Bark & wood chips

Practicality Brown offers an all-encompassing range of Bark and Wood Chip derived products for wood fuel, playground, mulching, and surfacing uses.

Please view our Product Guide.

Wood Fuel Chip

With nearly 25 years experience of commercially producing purpose made wood chip for both amenity and fuel markets, Practicality Brown was well placed to offer graded biomass fuel chip to the rapidly expanding biomass fuel market.

We now offer G50 specification biomass wood chip in the South East with just in time delivery in varying load sizes to suit the boiler installation.  We select raw wood chip suitable for grading into G50 , with material that does not meet our strict criteria being sold to power station outlets around the country.

All our wood fuel products are produced from virgin clean timber thus guaranteeing emission requirements in controlled areas and ensuring that the clean wood ash can be either used as fertiliser or disposed of in the normal waste stream.

Practicality Browns's client base is essentially medium size boiler installations such as schools, large retail outlets, community heating projects, hospitals and large private houses, with annual requirement of between 100 and 2000 tonnes.

Whole tree wood chip is purposely stored and moisture controlled to provide boilers with consistent quality fuel.  If you are interested in this service, please email us an enquiry stating annual tonnage, chip specification, type and size of storage silo, location and maximum size vehicle access.
