Ripped off by tree surgeons

Sometimes "silence is (truly) golden" eh? [emoji5] ...perhaps I need to review the scheme standards [emoji3]
 
Hoping yer well..

Hi Paul... Does that mean you’ll also consider an ARBAC standard for ‘midnight ring-barking’ as well as ‘economy topping’ services.
If you can’t beat them may as well join them!

I can't see why anyone is having a go at this fella..  the bloke who came round was taking the mick and he knew it..   the fella wanted his tree chopped at the red marks, seems straight forward to me.. turn up, two cuts and away you go..  150 for half hrs work..  

 

I'd like to know how people come to pricing jobs..   as far as I'm concerned it aught be pretty straight forward..

 

One climber 150 or there abouts..  one groundie, 70/80..   cost of getting shut of tree?  this comes under how long is a piece of string.. 

 

So considering the job at hand, that tree should cost no more than a couple of hundred on a good day..   if the farmer stands in as a groundie, he saves 70/80 quid...

 

 

 

 

Are you a professional tree surgeon?

A gardener with a rope........ proud of it.

 

And, Mr Bullman, how does one quote a job?...    climber for the day? groundie for the day..  everything else is all about the aggro of doin it, shifting it...

 

That prick who goes about pricing a grand then subbing it is the real villain if your asking me, wants flogging within the proverbial inch for taking the piss out of customers and his subcontractors..

 

He and people like him are the real reason people are wary of tree surgeons.  evertime I do a job they have to be remeasured I ain't gonna run off without moving the rubbish..
