“Why has the price of coal increased? The facts, the figures, and the costs behind every delivery.”

CB Fuels, why have fuel prices increased? 😮

One of the most common questions we receive is:

Why has the price of coal increased compared to last year or even three months ago?

At CB Fuels, we believe in being open with our customers.

Here’s the reality behind the numbers.

Take our Mainland UK prices for example on this one..

Premium Stove Coal, August 2026, £409 per tonne delivered throughout England, Wales, and parts of Scotland. Today, £439 pounds per tonne delivered.
❌That’s an increase of £30 per ton, or 7.3%. That works out at about 60p per 20kg bag, delivered direct to your door.

Now, here’s why:

❌Haulage is one of the biggest pressures. Transport companies have increased their base delivery charges and their fuel surcharges have gone from 8 percent to as much as 18 percent. That’s a 125% increase in the surcharge itself. For example, a £100 delivery charge that previously carried an £8 fuel surcharge can now carry an £18 surcharge, before any increase in the base rate.

❌Diesel at our local filling station is currently £1.959 per liter, affecting every stage of transport.

❌It’s important to remember that diesel costs don’t just affect the haulage companies delivering coal to your door. Diesel is also used throughout the supply chain, from machinery involved in sourcing and handling raw materials to production, loading, and transportation. With diesel currently around £1.959 per litre at our local filling station, the impact is felt at every stage, not simply in the final delivery charge

❌Like many Employers, we also face higher wage costs including National Insurance and workplace pensions, plus rising electricity, vehicle maintenance, parts, and insurance costs.

✅ As a family business, we understand household budgets are under pressure. We’re working hard to absorb increases wherever possible, rather than passing all costs directly on to customers, and we don’t increase prices without careful consideration.

✅Despite this, our Premium Stove Coal remains £439 per tonne delivered, £8.78 per 20kg bag with delivery included.

✅We’re truly grateful for every customer who continues to support us.

CB Fuels,
Solid Fuel Specialists.

🧡🖤 STAFF APPRECIATION – SCOTT THOMPSON 🖤🧡

At CB Fuels, we are incredibly fortunate to have a hardworking, dedicated team, and we genuinely appreciate every single member of staff who contributes to the continued success of our business.

However, over the past couple of weeks, one particular team member deserves a special mention – Scott Thompson. 👏

With our business continuing to grow and new members of staff joining the team, Scott has gone above and beyond, taking on additional responsibilities and dedicating his time to training and supporting our new colleagues, all while keeping up with the demands of our busy daily operations.

The extra hours Scott has put in, particularly over the last fortnight and especially this week, have not gone unnoticed.

From working late into the evenings to giving up his Saturdays, Scott has shown tremendous commitment to ensuring our customers receive their deliveries, our operations continue to run smoothly, and the high standards of customer service we pride ourselves on are maintained.

🏆 Having been recognised with the Customer Service Excellence Award for two consecutive years, 2025 and 2026, we know that awards like these aren’t achieved by chance. They are earned through the hard work, dedication and commitment of the people behind our business.

And Scott is a perfect example of that.

As a business, we continuously strive to provide the very best service possible, and having team members who are willing to go that extra mile makes all the difference.

Scott, a massive thank you from all of us at CB Fuels. Your hard work, reliability, willingness to help others and commitment to both the business and our customers are genuinely appreciated.

We are proud to have you as part of our team! 👏🧡

And to every member of our CB Fuels team, thank you for everything you do. Your efforts never go unnoticed.

Great customer service starts with great people, and we’re fortunate to have them. 🧡🖤

🏆 A PROUD AND SPECIAL MOMENT FOR CB FUELS – FER­MANAGH HERALD BUSINESS AWARDS 2026 🏆

We are absolutely delighted and deeply honoured to announce that CB Fuels, Ballinamallard, has been awarded HIGHLY COMMENDED for Contribution to the Community at the Fermanagh Herald Business Awards 2026. ❤️

Although we didn’t take home the Family Business of the Year Award, to receive this special recognition for our contribution to the community means more to us than words can express.

