We would like to thank all customers for their patience over the last few weeks. Unfortunately a truck has been broken and obviously a vehicle never breaks down in the summer!
Hopefully we will be back to normal soon and deliveries will be on the days expected!

There was a time not so long ago when men like this were the quiet heroes of everyday life—no spotlight, no praise, no shortcuts, just hard graft from sunrise to sunset. The image captures one of those familiar figures from Britain’s past: the coalman, walking across a suburban path with a heavy sack slung over his shoulder, his boots worn, his shirt damp with sweat, and his stride steady with the strength of someone who carried half the town’s warmth on his back. These men arrived before breakfast on cold winter mornings, their breath steaming in the icy air as they unloaded sacks from the lorry, one after another, without complaint. They trudged through rain, frost, and fog to deliver what every household depended on: heat, cooking fuel, and the comfort of a glowing fire after a long day. To many, they were a part of the neighbourhood’s heartbeat—known by name, trusted without question, always greeted with a nod or a cup of tea left on the doorstep. Their job was brutal, filthy, and unforgiving, yet it was done with pride and a sense of duty that today feels almost unimaginable. And for countless families, especially in working-class streets, the coalman’s arrival meant more than a delivery—it meant warmth for the children, a thawed-out living room, a hot bath, and the soft crackle of coal in the grate that made a house feel like a home. Looking back now, it’s impossible not to feel a pull of nostalgia for a generation that built their lives on resilience and responsibility, for the men who worked with their hands and carried the weight of a community without ever asking for recognition. This single photograph captures that spirit perfectly: the strength, the humility, the unspoken dignity of a man doing a job that kept entire streets going, year after year, without complaint and without fail—reminding us of a world where hard work wasn’t just a necessity, but a badge of honour quietly worn by those who kept life moving for everyone else.

It’s that sad time of the year where the inevitable happens. We have received our prices and unfortunately 50kg fuels are increasing £1 and 20kg fuels are increasing 40p.

We are a small business and every year inflation has a massive hit on us. We appreciate all new and old customers for their support.

New prices come into effect 1st September.
If orders are made prior to this date, prices can be held up until 19th September.
