First climbing job.

[RobG 86]

Good Evening,

 

I hope are all well.

 

I have been asked to quote for my first climbing job,  this is to remove broken branches and Ivey. I’m not sure on pricing and how much time I should factor in. 
 

I’m aware this is a very individual thing which can vary greatly depending on overheads and day rates but just looking for a bit of guidance so I don’t under or over sell myself.

 

I have attached some photos to give an idea.

 

Any help appreciated.

 

Many Thanks

Rob

What Ivy are we looking at?

 

How are you dealing with the waste, truck and chipper?

Ivy is a pain in the backside that's really hard to estimate, do you think they'd take working on an hourly rate?

 

On the other hand it's all good experience, don't sweat too much about the price. Some you win some you lose.

Why are you taking on your own jobs when you are clueless?

 

Work for someone else first, then you’ll learn.

Sorry I should have said the dead Ivy in the yew tree. Some one has previously cut it but not removed it.

 

Waste I am having to pay at local recycling centre, logs/any suitable for burning they want to keep. Currently doing to this way as it is a new service I am beginning to offer as I complete my courses and buy equipment, I already have a garden maintenance business so looking to expand and this is something I have demand for and interest in.

They might take an hourly rate I will consider it.

 

Thanks for the advise.
