Turn your windblown or felled trees into useable timber
with our lightweight mobile chainsaw saw milling service
Mobile chainsaw milling
Covering Cumbria, Lancashire and surrounding areas
We can turn your downed trees into valuable live-edge slabs, boards, beams and posts for your own use or sale.
​
With our lightweight and portable Alaskan chainsaw mills, we can come to you and mill your logs where they are, without the need for big machinery.
Chainsaw milling is the art of turning logs into usable timber, with the use of a high-powered professional chainsaw combined with specialist milling equipment. We use this to salvage trees from becoming firewood, or simply rotting away, by turning them into valuable live-edge slabs, boards, beams and posts. The process is completed on-site, without the need for big machinery to move the wood.
​
If you have trees you'd like to turn into timber, we can help.
​
We can also either advise or assist with the stacking, stickering and strapping of milled timber, as well as sealing end-grain and spraying with insecticide if needed.
​
We can mill logs up to:
-
6'3" or 193cm wide
-
29 feet or 9m long
​
Our mobile milling starts at £325 per day. The number of days needed varies depending on the log's species and sizes, access and assistance, and dimensions to be milled.

"I had a cedar log which was too good to cut for firewood. Jack helped make it into useful slabs which I hope to use for garden furniture.
Jack is prompt and professional and helped by explaining the best method to make the most of the tree."
— Jamie, Woodworx
"Jack is very personable and a pleasure to have had on site.
He's knowledgeable and professional, being very realistic and honest about what we could get out of the timber, while maximising yield.
He also offered great advice on how to store and dry the milled wood."
— Theo
