Forestry biomass
Processing suitable forestry material for biomass fuel or downstream use.
Contract chipping
Contract chipping for biomass and commercial wood fuel projects.
McCauley Wood Fuels provides contract chipping for suitable forestry, biomass, commercial fuel and energy-related projects.
Commercial processing
Commercial chipping requires the right machinery, material and planning.
Contract chipping is not just machinery arriving on site. Output, chip quality, safety, logistics and project economics depend on timber type, presentation, access, weather, haulage, storage and the intended end use of the chip.
Suitable work
Suitable contract chipping applications.
Pulpwood and roundwood
Chipping suitable timber where the material, specification and logistics align.
Energy projects
Processing material for suitable biomass boiler, energy-centre or renewable heat projects.
Commercial stockpiles
Chipping suitable accumulated timber or biomass material for commercial use.
Sawmill or timber residues
Potential processing of suitable residues where specification, contamination and access are appropriate.
Project-based chipping
Contract chipping for suitable one-off or recurring commercial projects.
Suitable
Not domestic garden chipping.
McCauley Wood Fuels focuses on commercial biomass and wood fuel processing. The service is not intended for domestic tree branches, small garden clearances, hedge trimmings, decorative mulch or small private jobs.

Chip quality
Chip quality depends on the input material.
The quality of the finished chip depends heavily on the raw material, presentation and intended specification. Timber size, moisture, contamination, species mix, bark content and handling all influence the final product.

The site matters as much as the chipper.
Efficient contract chipping depends on safe access, machine space, timber presentation, loading arrangement, traffic management, haulage coordination and a clear plan for the finished chip.

End use
Start with the end use.
The intended end use of the chip should be clear before processing begins. Biomass boiler fuel, drying feedstock, power generation, district heating and other uses may require different expectations around particle size, moisture and contamination.

McCauley Wood Fuels is a WFQA certified wood fuel supplier. Contract chipping is supported by the company's wider experience in commercial wood fuel supply, biomass processing and fuel specification.
FAQ
Contract chipping FAQs.
Do you provide domestic garden chipping?
No. McCauley Wood Fuels focuses on commercial biomass and wood fuel processing, not domestic garden chipping or small private branch piles.
What material can you chip?
Suitable material may include forestry biomass, roundwood, commercial timber stockpiles and suitable biomass feedstock. Suitability depends on material type, presentation, contamination risk, site access and intended end use.
Can you chip material for biomass boilers?
Yes, where the material, specification and project logistics are suitable. Fuel quality and boiler requirements should be considered before chipping.
Do you quote fixed output rates?
Output depends on timber type, size, presentation, access, handling arrangement, weather and site conditions. McCauley Wood Fuels does not quote a fixed production rate without understanding the project.
What information do you need to discuss contract chipping?
We need site location, material type, estimated volume, timber presentation, access, intended chip use, required specification, storage or haulage plan and preferred timing.
