Big job, great shots Nick.

 

 

 

Did it fail at the roots or lower stem?

Ivy is a bugger for hiding Kretz.

Failed at the roots, David. The stump is only back in its place because of the crane pulling the main stem up off the flats and back to vertical. Not sure if anyone has done a tree survey for those trees recently but if they had, the state of that stump should have been spotted.

A chance to get some vermiculite granules down between the chimney wall and the liner . Nice work mate .

What does a crane like that cost for the day? How do you decide what size you need, and do they provide the lifting gear?

dig-dug-dan, the crane was £780 inc vat.. a bit more on this job as it was a Sunday. It's a 35 ton crane, which is ideal for most jobs. The main stem pick was slightly over 4 ton.. about the maximum weight for the reach on that occasion. The whole job was £2,640 inc vat. 3 guys, 5 hours.

Have to say, thats a good price on that crane, and essential in those circumstances!
