Hello everyone ,

This is my first time and have a question that can't find the answer for.

I am a landscape gardener and was asked to cut down 4 small trees, but when i tried to get insured to do the job it asked for a chainsaw liecence, my public liabitly insurance people don't know which one i need and can't find out which one, so over to you kind folk which do i need.

cheers

If your doing upto 200mm on an occasional basis (ie not working in forestry or as a tree surgeon) then Lantra will do. If over 200mm then you need NPTC units 30 & 31

That will be CS 30/31. it will cost you about 400 quid, then you public liabilty may go up. you would be better to pass the job on to someone with experience in felling trees and getting rid of the waste.
