logs Delivery in Poringland & Framingham Earl | Your Family Merchant Since 1922

Four Generations of Traditional Local Service Across the NR14 City Fringe Run Since the 2000s

While our family heritage dates back to 1922, we have been a dedicated fixture on the roads into Poringland and the surrounding rural parishes since the 2000s, proudly keeping households warm through every winter. We’ve seen the village grow and evolve—from the historic heart near the All Saints Church to the thriving residential hub it is today.

Whether you live in a character cottage in Framingham Earl, an established family home along The Street or Caistor Lane, or one of the modern new housing estates situated across the town, we bring four generations of trusted merchant expertise directly to your door. We handle all the heavy lifting so you do not have to.


The Larkins Verdict: Recommended for Poringland Homes

We want you to get the absolute most out of your fire. Based on our family's long-standing local weekly rounds, these are our top choices for performance and reliability across the NR14 city-fringe:

  • For Wood-Burners & Stoves: Certainly Wood Kiln-Dried Logs – Sourced from sustainable British hardwood and dried to an ultra-low 10–15% moisture content. They provide an intense, clean heat that keeps your stove glass crystal clear—essential for maintaining the efficiency of modern high-efficiency Ecodesign stoves and twin-wall chimneys running throughout our local village closes, established neighbourhoods, and the newer residential areas expanding across the town boundaries.

  • For Multi-Fuel Appliances: Oxbow Newheat – A firm local favourite for its highly consistent, long-lasting heat. It is perfectly formulated to keep active suburban family homes comfortably warm all evening with minimal ash to clear.
  • For Open Fires: Newburn Smokeless Fuel – Our cost-effective best-seller. It provides the traditional "crackle" of a real coal fire and great value without the smoke—ideal for the village’s established period properties, classic brick chimneys, and older cottages situated along the historic rural lanes and surrounding Framingham Earl boundaries.

The Larkins Stacking Service: Included as Standard

While national courier companies leave heavy pallets stranded at your kerbside, we provide a traditional personal service that our NR14 neighbours expect from a local family firm. We handle all the manual heavy lifting from our truck straight to your store area:

  • 💪 Stacking Service: We shoulder every 25kg coal bag and individual bag of logs, carrying them cleanly right into your shed, garage, or utility room so you do not have to lift a finger.
  • 🚛 Bunker-Ready Service: If you prefer your coal stored loose, we will empty the bags directly into your bunker upon request—keeping your property tidy and your hands clean.
  • 🚚 Access Specialists: From busy thoroughfares to quiet residential closes, our small 3.5-tonne delivery trucks are chosen specifically to reach even the most tucked-away drives that larger HGV courier lorries simply cannot navigate.

📦 Bulk Bag Delivery (Driveway Drop): Our high-volume bulk bags (1.2m³ and 1.6m³) land standing completely upright exactly where you need them on your driveway via our specialised tipper trucks. Please note: Bulk bags are delivered as a single complete unit and cannot be hand-stacked, barrowed, or emptied out loose by our drivers.

📦 The Hand-Stacked Alternative: If your property requires your winter fuel to be hand-carried down narrow side paths, through a gate, or stacked neatly inside a specific outhouse store, please choose our individual bag options at checkout, which automatically include our full hand-stacking service.


Scheduled Deliveries (Zone 2 Regional Run)

To provide the best value, we aim to run our dedicated Poringland and District delivery rounds on Tuesdays. By grouping our local orders together, we keep our rounds efficient and pass the full transport savings straight back to our neighbours with a reliable service all winter long.

Minimum Order Information (Zone 2 Regional Run):

  • 🔥 Individual Bags: A minimum order of 8 individual bags triggers completely free hand-stacked delivery directly into your store.

🚛 What to Expect on Your Delivery Day

To ensure a smooth delivery across our regular Poringland delivery rounds, please check these few quick points before our truck arrives:

  • Clear the Driveway: Ensure driveway entrances or side paths leading to your bunker, shed, or storeroom are completely free of parked cars, wheelie bins, or locked gates.
  • Leave Out Instructions: Not going to be at home? Simply leave a clear note at checkout specifying where our drivers can safely stack your bags out of the weather.
  • Bunker Preparation: If you have requested our bunker-ready service, please make sure the top of your coal bunker is clear of any garden items or debris before we arrive so our driver can lift the lid and tip your bags cleanly inside.

🧂 Take the Weight Off: Water Softener Salt

Don't struggle carrying heavy, awkward salt packs from the supermarket. Protect your Poringland home from the region's notoriously hard water without any physical strain. Our traditional hand-stacking service applies to our entire salt range too—meaning we will carry your supply straight to where you store it to keep your system running effortlessly.

  • ⚪ Water Softener Tablets: High-purity pebbles that dissolve consistently to prevent salt bridging. Delivered in individual 25kg bags directly into your utility room, kitchen cupboard, or garage store.
  • 🧱 High-Purity Block Salt: Compact blocks designed specifically for block salt systems. Easy to handle and packed clean in waterproof wraps to protect them from dampness.
