cord/round wood prices

[woody woodpecker]

Hi All

just wondering what you guys think I should be paying for mixed hardwood,

processor size loads, last load 32 cubic metres = £2520 inc vat, gone up £300 on last years price per load. what prices are you paying for hard and soft wood loads. we are based in devon if that makes any difference.

I think we may be looking for a different supplier any suggestions (8 wheeler and dray only) as no artic axcess.

Thanks chris:confused1:

Hi we are about to start a 8 week job in the next few days all the timber is spoken for from that job, but we have a four week job strait after 36/40 ton maybe slightly lower quality but ok for firewood market, oak, berch and some ash 8/15 inch dia.

I know my brother wants between 40/50 a ton for it at roadside east Cornwall.if that's of any help...?

Jesus that does sound a lot, £78 inc vat or £65 exc vat per cube surely doesnt leave much profit?! I wouldnt bother at that. Im currently working on each cube sold costing me

£20-£30 in timber.

 

Was offered some cord recently, delievered in at over £60 ton. Thats too much for me.

I've got some large (13-30inch diameter) oak cord in yard priced at £40 a tonne (priced to sell quick) nice and straight woodland grown. Email [email protected] for details and pic's if interested.

 

Based in Gloucestershire, buyer to arrange own haulage preferably.

Cost of cord a ton, £10 as standing timber, £15 for cutters, £5 to extract. Sell at £45 a ton leaves £15 ton to cover the cost of renewing machines and vehicles, oil filters, breakdowns, premises, insurances, wages and lost work days because of weather. So i see cord wood as under priced and you are selling your hardwood firewood to cheap!

we get £35 a ton for mixed softwood chipwood, but we are going to start turning a lot of the softwood chipwood into kiln dried firewood, other wise it,s not worth cutting chipwood.
