Anyone near Coulsdon, Surrey who could do a bit of chipping?

[brewx1]

Hi folks,

I'm in Birmingham and have been asked to do some work for relatives in Coulsdon, probably late September-ish. Just wondering if any of you near there might be interested in chipping and dealing with the waste?

Not 100% sure of quantities, but I would only imagine an hour or so and a transit load of chip, mostly yew I think. I'd have stuff stacked and ready to chip and be there to help.

It'll save me dragging equipment down there and hunting for a waste site. If you might be interested let me know and give me an idea of price. I know that's a bit difficult as I don't really know what I'm dealing with yet, but a rough idea of a minimum charge, hourly charge/charge per load would be useful.

Time would be quite flexible over a few days as I will be staying there for a bit.

 

Cheers, Alex

At one time one of the Cancer Charity's would come and collect Yew cuttings for drug production, it may not still be the case, maybe others will chip in and let us know.
