Price this up please.

Please give me your opinions on this job I have put a pic. It's just to remove the leaning part of the tree down to base, note there is a power cable running through a small road below and a telephone wire on the left bank under the tree. I'm thinking 4 guys one day.

What price do people think I think £600

Thanks guys

Btw two of the guys are just casual brash dragging labourers oh and all chips left on site

Sorry forgot pic before

I take it that 2 of the guys are on traffic control? If the chip is being left on site and it wasn't next to a road then a climber and groundie should be able to smash that out in a day!? I would put £350 on it but depends on where you are in the country. I would also be inclined to get a TM company in, as if anything goes wrong you might be in hot water, obviously the price of TM would be on top of the £350.

No chance of a tractor and pull it over into the field ?

Why would you post that if it wasn't next to a road then a climber and a grounder could smash it out in a day? That's like saying if there wasn't a wall or road there or the power cable and if you had a whole tree chipper to take it in one go then the job could be done in 2 hours. The guy has posted for opinions on price for the job as described. Sure we will all have different ways of doing it as we all operate different set ups but no one can alter the situation of the job or it hazards.

I was trying to ascertain what the other 2 guys would be doing? If they are there to control traffic then it would be a more sensible idea to get some TM on the job. Just humble opinion and I apologize for offering it!

Unfortunately no re tractor I know pic doesn't do it justice but it's very tight for space between both cable on both sides it's defo an all day job piece by piece a lot of it being rigged out. So price wise am I close?

And yes two guys traffic control

How are you going to control traffic?

Can't make out the power cable in the picture, but will you need the relevant authorisation to be working near it?
