how much should this job cost

[eggsarascal]

Could anyone help a friend of mine, he's over in australia at the moment and is renting his house out in england, and needs this branch cutting off a eucalyptus, not being an arb man myself, he has asked for an idea of what he should be being charged for the branch removal. As you can see its resting on the roof if the house, and risking tile damage.

 

Sorry about pics, they were on a mobile and on a windy day....

 

 

 

 

 

 

Thanks, Egg.

Oh well, it looks like a couple of hundred of a job

Am I allowed to dive in and say that a tree of that size needs removing (too close to the house, IMHO) and something more suitable putting in its place?

 

Just my opinion - I guess the risk of damage to property depends on the soil conditions.

Is that because you are so far away or is that the going rate for a job like this, i ask this because i want to get a fair idea of the price my mate should be paying.

Thats the going rate

I would have thought £150 tops,if it was round here I would do that for £100,maybe a bit less.

Where in suffolk?
