30ft fir trees

[Mjk86]

Hi I have a fir tree out back of my new house I was looking for a price to take it down and remove it. I had a local guy round and price he gave was pretty steep. Could any give me a rough price??

now if it was a highly prized black walnut..........

Strung the local guy up he was looking for 900 +vat.

 

All joking aside.....

 

He's the only one (apart from yourself) that's actually seen it.

 

Mick punted at £480. A bit flippantly, I doubled that since it looks like 2 not 1. If it were 1, £480 might be fair & reasonable (from an armchair), doubling up probably isn't very scientific but, in reality, £480 x 1 ½ would't be unreasonable.

 

It's probably possible to get it done cheaper, but you know where that's going...

Has anyone offered to do it for the wood yet?

 

TBH, it doesn't look like that much of a job, £500-600

:001_smile:Behave Kevin! I wasn't being flippant, just giving a competitive price if it was near me,

2 or 1 is much of a muchness, once you're there it doesn't make much difference. One 3.5 tonner of chip, one of logs, it's not technical, it's just logistics.

I meant I was being flippant not YOU

Ahhh, time for bed I think then, night all.

I reckon I've got another 45 mins & 2 small malts first!

Is it being done now or in the summer, could make a difference to some…..

A valuable and considered contribution as usual....
