Hi, I'm new to this. I am thinking of selling up to 2500t hardwood timber in the south east. Whats the rough going rate at the moment for standing firewood?

This is like when a land owner looks up the FC price indices and sees that whitewood average one year was £15/m3 so they automatically assume they can get that. It doesn't work like that!!!

 

That £15 is based on 95% of the timber being nice clean spruce in scotland on easy to moderate harvesting sites.

 

So when a small parcel comes up on a hellish hillside, needs hand cut, winched to the harvester and forwarded to a stacking area the size of a tennis court, you can forget your £15/m3.

 

Please ignore all the wonderful or otherwise figures that get banded about; a buyer who does a tidy job will get a rate for the product based on what it it is minus the harvesting cost and earning a living and go from there.

I generally pay between £8-£15 per cube for standing timber. The terrian, quality of timber etc determin the price. I gennerally walk away from one quote in four due to owners over inflated value of timber.

Is this for standing firewood?
