How much to dismantle this...

[kevinjohnsonmbe]

Kevin, customer says it has a bracket fungus, plus I recon it might be blocking the morning sunlight.

No chance of just doing a reduction then?

 

Looks Cornish??

[edbol]

Its Powys, Wales... reduction is an option, but they want rid.

Nah, I'd want 850 for getting it down, another 250 for shutdown, on the condition I got the wood. Sell the wood to Bob for 200 and sub Stevie to do the job at his easy hours work for 100 quid.

 

I'll be in the pub.

 

Simples.

That's the "Alan Sugar" spirit.......

 

Did a little job Tuesday, as is often the case, the neighbour asked for a quote on a job for them. Told them to expect "thick end of £1500" before I do any detailed costings. Turns out, they've had a quote for £400!

 

I NEED to know who's working at those rates so that I can sub them in and retire to Corfu!!

IMO in a rural setting like that reduced trees are incongruous and plain daft.

Client wants it out, no TPO, end of story. End of tree.

£420.00 +vat shouldn't take all day

[Mark Bolam]

The devil is in the detail.

I reckon it's bigger than it looks.

 

Decking it in a day shouldn't be a problem (or an hour for Stevie), and separating the cord from the brash, but how small does the cord need to be? Is a jumbled pile pretty much anywhere ok?

 

I'm happy to pop over and give a proper written quotation for £2k cash and 48 cans of Stella (Le Grandes, mind. 440ml's are devaluing our industry).

id put a couple of days for two people, as theres a lot of crown to stack and that trunk that looks like it will blunt a saw in no time and would need to be cut bloody small to be managable for a homeowner, plus id say two on the ground would be more efficient.

shame to loose it tho.

Shutdown not required the 2 tree lengths is if your felling it, if dismantling then a distance of 9 meter is what your looking for. At 9 meters (drip line to pole, or in this case i would go for the stay wire) your outside of the proximity zone and dont need to even tell the power company.

 

two men, a days work £500/600 i would say, crack on.

[Frankie Lawrence]

Can't belive some folk are saying a whole day for that! I reckon it is half a days work sounds like they want it cheap so make small brash piles where ever it lies id imagine it's mostly cut and chuck so not much cutting for groundie... chuck the wood in a pile rung up and get the cash.

If you do it let us know how it goes. Looks big to me and that fence is going to be lucky to survive unscathed..? better still make a video of fast dismantle so I can learn summat
