Services
Tree Surgery
We are experts in the precision dismantling of large, awkward and dangerous trees, including dismantling with the use of cranes.
All tree surgery is undertaken with modern equipment and techniques, by experienced and qualified operatives.
Nomad specialise in the management of roadside tress, and have years of experience in roadside tree work.
We have worked on the motorways, 'A' roads and back roads.
We understand the risks involved; that every vehicle is a potential risk and a potential target. We have devised safe methods of working in these environments, by using our own traffic lights with a purpose built trailer we can ensure the safety and efficiency of our operations.
Forestry operations
We undertake forestry operations including manual felling, timber extraction with Unimog skidder and forwarding work. We presently work for the Forestry Commission on 'continuous cover' work at Grizedale.
Specialist chipping operations with 16" crane fed 200hp chipper
We operate a Valmet 8950 200 horse power tractor with roof mounted foresteri crane with an 8 meter reach,
This machine runs a 16" Heizohack chipper.
This machine is designed to produce a chip quality suitable for use in wood fuel boilers.We use this machine for site clearance work as well as the supply and processing of timber for wood fuel heating systems.
Mobile saw mill operations
We operate a woodmizer LT40 mobile sawmill that is taken to sites to mill timber for various uses from fencing to furniture.
We also convert timber in our yard from timber removed during our other operations. We believe in low mileage timber. If we can find sustainable local uses for the trees being removed we are adding value to a by-product of our other operations.
This links in with the wood fuel chipper as the saw mill slab wood is stored to be chipped into wood fuel for use in heating systems.
Saw mill saw dust is used for the smoking of fish at Hawkshead Trout farm and Cartmel Valley Game.
Some of our clients include the Lake District National Park Authority, The National Trust, South Lakeland District Council, United Utilities, Forest Enterprise, Capita Dbs, Fountain Forestry as well as many private companies and individuals.
