If you’re living in Sunbury on Thames & surrounding areas and looking for a trustworthy supplier of kiln-dried logs, smokeless coal, eco fuels, or kindling, you’ve found the right place. Whether you’re preparing for a cosy winter fuelling an open fire or a log burner in your home, or stocking up your pub or hotel, finding a reliable, local supplier who delivers direct to your coal bunker or log store makes all the difference.

At Clark’s Coal, we’ve been keeping homes and businesses across Sunbury warm for over five generations. We’re proud to be a local, family-run business combining traditional service with modern convenience—and that starts with our high-quality fuel, competitive pricing, and friendly, personal service.

???? Why Kiln-Dried Logs Are Worth It

One of the most common questions we hear is:
“Why are kiln-dried logs more expensive than seasoned logs?”

The simple answer? Kiln-dried logs give you better heat and better value.

They’re dried in large kilns at high temperatures, reducing their moisture content to below 20%. This ensures:

  • Hotter, cleaner burns
  • Longer-lasting fires
  • Less tar and residue in your chimney
  • Fewer logs used per fire

In contrast, seasoned logs (air-dried over time) often have inconsistent moisture levels, resulting in poor burning performance. While they may appear cheaper, you’ll likely use more, and generate less heat.

So yes, kiln-dried logs can cost a little more upfront, but because they burn hotter and slower, you’ll use around 22% fewer logs per fire, saving money in the long run.

???? What You Need to Know About Smokeless Fuel

Sunbury and the surrounding South West London area is a smoke control area, so it’s important to use DEFRA-approved smokeless fuels to meet clean air regulations.

We stock a wide range of smokeless options, including:

  • Newheat Briquettes – Our best-selling fuel, known for its high heat output, long burn time, and low ash. A customer favourite, perfect for both open fires and multi-fuel stoves.
  • Ecoal – A greener alternative made from 33% olive pips, offering a cleaner burn and great performance.
  • Traditional Smokeless Coal – For those who prefer a classic fuel with dependable heat.

Smokeless fuels are cleaner, more efficient, and better for the environment, and your chimney.

???? Supporting Local. Heating Local.

Clark’s Coal is based locally and has been operating since 1890. That’s over 130 years of experience, and more than a century of trust from customers across Surrey, Middlesex, and South West London.

We’ve been supplying local homes and businesses—including several Young’s pubs across South West London—for over 45 years. When top hospitality venues trust us to keep their fireplaces roaring, you can too.

When you choose Clark’s Coal, you’re supporting:

  • A small, family-run business rooted in your community
  • A team that cares about customer service and fuel quality
  • A supplier who offers better value than convenience-based purchases at petrol stations or garden centres — those may seem handy in the moment but often come at a premium, both in price and fuel quality
  • A company trusted by homeowners, landlords, pubs, and hotels alike

???? Spotlight on Newheat Briquettes

Our top seller, Newheat, isn’t just popular by chance, it delivers serious results. These briquettes are engineered to produce consistent, high-intensity heat with minimal ash, meaning less mess and more warmth.

Whether you’re fuelling a stove or an open fire, Newheat briquettes are a reliable, clean-burning option that performs well even on the coldest nights. Plus, because they’re compact and slow-burning, they’re ideal for customers looking to reduce how often they need to restock fuel.

???? Storing Your Logs & Coal the Right Way

Once your delivery arrives, it’s important to store your fuel properly to get the most out of it. Kiln-dried logs should be kept somewhere dry and ventilated, ideally off the ground and away from walls to avoid moisture buildup.

Coal or briquettes should be stored in sealed bins or bunkers, especially in damp months. We’re always happy to offer advice on the best storage methods, and our team will deliver directly into your log store or coal bunker so everything is ready to go when you need it.

❓ Newheat vs. Ecoal – What’s the Difference?

Both Newheat and Ecoal are high-performance, smokeless fuels, and many of our customers like to keep both on hand.

Newheat briquettes are ideal when you need a long, hot burn with very little ash—perfect for heating your home during colder months.

Ecoal, made with 33% olive pips and a favourite with Youngs Pubs, is a more eco-conscious blend that still delivers great heat output while reducing environmental impact.

Whether you’re focused on heat, sustainability, or a bit of both, we’ll help you choose the right fuel, or combination of fuels, for your stove or fireplace.
