im not sure weather its just me but there seems to be so many wanabe surgeons starting up that think if they buy a £70 saw from B&Q and a ladder, with no experience no tickets think they can do our job! there's been a few jobs that we were ment to have done and lost to thes wannabe's doe to them been cheaper-well they would be not the right gear no insurance no tax no nothing!

 

is there any one else having thes problems?

Seen them come, and seen them go, seems to be a fact of life. Live and let live, just concentrate on running your business 110%

"Cowboys" are highly skilled workers tending cattle on ranches, and should not be confused with the unprofessional numpties that you're referring to...!! ;-D

I had to go to an alotment to finish a poplar that some numptys had started with they aid of said B&Q C/saw and ladder they were meant to be doing a 30% reduction but some how this was enterpreted as a reduction of 1/3. I got the phone call once they had cut all the easy bits, they only thing i could do was top the whole thing as they had done so much damage, it was so bad the only way i could work on the tree safely was to spike it.

Lol welcome to my world M8

 

They do come and go but more are coming than going here

 

Hard to concentrate on your own business when it is getting taken from under you imo

[treeratclimber]

i now what ya mean about more coming than going about 5 have just set up round me and the work they carry out is of a very poor standard, in fact think my dog could do better lol

[log supplier]

its the same in all trades.. they come and go...

best to just focus on what your doing, keep yourself or comany up and running, and when the b+q bandits f4ck up, hopefully they'll ring you...

 

just grin and bear it, as every dog has its day...............

There will always be clients who are willing to take a chance on whoever is cheapest, and there will always be those who want a quality job. The art of sucess is finding those who will pay a little more for the real thing.
