1 hours chipping near Worcester

The key point...IF YOUR IN THE AREA.......its little wonder so many people have no work with these attitudes.....£50 is £50 and IF YOUR IN THE AREA sounds like a nice way of boosting a days proffits

By the sounds of it its actualy 10 mins chipping and so that would be an hours job including chating and a cup a tea! So 50 squid sounds ok to me to fit in at end of a a day, the extra 50 quid for the day could pay for the prossie at the end of a hard week!

Thats what I was getting at earlier, except for the prossie bit.

I agree 6 hours was a bit steep. As most have said 2 hours is a usual minimum in this line of work to take into account the cost of the kit. You are asking for a favour and I hope you get it done. You are not doing anyone a favour, thats what I mean by grace, your "offer" is actually a request for help not an offer.

 

No Rupe.

I'm not asking for a favour. I am offering work. A favour is something you do for a mate for free or at cost. I don't ask people I've never met for favours. I'm offering an opportunity to someone, to make some quick cash. Which it would be if it was at the end of the day and they were in the area.

I think the problem here is that you have described the job as an hours chipping, as others have said an hours chipping is a lot of work and makes a lot of chip and an hours’ worth of brash stacked is a daunting pile.

 

The quantity you described later in the thread is more like 5 or 10 minutes worth.

 

If I were local I would take your money and spend it on a good breakfast for the lads.

I will put it up again, just incase it was skipped over...... send me a pm and i should be able to sort something out for you as we are not that far away from you.

I think your absolutely right. But having never used a commercial chipper I thought it would be prudent to over estimate the time scale so as not to cause any ill feelings on the day. If someone had have asked the question I think this may have turned out to be a much less entertaining thread

[Rupe]

In that case you should be asking what someone would charge you for this work. Take the cheapest price and say thanks. Its not that great of an opportunity is it, clearing up someone elses mess?

 

What you have found then is that £50 is cost price, virtually free, and a favour if you can find someone to do it.

 

This is what we have all been trying to explain. £50 is for when you chip a pile of rubbish from the garden next door to where you are working.

 

This discussion is helping to explain the value of what we do.

Agreed, thats what why I explained my version of what constitutes an hours job.
