matt,bloke i talked to you about too busy at the mo as well,will give you a bell in sept provided work aint so manic!! Good luck, there s gotta be some decent south west climbers that aint flat out surely

[gibbon]

Thanks john. A lad that worked for me then moved to nz is coming back for a short while. Could still do with another guy a few days a week so give me a call if you have any spare days

[pward]

Must admit I've seen a boom small one man bands round the villages that I live in and there is plenty of work going around

Maybe there's just a shortage of good guys. Too many greenhorns...

Hi mistahbenn, the problem is as you say, there are hundreds of so called Tree surgeons thanks to all the local collages Bicton , KMC and Cannington, to name a few, most are 'greenhorns' all will work for peanuts and so the value of a truly talented climber is lost, how many out there are prepared to pay for an experienced tree surgeon? you can have 6 hrs of my time for £180 or £330 for a 2 man climbing team, 6 hrs only. In all my time i have never known people so desperate, those with the skills should stick to there prices. Those who NEED staff should pay the prices. PS my diary is ok.

Nice one Jesse. Almost tempting enough for my return home.

Thanks Jesse. All well and good, but when businesses are competing for work with all these new guys running around in a hilux there dad bought them, theres not enough money in the pot to pay climbers £180 a day. I would love to pay my staff that but its cuckoo land to expect that for day to day work.

 

I'd be happy to pay that money for a techincal dismantle if you are fast and safe enough. I havent seen any of your work so maybe you could get incontact? I have got a job where there are quite a few trees to take down, including a couple of large ones. Is that price for 6 hours onsite?

£180 a day!

 

You're having a laugh!

Not if he can do twice the work of a 120 climber a day climber.

Carl I'd pay that for large dismantles like the one in your avatar.

 

They don't come round that often though.

Very good point Mat.
