Have you got an aerial rescue working with you?

[Tom2020]

You have just got done training and your taking job on right away, Fair enough people need to make money and live. But your 90% more likely to have an accident. Please tell me you will spend the £100 or so to get a climber in. before things go round i dont know your experience but seeing you did your 38/39 last week you have no idea on how that tree will cope if it is safe to climb and how to carry it out. training is only to get you off the ground doing this job requires experience.

oh yes, another climber will be there. Well my friend said it will always be there so I can put it off for a few weeks, pass the assessment, do a few other jobs etc then do it. Im not under any pressure, but still need guideance on how every bills people.

Thats a mornings work for two blokes imo if i had blokes on for me telling me it would take a day they would be going down the road clutching there p45 .

Get there at 8 leave at 1 with a cheque for 375 job done but as other have said take a punt on it with the price you think if your still going this time next year your doing something right if your not going well at least you tried.

 

for experianced guys half day no probs new to the job 1-2 day quite possibly we all have to start somewhere i'd definatly have three guys there with it being roadside

I think he'll do the purple one first...

 

3 guys, no more than a day. Presume youll be rigging it all down, no cut and chuck...?

If what I see is right, the ivy clad tree will be a pain in the backside, make sure that it's growing out of wood and hasn't turned the tree to soil.... I went up a limb a while ago to get a line on and it was barely holding up, when we got it on the floor it was rotten as a pear and the top metre had gone back to nature inside the ivy...

 

Nice little job. Don't forget risk & method!

[Minotaur]

I can see both sides to the opinions/arguement here - if you've only got a couple of weeks work then you shouldn't really be doing the job, certainly not without another experienced hand to guide you, and be the second rescue climber.

However, we all have to start somewhere, but best if you get that experienced person on board, and maybe look for a job with an established firm.

 

If you don't have the experinced person to call on, then approach an established firm to do the job and keep a few quid and work with them for the experience.

 

Just my tuppence worth!

Self preservation is the name of the game. I think it may be left for a while. Thanks for everyones voices!

Anyone who says you need to have a climber to access if those tress are climbable is having a laugh as much as the lads saying it will take 3 weeks. Stick a price on it, make it cheap get the job and do your best. I know flow are gonna say you can't access from pics... But if they are still up after the weather we have had they are sound.

 

Worst case scenario... You hit the telephone lines. They aren't electric and won't hurt you, deny all knowledge and the phone company will end up repairing them for nothing.

Get an experienced bloke in, add what you want to earn on top of what you need to pay him, and bill that. You'll make a few bob, you'll get to observe what goes on, you can ask questions and get advice, and learn from it.
