Tree Climber Prices

[handymidi]

Hi, I have had quite a bit of work come in recently where I have required the assistance of some climbers.

So I put a couple of adverts out there to help on my jobs. 

 

I was surprised to realise that people are now leaving University to become Climbers!! 

It appears that the mean salary for lopping a few Trees is around £65ph and as much as £180ph in some cases.  

And that is for unqualified Climbers too, that come with no more than a rope and a rusty ladder. 

 

This has forced to me to re-evaluate my own circumstance and look to start climbing trees.

 

What on earth.

Those figures are a bit suspect. £180ph? Also, most climbers don't come with a rusty ladder, too heavy.

I'd bring two ropes and a galvanized ladder for those hourly rates...

I’d suspect they are chancers rather than genuine climbers!

Depending on experience and complexity of jobs, where you are in the country etc, anywhere from 150 to 250/300 per day would be more representative.

Do those rates come with the gf experience as someone is getting the shaft.

I'd suspect robot post.
