D-Day Pricing! I'll fight them on these beeches, victory at £100?! Kiss mine...

[dangerous brian]

I,d ground for penfold .

[john@arbtech]

£100 per tree????????how desperate are you for the work?

[tommer9]

5 trees can be crashed down, 4 have to be rigged. There is NO WAY that can be done for that price. The tin pot customer is blagging it.

[TimberCutterDartmoor]

never mind the customer, why is he devaluing our industry? a **** ***** would want more

 

Flippin right. Turns out he was quoted £800 to remove all 9 trees. Hence he wanted to break even by selling the wood for the same! £89 per tree; 100 ft and average 40" girth, car parks, sheds, one house, fence, and fine lawns as the DZ under those 4. Rickerdiculous. Oh and that didn't include any wood in the deal either. £800 to sectionally fell 9 BIG beeches, chip all the brash, tidy up and be happy? I wish I knew which to553r priced this. Perhaps, like you say - bloke probably made the figure up in his head. Thinking back, the place was struggling; letters missing from the front entrance signage for ages, generally run down facilities.

Thats because they have been being so tight on their payments they can only afford twits who do crap cowboy jobs:thumbdown:

The client is trying to drag you down, walk!

[18 stoner]

Cant understand why this is such a big issue;

 

Just give him YOUR price and let him get back to you:001_rolleyes:

[Mr Ed]

I dont care how many staff you have and how big your chipper is, there is no way you can rig down 5 of those trees and bash out the others on that site in one day. There just isnt the room.

 

Reckon Me and Thee have done worse Pete
