If he is a proper awkward geezer he may object to you putting a ladder against it .

You serious??!!
What happens if I just carry on?

Thanks guys.

So if I go and do this on Friday would you notify them again,or just crack on?
Looks like I’ll have to get the triple ladders out

Depends how much of a pain in the arse they are likely to be, if you reckon you could do it off ladders without going on their property and they’re awkward sorts, get on with it without telling them.

Why is the client a bell end? If he doesn’t want the branches over his property, fair enough.

The way he’s going about it.

Anyone with a shred of decency would talk to the neighbour, rather than just getting a contractor in to eat a shit sandwich for him.

 

I do hear you, and Gary.

If the neighbour doesn’t want his tree touched he shouldn’t have planted one so close to the boundary (although I bet he didn’t plant it).

He is probably a colossal bell end as well.

 

Neighbour disputes are the bane of my life, although I like to think I’m pretty good at resolving them.

I just flick my muffs down after pretending I’m Polish.

Its why Mark said a MEUP .  You can touch his tree up to the boundary . If you put a ladder against the trunk it will be his side of the boundary . Only saying what could happen if he is a complete nobber .

Stubby speaks from experience.

The last time he put a ladder up over a boundary line was in a trench in 1916.

You're not legally obliged to forewarn the owner when abating the nuisance, that enshrined (do you like that Mick?) in tort law ( Lemon and Webb)

 

I always try to talk to the owner, particularly when wanting to lean a ladder against the tree, to explain that while they can't stop the pruning everyone wants to be as reasonable as possible.

What happens if I step on a mine Captain Blackadder ?

With neighbours it’s best to fall out as soon as possible, save embarrassment later on.

Tutor at college was unsure whether you could put a ladder anywhere on the tree, being the neighbours property, even parts above the neighbours land.

 

never been able to get a definitive answer from a reliable source.
