Looking for milling help South Wales - Pontypool area

[FlyingAlbatross]

I have 5 Ash trees which have been cut on site about 2 months ago that I would like to have some/all milled (open to some milled and left and some taken by miller if desired, or only milling the better-quality ones). 2 are pretty big ones about 4ft x 10ft ish and three smaller logs about 3ft x 8 ft ish.

 

I'm struggling to find a mobile miller - seems the ones i've been recommended have retired or are too far from me - i'm NP4 just north of Pontypool on a main road, easy access, logs next to gravel drive.

 

Purpose of milling is eventual self-use and will be dried on site in outbuilding here. Not sure if it's easier to move to a mill and have milled there (I'm near Newport which has a few) or have milled on site. If transport was sub £500-ish then it might be more sensible to bring to an actual mill?

 

Any contacts or recommendations as to mobile millers, or possibly log transports?

Hey bud! i run a chainsaw mill business further north in Mid wales (Llanidloes) its about 1hr40m to pontypool from me, its abit of a stretch but if you're still struggling maybe we can make something work. I charge £350 a day

Off topic, cycled to and stayed in Llaniloes last week. Loved the high street and wool market, was a lovely billhook in the shop on the high street but was shut on sunday.

Andrew Hewitt is south Herefordshire based. I’ve done some milling with him before and he’s a nice guy. I’ve no idea whether he travels as far as you, but you’d be within an hour I’d guess.

I could mill it but stuck for time at the moment if it's needed done quickly and only half hour away.
