But in this case there is no structal damage to the property. The client wants to protect against the event of damage due to heave. As I understand it, there is a small chance of it happening, and even if there was a high chance there is no economic solution.. You are not going to underpin a house because there "might" be a chance of heave. Therefore a survey is pointless. You remove the tree in one go then fix any damage. Or are there other techniques that I should be aware of..?

I am not trying to be argumentative, genuinly interested. Let's assume we get a report. Costing hundreds if not thousands , as presumably we need soil samples for an engineer to make any conclusions. What will it say? Will it say more than high, medium or low risk? And if it does say high risk what are the actions we can take to lower the risk..

Stop scaring the op. An expensive report would tell you nothing... It might give you a likelihood or risk level of heave damage occurring. But even if high risk (which it isn't. See daltontrees posts) the solution is to remove the tree and repair the problem.

I often put the site office on the RPA. It's the best way to ensure it won't get used as a dumping ground for all the other crap.. My thoughts are it is much more difficult to move than a bit of heras fencing, although to be honest I doubt any of my AMS's ever get more than a cursory read.

I also have no idea what it means? But I am still looking for climbers, preferably with more experience than: "I helped my mate once." PAYE or Freelance..

Position for the right person to become a team leader. We run 7.5 ton and 3.5 ton trucks. We have an avant loader and loader tractor to help save your backs.. We have 10 inch chippers to speed up processing. GRCS and the best kit. This is a great opportunity for some one who wants to progress in the industry.

It can be so demoralising writing AMS. I have been asked to prepare a report on this lime tree by the residents of a new build close. An AIA and two AMS' were written (not by me in this case) but completely ignored.. TPO'd lime tree. There was an AMS prepared in 2014 which was ignored, I had a look at the tree in April 2019 where it looked fair but suggested returning in the summer to check In the winter of 2020 they had to redoo al the block paving as they were having drainage issues.. Another AMS was written (and again completely ignored) they pulled up all the block paving and replaced with cellular confinement system, air spaded, added new drains and repaved.. Who should get the blame. The original developer? The contractor during the initial build? The contractor replacing the block paving? Or the council for failing to insist on proper arb supervision... Has anyone ever had a builder follow the plans written in an AMS? Why do we bother...?

I didn't know you could do that.. Is cheaper that way or can you just get rid when you have had enough... As to the OP. I am with Matty leave the UK.. I regularly regret setting up and settling down in the UK.

Looking for another climber..

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to hire from? We got one from Nottingham a while back but theirs is on long term hire. Doesn't have to be very big. We have a massive hedge to reduce

Consider the Flat Rate Scheme too.

We had 2 a crewcab and a standard tipper, they always felt underpowered and overweight. It is maybe because I was used to the 6.5 tonner which was a great arbtruck. We do have big chippers but they would struggle when compared to the 6.5 ton Iveco or the 3.5 ton Isuzus.

I am a fan of the bigger Ivecos 6.5 ton and 7.5 ton. But we had two 3.5 toners and I don't rate them..

When you sit in it after breakfast your getting very close to the limit.

Doesn't mean they shouldn't have been... I have lost count of the times I have ended up underpricing big trees, especially with limited access.. You end up working your nuts off for peanuts.. But it does sound expensive...

Bronto Skylift 32 Metre MDT Truck Mounted Cherry Picker Access Platform (2003) WWW.EBAY.CO.UK 4200 boom hours. Boom fully serviced until April 2020 by Bronto... This could make a useful addition for a tree firm. Use as a MEWP or with a 2000kg hook..

Especially when they use wet wood to dry it and cut down native forests in eastern Europe and transport it hundreds of miles..

It is quite normal.. Often get business owners asking to do a job at their home and wanting to put it through the business. I refuse to actively be part of their fraud. I will omit an address and invoice a business, but I would not put works at an address where I had not worked..

How long do the batteries hold their charge? Thinking of getting one to keep in the car for when quoting. I don't often work on the tools any more but occasionally I have a 5 min job or call out that I could easily do if I had a saw with me and it works out expensive for me to send a team.. I carry a silky already..

Thanks for the advice, turns out there is a small inline fuel filter that needed a quick clean..

This is how we deal with arb waste, but it is not really worth doing, especially now as the price of the wood for biomass keeps going up.. What with the 20% moisture content requirement I can't see small scale firewood production being commercial viable in the coming years. s

I think he edited his post..?

man 6x6 tractor unit hiab crane lorry WWW.EBAY.CO.UK Scanreco hiab remote system fitted 2 years ago crane and fly jib... This could make a use full addition to someone's fleet.. Contemplating blowing my bounce back loan..

The air filter was checked.. The smoke is not from chip or belts.. It is coming out of the spout but I believe the exhaust exits through there..

Cheers
