London prices?

[TIMON]

Unless they are paying day rates perhaps

[QuattroKev]

Access was my first question. Its good.

 

Can find out all about the congestion and other charges as it's all online.

 

London day rates aren't so easily available.

 

Hence the post.

 

I did wonder if the client was calling me to get a cheaper out of town rate

Can Someone help you with a local tip sorry if this has Already been asked just flicking through .

The rate for central London work for a 2 man crew would be between £550 and £900 + vat per day. As others have said I would definitely go and look at the job just build the cost into the job. The last job we had in Kensington we had we were doing nearly £200 per day in parking tickets! It is impossible to price a job from pics, we've had jobs where we have had to cut the brash and bring it up in a lift through to a 500m drag where we put on strimmer harness and tied the brash to us like huskies and you wouldn't have seen that from the nice photo the client sends you!

If the client has lied in his description of the access, parking, ect ect. We will just turn round and chalk it up to experience.

 

Tip is a good point, as he describes it I don't believe it will be more than a load, which can be bought home with us.

Could be a long way to go and the job changes when you get there. If you're that far away maybe see if somebody on here would scope it out for you?

1. Go and look.

2. Once you have looked and are happy with the job you can quote. Start with what you would normally charge and then add on the extra costs involved. then...

3. Add on 50%

If you cant be bothered to visit site to quote the job go on street view with google maps,its is a good way to see what you are getting into with the trees if they are at the front of the property and again on maps for the ones in the rear. You also get a chance to clock the pigs breakfast of a place for access and parking.

Parking is your biggest problem in Knightsbridge. You'll have to organize 2 suspended bays and they take a week to organize and they cost, then you need to figure out access most of my many many jobs in this area most have needed access through the house
