Delivery to Somerset West
The Firewood Company delivers braai wood, kaggelhout, Namibian hardwood and charcoal to Somerset West, Heldervue, Parel Vallei, Somerset Ridge, Bridgewater, Croydon and Firgrove for R300 per drop. Deliveries run Monday to Friday, typically within 1–2 business days. Offloading and stacking the bags included.
Delivery fee: R300 flat, whatever you order. No minimum.
Delivery days: Monday to Friday. Typical turnaround is 1–2 business days; in peak winter weeks it can stretch to 2–4. The turnaround for your order is shown at checkout before you pay, and we update it as demand changes.
Cut-off: order by Thursday 15:00 to be on Friday’s run. Miss it and the order goes on the following run unless a gap opens — worth a WhatsApp, not worth planning around.
Offloading and stacking the bags: included. Unbagging is R10 a bag, added at checkout.
Access: estate deliveries want the estate name, the street and your gate procedure in the order notes. Where visitors have to register, add the number security will phone, and the driver is through the boom instead of parked at it.
Somerset West: the local paragraph
Somerset West sits in a basin with the Helderberg standing over it, and the mountain decides the evening. Late in the day the south-easter comes across the range and drops into the bowl, which is why so much of the housing stock here has an indoor braai room rather than an open patio — a hearth with its own chimney and a door that closes, built as a room in its own right and used from March through to November. Up the slope in Heldervue and Parel Vallei the houses are newer and bigger, with a closed-combustion fireplace in the living room as well as the braai, so the winter order is two woods and not one. Off Main Road and Lourensford Road the golf estates and the retirement villages run to long driveways, booms and a fair walk from the visitor bay to the back of the house — which is the part people quietly want handled. Carrying and stacking is in the fee, so nobody is dragging twenty-kilo bags down a driveway in the wind.
What we’d put on the truck for a Somerset West house: four blackwattle for the braai room, two swarthaak for the nights it is being used as a fireplace, and a box of firelighters.
What Somerset West orders
Blackwattle Seasoned ±20kg — R109 — denser than bloekom, hotter, and it leaves the cooking coals a braai room is built around. Local hardwood behaviour at a local price.
Sekeldoring (sekelbos) ±18kg — R120 — smaller pieces that catch fast and burn fierce. The Wednesday braai, when nobody wants to start a fire an hour early.
Swarthaak ±15kg — R100 — nearly kameeldoring density at a friendlier price, in a bag light enough to move one-handed.

Somerset West firewood delivery — FAQ
How much is firewood delivery to Somerset West?
R300 flat per drop, and the same in Heldervue, Parel Vallei, Somerset Ridge, Bridgewater, Croydon and Firgrove. Two bags or twenty, the fee does not move, and checkout shows it before you pay.
Which wood is best for an indoor braai room?
Blackwattle. It burns hot and settles into good cooking coals, and a braai room’s draw handles it well. Kameeldoring if you are feeding a crowd and want the coals to hold to the end. Sekelbos if the fire needs to be ready in a hurry.
We’re behind a boom with visitor registration. How does that work?
Put the estate name, the street and the registration procedure in the order notes, with a number security can call. The driver books in, brings the bags to the braai room, the wood store or the garage, and stacks them there. That carrying is in the fee, not an extra.
Do you deliver in Somerset West on a Saturday?
No — the Winelands and Helderberg route runs Monday to Friday. Order by Thursday 15:00 and you are on the Friday truck, which is the one to aim for when the braai is a weekend plan.
Is your wood actually dry?
Yes, and we stake 25 years on it. Our bagged wood is seasoned and stored under cover, so it lights properly and burns hot instead of hissing at you. If a bag ever disappoints, tell us and we’ll make it right — that is the Dry Guarantee. Read the Dry Guarantee.