As a small, family-run business, we have always believed that being part of a community is about much more than simply running a business. It’s about supporting one another, lending a helping hand where possible, and giving something back to the people, families, schools, charities, clubs and organisations that make our communities so special.

Over the years, we have been fortunate enough to support many wonderful causes, and we have never done so for recognition or reward. We do it because we genuinely care about the people and communities around us.

To have those efforts recognised in this way is something we are incredibly proud of and will always treasure. ❤️

Like many small businesses, our journey has not been without its challenges. There have been difficult times, sacrifices, long hours and obstacles along the way. However, through it all, our determination to keep moving forward, provide employment, deliver a quality service and continue supporting our local communities has never changed.

This recognition makes every challenge, every late night and every sacrifice feel that little bit more worthwhile.

We would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to the Fermanagh Herald Business Awards judging panel, the organisers, sponsors and everyone involved in making tonight such a wonderful occasion.

A special thank you also goes to our fantastic CB Fuels team, whose hard work, dedication and commitment make everything we do possible. We are extremely fortunate to have such wonderful people working alongside us.

To our loyal customers, family, friends and the wider community, thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Your continued support, encouragement and belief in our small family business mean the absolute world to us. Without you, none of this would be possible.

We would also like to offer our warmest congratulations to all the winners and fellow finalists at this year’s Fermanagh Herald Business Awards. It was a privilege to be surrounded by so many hardworking, dedicated and inspiring local businesses. Every single finalist should be immensely proud of what they have achieved.

Tonight has reminded us that success in business isn’t always measured by turnover, growth or the number of awards on a shelf. Sometimes, the greatest achievement is knowing that, in some small way, you have made a positive difference in somebody else’s life.

And for us, that is what this award represents. ❤️

We may be a small family business from Ballinamallard, but our hearts have always been firmly rooted in the communities we serve, both near and far.

We are incredibly proud to bring this recognition home to Ballinamallard, and we look forward to continuing to give back to the communities that have given us so much.

With sincere thanks and appreciation,

Lee & Christopher
CB Fuels, Ballinamallard ❤️

🏆 FERMANAGH HERALD BUSINESS AWARDS 2026 🏆

We are absolutely delighted and incredibly proud that CB Fuels has been shortlisted (TWICE) as finalists for Family Business of the Year & Contribution to the Community Award, at the Fermanagh Herald Business Awards 2026.

As a family-run business, this recognition means a great deal to us. Like so many local businesses, our journey has been built on hard work, determination, dedication and a genuine passion for what we do.

Running a family business certainly comes with its challenges, but it also brings tremendous rewards. To be recognised alongside so many fantastic businesses across Fermanagh is an achievement in itself and something we are extremely grateful for.

We would like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank our hardworking team, our loyal customers, our families and everyone who has supported CB Fuels throughout the years. Your continued encouragement and support have played an enormous part in helping us grow into the business we are today.

👏 We would also like to extend our warmest congratulations to all the businesses shortlisted across every award category.

Behind every successful business are countless hours of hard work, sacrifices, determination and people who genuinely care about what they do. Every finalist should be extremely proud of what they have achieved.

We wish each and every nominee the very best of luck and continued success in the years ahead.

Regardless of who takes home the awards, tonight is an opportunity to celebrate the incredible businesses, hardworking individuals and entrepreneurial spirit that make Fermanagh such a wonderful place to live, work and do business.

From all of us at CB Fuels, congratulations to everyone involved, and the very best of luck to all the finalists! 🍀🏆

We at CB Fuels have been approached by a number of customers, whom are parents of children who attend Knocknagor P.S, who are really worried about the proposed closure of Knocknagor Primary School.

Like so many of you, we see that the school is more than bricks and timetables. It’s where little ones find their feet, where friendships are built, where generations connect.

At CB Fuels, we’re proud to play our part in the community. Whether it’s keeping homes warm or standing with local families when it matters.

We care deeply about the people we serve, and we hope decision-makers listen closely to parents and the wider community before any final step is taken.

Our school, our community’s future matters.
