Wood milling job Highgate N6

[jtrinder]

Hi, I have three sections of Oak trunk measuring about 2.5 foot wide by 4 foot long in my garden that need cutting up and removing. Ideally I would like to mill them into planks so they can be used to make something later, however, only access is through the house which means any equipment would need to come through the front door. If all else fails I will need it cutting in to fire wood if I can't get it milled. Needs doing in the next two weeks. I should say they have been sitting uncovered for a year so I don't know if they are now no good to use other than for fire wood? Can anyone help?

Many thanks

what kind of money are you looking to spend to get them milled

[jtrinder]

I have no idea. What are the price ranges for a job like this?

[justin131]

£200 a day is what i charge for an alaskan and a 880

That seems quite cheap, milling is hard going and uses a lot of fuel. Is that an all in price or are you adding expenses on top or taking boards as part payment?

[justin131]

if i go through alot of chain i ask the price of a new one

[justin131]

maybe i should be asking more thinking about it

Do a search on here, I'm sure there's been a couple of threads on milling rates. 👍

ok looking at what other people are saying £200 is way to low

You want to be closer the £300-00 mark really I would say.
