200 ton mixed hardwood available

[nick channer]

dont have a log fire at my home... several tree surgeons around here inc one who rents a yard from us gives it away to the biomass guys who come in couple times year and chip it for free and take it away... i'll drop you a 25 ton bulker load of poplar and willow once i get enough of it.. all i want is the haulage..

i no i dont do the volumes of firewood you do nick, but could you not mix some of the pop in with loads once its dry? I've got some bone dry stuff that burns a treat, doesnt spit and i chuck a few armfuls in with each load

could do, but where do you stop.. could throw some conifer or pine in aswell.. trouble is round here my 2 or 3 biggest competitors all sell and strongly highlight the fact that they only sell ash and beech... they buy it all in in that form.. i buy lot wood in but also have many 100 loads of wood that have derived from my own treework... many customers dont get back to me vwhen i tell them its mixed hardwood and not all ash or beech..

fair enough, i see your problem now.

Could you offer different loads at different prices??

[MR TREEBUS]

either people talk a lot on here and do nothing about it or they think this must be a wind up delivered in at £50 a ton... someone was asking £50 a ton roadside not many weeks ago for similar stuff and had dozens replys in minutes...!!

 

 

Just wish you were closer Nick, i would definately have a load

you couldnt sell a metre of softwood for £20 round here... the chiltern's are well known for there beech woodlands.. not that theres any around here now that havent been cleared out already.. i've neen trying to talk my dad into putting some sort of boiler in to heat house with.. we have a courtyard of 2 biggish farm houses, smaller 2/3 bed barn conversion and small 1 bed single story barn conversion.. all are rented out except one he lives in obviously and all are heated on diesel.. i'm sure if we could get a boiler big enough the other houses would pay to heat his house with a profit..and burn all softwood and willow, poplar. horse chestnut that goes on the fire in yard.. not to mention the 100's of pallets that come from the industrial units we let... it is a waste your right...

They're fussy buggers near you then!

 

Around here I offer mixed wood (hard and soft) which will include poplar and willow for £85 a cube, £100 for mixed hardwood, £120 just split oak. And most always go for the mixed wood.

 

But it is amazing how it differs from area to area....

[nick channer]

a cubic metre of beech goes for 70 or 80 quid round here.. i sell 1.3 metres mixed hardwood for £80..

That's a very good price. I do get a lot of people moaning about the prices I charge but then I get a lot of repeat business from previous happy customers....
