A lot of ‘tree surgery’ firms seem to have Transits and 150’s, can’t climb, and know nothing about trees.

 

This is not a good thing.

This is sadly the truth, one more won’t hurt.

Hi Ben10, 

I’m in a similar position to you and posted more or less the same question today. Just wanted to ask if you went for it and how you are getting on?

45 is no problem provided your Body Mass Index is under 30. If you like heights, chainsaws, bonfires, anxiety and a lunchtime pasty this is the game for you.

Best bet is to do some NPTC tickets on weekend including aerial / climbing ticket to see if you like heights etc. Then call around to see if you can do some ground work for another co (£70-100pd) , whilst getting some experience with climbing/picking up your own small jobs.

What you need to get going:

NPTC tickets £2000

tools and PPE £5000

Pickup /tipper £5000

Insurance £400

Website £300

Somewhere to offload waste - local tip, farm, (verge/farm gateway - only in a pinch)

 

Best of luck
