clean air coal ban

The ‘House Coal’ ban in England is finally upon us and will come into effect from 1st May 2023 – yes that means you cannot buy house coal after the 1st of May this year!.

Don’t Worry – No need to stop burning!

The ban is about the selling of these products so if you have traditional coal such as doubles, trebles or best in your bunker or shed then don’t worry you can keep on using them. You will still be able to burn house coal after 1st May 2023, you just won’t be able to buy it in England.

Now is the time to switch to Hot Ovoids Smokeless Briquettes!

The legislation has been brought in to improve air quality so if you are looking for an alternative then we have a wide range of cleaner, smokeless solid fuels available for you to choose from. And even better news…. smokeless fuels are more cost effective too as they are 30% more efficient than normal coal (DEFRA). Smokeless Ovoids are ideal to burn on your open fire or multi fuel stove well into the future.

I would like to stock up on House Coal!

Should you wish to stock up on House Coal we have fantastic stocks available for delivery up to 1st May 2023. Or you can collect ongoing from our site in Duns (TD11 3EL). The legislation does not apply in Scotland, so we have a ready supply waiting for you.
