Rhododendron removal £s per hour.

[geoffers]

My god £10 per hour for a trained chainsaw operative, tractor, and chipper. You work a 10 hour day that's £100, you take your diesel out of it that you burn with the chipper that's at least £25-£30, you take your fuel and oil off for the saw another £10, take the fuel off for running yourself to and from site £20 supposing its local. Then you have to shift the timber back to your place. Possibly come out with £40 a day in your hand and don't forget to take off your maintenance time on repairing your kit as it all needs a service to keep it running.

I would price it high if I were you like £50 per hour, otherwise you'll run yourself and your kit into the ground at those rates, and won't have anything to show for it apart from some rhody for firewood.

Thanks for the replies, I was going to chip it all but as some is really big you got me thinking....

The wood turner thing was a joke btw.

Just charge £20 an hour and sub jonny69 in.

 

I doubt the wood will be worth more than feck all.

In my younger, more idiotic days, I did pull out about 4 cube of rhoddie firewood from a site we worked on. It was hard work, but it burned beautifully.

 

Regarding price, £300 a day.

Exactly, I would turn the whole lot in bowls and ashtrays on site. Then sell them on Ebay.

 

You guys charge to much.

And don't forget you can sell the foliage to florists!!

£12 per hour, I'd probably do it for £10. But obviously you get to keep all the timber.

 

Indeed I would recommend you to study pricing, i struggle to see how he could make money with a price that low.

 

Tractor, chipper, chainsaw, I would look to get 400 to 600 a day depending size of the tractor, chipper.
