Another Firewood buissness in Kent

[maybelateron]

I have been trading for 20 years, running a small tree surgery firm, doing 90 per cent domestic work. We do sell logs, but domestic arb waste is much more labour intensive to process due to the inconsiderate trees having gnarly crotches, unlike their woodland/forest cousins who just play reach for the sky. I only sell unseasoned logs, and have for years only delivered a minimum load size of 2 cubic metres, as any less is not worthwhile for me.

In more recent times we just put any really awkward bits to one side, then take a load of them to a place along the road who put it through their big Heizohack chipper for biomass. 

I regard our firewood part of the business as something to do when the weather is too bad to be on site, rather than a profit earner in its own right.

I manage to sell all of my deciduous woodchip as garden mulch/chicken run cover etc, and this is more worthwhile than the logs. I sell it at £23 per cubic metre +/- delivery depending on load size and distance.
