If dealing with councils, you must understand you need proper insurance and tickets, and safety walks before and a lot more, tell them what will happen with the wood afterwards... your 80 pound job would most likely be a 600 pound job in reality, and thats just normal.. It's how it is. Its fine.

 

I have just started dealing with .gov and in my humble opinion they are brilliant, but you do indeed need the higher insurance / qualifications and have a good understanding and be positive towards health and safety laws.

Whilst I'd agree, almost unreservedly, that customer awareness, knowledge and the requirement for contractors to demonstrate compliance ARE very relevant and necessary, where it all falls over (often quite unnecessarily - and almost invariably when poorly or over zealously applied by public sector or those not spending their own money) is that, as you quite accurately highlight, is that it turns a simple £80 job into, as you say, a £600 job.

 

This type of behaviour is rife amongst "organisations" but would simply not be tolerated in the private sector where money talks and 🐂💩🚶*♀️(noting that the construction industry probably sits somewhere in the middle)
