    <p>Hi Jez</p>

    <p> </p>

    <p>The container is 35 cube - the wood is ringed to your spec length and loaded and part stacked but it is too risky to stack the whole thing - we try and make sure there are no gaps by getting in and levelling during the filling process.. You get a big pile - it is tipped in your yard. I supply a number of small merchants who want quality ash and do not have a processor. A container is £1300 plus delivery - there is no rubbish. there is sometimes a little cherry or birch but it is 95% straight ash between 20-50 cm diameter. Delivery to you would I think be around £200-250 but I would have to check with my transport company. May even be less we are in WD4. </p>

    <p>Would you like me to get a quote?</p>

  2. Hi I could supply a container load of quality ash ringed up to your required size - easy to split. PM me for prices for delivery if you are interested.
  3. Granberg for me from Chainsawbars every time - there are some of us who are just not able to use a file well!
  4. Hi Alycidon I do some wholesale container work in the UK - does your 54 crates equal a filled 20 foot container? These usually hold about 35 cube but shipping containers might be larger. Amazing price per container if that's correct for kiln dried. Dave
  5. Hi I have been running a Biomass boiler to heat a large detached house with good standard of insulation since 2005/6... Really sick about not being a legacy system for RHI without swapping out the boiler which I refused to do. Early adopters often lose out but there we are. I think there were only a handful in the country when we installed ours. I have a 50Kwatt Baxi log boiler with 2500 litre thermal store and the usual Laddermat controls from Foundation Firewood. The unit is in a garage which holds a buffer wood store of about 9 cubic meters. The original oil boiler is still there for emergency use when the buffer is low but has only been used a couple of dozen times in nearly 10 years. Operationally we burn about 30-40 loose cube a year of mostly hardwood from tree surgeons, forestry companies and ours and neighbours gardens. The wood is processed by ourselves and stored in Heras fencing bays with tarpaulins - fantastic drying system. Currently running 3 years old wood about 15-18% in the bays and 13/15% in the garage which provides final drying before burning. Boiler has to be filled once a week in summer for hot water only and once a day for central heating in this current warm spell. When winter really sets in it is loaded 2-3 times a day. Only repairs I have had are two sets of replacement fire box units and seals which are really a maintenance item. Obviously the boiler needs cleaning and de-ashing once a month or so. It order to improve efficiency I have a Grundfos variable speed pump and Honeywell CH Zone electronic radiator valves for zoning the areas of the house we are actually using - both are pricey but give a great deal of control. In rough terms we have replaced a £4-5000pa oil bill with about £1000pa of wood and a lot of hard work but had a lot of fun along the way - can recommend it particularly with what I read about the RHI. If anyone would like to discuss our experience let me know. I also own a large woodland and can supply bulk containerised firewood if required PM me for info.
  6. I contacted Gerry and he and his team did a good job for me earlier this year - they felled and removed the butts and we cleared and extracted. Prompt payment and easy to work with.
  7. Sorry Guys - first post errors. my name is Dave on 07769642555. They are located in Kings Langley one mile M25 J20. Many thanks
  8. Two pieces of Beech average 1.1 and 1.15 meter diameter and 3.8 and 3.9 meter length. Felled 18 months extracted to flat car park can be easily milled on site or ample artic access. About 102 hoppus each. Make me an offer - no branches absolutely straight logwood.
  9. Hi I have about 100 cube of ash, oak and beech 9 months felled logged into lengths ready for splitting collect or can deliver in container quantities.
