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

But he could have quoted £450 for the job and got a £250 bonus...

 

What if the saw mill rejected his timber as rubbish, shook or full of metal

 

At £450 he may not have won the job

At the moment the mill in this area will come and take away timber only if its worth their while and dont want to pay anything for it

If people allow them to behave like that they will!!

 

I would tell the to go forth and multiply.

 

I have guys who will come and take timber from my yard and pay by the hoppus foot, they even came to site at 1AM on a Sunday night/Monday morning, to a road closure AND paid me.

It having the numbers and knowledge of who to ring.........another good thing about this site

I have to agree with Huck on this- given the problems i have had getting oak, and i understand a lot of hardwood is becoming harder to find due to the demand for firewood giving quick returns, and i have been to all the major suppliers of bulk timber that i can find numbers for, then if mills arent prepared to pay then they SHOULD be told to f-off.

£100 a tree just to knock them down and break up the crown but leave it all on site would be a competitive price but I bet you would still make money.

Dead Elms on an A road near a city center, they shut the road from 8pm till 5am.

 

We could not completely block the road, as we had to allow emergency vehicles through, unfortunate lots of taxi driver felt they were also a vital service:thumbdown:

 

No idea what the TM cost, we were working for the council and they sorted all that.
