price for a job help

[defenderjack]

I think I read somewhere recently that the basic rate is £60 per tree for a felling cut and snedding out/clearing up based on maybe a 30-40' tree then as the work load goes up so does the price, I fact come to think of it if I remember correct (it was a long time ago) a mate of mine charges £2.50 a foot so a 10ft tree would be £25, a 20ft tree/£50 and so on, hope this helps !...👍

 

That has gota be one of funniest and worst pricing ideas ive ever read !

Well 'Daniel666' I'm sorry I failed miserably in my attempt to actually help you as best as I can with an answer to your problem but I'm sure that when one of the half a dozen or so gents that have read your plea for help can finally stop crying with laughter they'll actually try to help you out !...

It's easy, monthly costs divided by 4 gives you your weekly running costs then divide that by how many days you want to work per week and hey presto that's your daily cost, then add in your wage and some profit and that's what to charge. Simples init!😎

So here's a question for you 'Hodge' if I was asked to clear 10 small'ish trees of 10' in height from a garden based on £2.50 a foot and barring in mind I don't feck around would you say that £250 for a day's work is poor ?...

 

Ps, not a dig but a serious question !...

That may be OK but it's the clear up etc. However, would you be happy the charge the same for 1 at a 100'?😈😈 then consider what if the 100' was a conifer or beech...

Depends on your daily cost plus wage.. I would charge say £450 plus vat including all the waste away.
