Call for Price

We are happy to offer a log cutting service using our sawmills. We can plank your felled or windblown trees into usable boards which you can take home to season and use yourself.

Logs need to be brought to our site in Edale to achieve this, we aren’t a mobile service, but for large loads we can supply contact details for hauliers who can help move logs. Many customers bring logs on trailers which we can unload on site. If there is any known pieces of metal in the logs we need to know the location of these  to avoid hitting them, a screw or nail etc will cost a blade.

The costs for this are £75.00 per hour of cutting plus blades which are £30.00 each, all plus vat. We can produce good volumes of timber per hour of cutting.

We have a double ended chainsaw mill which is ideal for slabbing or reducing logs to a reasonable size where we can use the bandsaw mill. Between our equipment we can cut logs of any size, we have slabbed diameters up to 6ft in the past, but smaller logs 24″ diameter and less are better to mill as they sit straight onto the bandsaw.

Sawmill Services

We are happy to offer a professional sawmilling service from our site in Edale, Derbyshire. Whether you have a single log from a garden tree or a larger quantity of timber from woodland management, estate work or tree surgery operations, we can convert your logs into usable timber to your requirements.

Using our chainsaw mill and bandsaw mill, we can produce everything from live edge slabs and wide boards through to beams, posts and timber cut to specific dimensions. Milling your own logs is often an excellent way to make use of quality timber that would otherwise become firewood, while retaining the character and provenance of the original tree.

Logs are milled at our yard in Edale and can be brought to us by trailer or suitable transport. For larger quantities we can often recommend local hauliers to assist with moving timber to site.

Our double-ended chainsaw mill is ideal for slabbing larger logs and reducing oversized timber ready for the bandsaw mill. Between the two machines we can process virtually any size log, having previously milled timber over 6ft in diameter. Smaller logs of around 24″ diameter and below are generally best suited to the bandsaw mill, allowing efficient production of boards and sections.

We regularly mill a wide range of species including oak, ash, sycamore, beech and other native hardwoods. Timber can be cut to maximise yield, produce live edge slabs, create beam stock, or generate boards suitable for furniture making, joinery and general construction projects.

Suitable For

  • Felled and windblown trees
  • Estate and woodland management projects
  • Tree surgeons and arborists
  • Furniture makers and joiners
  • Oak framing and construction timber
  • Live edge slab production
  • Custom cut timber and beams

If there is any known metal within a log, such as nails, screws or fencing wire, please let us know beforehand as this can damage blades and affect cutting costs.

If you would like advice on a particular log or project, please get in touch. We are always happy to discuss the best way to mill your timber and achieve the most useful yield from each log.
