    Most common thing I see is over pruned trees , causing a mass of watershoots, or on the other extreme zero prunning/neglected. Anyone got experiece renovating over pruned trees? I think they are harder to do than neglected ones.

    Seen similar on a local tarmac cycle path in 100's of places like that. Its being the same for decades with no repair work done, doesn't get alot worse (only gradually) of seem to harm the trees much as is probably small % of the total root area. Trouble with bridges/raised decking etc is that they require more ongoing maintenance. Local Fens have miles of of wooden decking boardwalks, they don't & last cost loads to maintain as boards rot fast and not very eco friendly imo...

    In Sweden & other nordic countries apparently heat pumps are really common now even though they have loads more wood than UK, and colder temps mean a heat pump is less efficient than in the UK.

    Look at the local met office weather stations for average monthly temps: https://www.metoffice.gov.uk/public/weather/climate Then you can guesstimate the middle during an average year for different locations dependent on the temps/ which month etc you first you light the stove at etc.....

    Summary from the results of alot of studies: https://www.telegraph.co.uk/gardening/tools-and-accessories/biochar-its-notall-black-and-white/

    Never understood the difference between biochar and charcoal. Sometimes biochar is called activated charcoal. supose to have more surface area or something for soil microbes to inhabit than regular charcoal. Some infos...... https://www.permaculture.co.uk/articles/how-charge-biochar Iv'e tried to research it bit its very hard too wade through all the bullshit to find the real science behind it. Like said already I think the original idea comes from the creation of terra preta in the Amazon by the natives. Biochar costs alot more than regular charcoal becasue its trendy amongst yoghurt weavers who, bleat on about mung beans and permaculture design courses.

    8 tone bags of woodchip (kind of surprised they bagged it up as bags cost money) 8 x £100 = £800 worth of woodchip & £50 worth of logs so job only cost £150 https://www.travisperkins.co.uk/Hallstone-Hardwood-Play-Chips-Bulk-Bag-0-6m³/p/215760

    Echo saws now also, bit pricey the "pro" version though they have cheaper one also "Pro" https://www.echo-tools.co.uk/products/battery-products/dcs-1600/ Will 50v has more torque? agianst 36v. Oddly the cheaper one is 58v

    I'd say unrealistic to expect alot more logs from 3 small trees. £1000 sounds alot of £ for three small trees that look like they could be felled from ground without any climbing in less than 30 minutes (Though maybe picture is deceptive) Are you saying they stole some of the logs? Also logs don't look freshly cut they look abit old? & why the left over brushwood if they also chipped alot of the logs?
