where did i go wrong

You are clearly not competing on a level playing field, perhaps the HSE would be interested in helping the contractor to become more compliant?

 

Possibly , but there again the landowner pays the agents wages, a lot of agents get a percentage of things both on and off estates. They also undergo a lot of training.

I am not condoning the hse issues , just putting another perspective on it.

You would be doing the landowner and his agent a service by helping them prevent on going breaches, that they may not be aware of but could be prosecuted for.

I bet they offered to do it for the free wood They'll pack up when the back garden is full.

Had the same today, had booked the lad who helps me out to come this evening after work to ring up the ash, that I put a pic of in the storm pictures thread, only to get a call off the customer at dinner time to say the local log firm had offered to do it for the timber so she didnt need me, but can I go and repair the fence when they have moved it! I'm more peeved that she told me she wanted to keep all the wood for thier own fire else I would have made the same offer as it is literally round the corner from the yard

Assuming the agent asked the same questions of the 2 lads and checked their paperwork then surely the onus is on them for ppe.

As far aas the timber is concerned 40+ hardwood trees don't have to be very big to yield 25t of firewood, roadside price 1k plus,

This appears to be a different situation to a domestic one.

Realistically being generous £30 t to put the timber to roadside, perhaps the 2 guys are doing it for the wood , if you were the landowner which offer would you take ?

I've just lost a big fat Lawson to a fire wood hunter...ha ha ha!

More power to his elbow I say if he can make that pay!

All leaf and no wood on that one!

The owner even called me to say sorry as he saw the truck pass and felt bad about it.

I've bigger fish to fry and wouldn't miss the money believe me.
