500+VAT is fair for a proper firm to do it.

i know i would be doing another job  or 2 that day if that was the first job????

slatted is best.....felt is a waste of time...spend a little more on metal or onduline roof sheeting....and the bigger the better......at least 6ft high  so u dont hit ur head getting some logs in on a dark wet night?

£1000 is way over the top for that tree.......easy job plenty of room.....2 guys +chipper in the morning.......£500 tops

the reason to not work is simple to me........u cant stop cross contamination to either one of your staff or yourself..  u could pick it up from a gatepost, side of a tree whatever, the virus can live for up to 72hrs, and u could pass it onto the next job u go to....or onto your workmates or take home with you to your family.

We are on call for emergency tree work for a client.......which we will do if necessary.....but it will only if its dangerous to the public at large.

Keep safe guys...

free coffee and biscuits???????

The tree in Dent after the work was carried out.

A second person has been convicted after a healthy tree was damaged in the Yorkshire Dales National Park.

Dent tree surgeon Ian Middleton was fined £700 at York Crown Court and was ordered to pay £1,300 costs to the national park authority, which brought the prosecution.

Middleton carried out work severely cutting back the 200-year-old sycamore at High Laning caravan and campsite at the village in Cumbria. A member of the public complained about the work, prompting enforcement action by the authority.

Middleton had entered a not guilty plea at York Magistrates’ Court on 14 January, when his co-accused, Margaret Taylor of High Laning admitted breaching section 211 of the Town and Country Planning Act and was fined £2,000 plus costs.

However, he pleaded guilty at the crown court last week.

A national park authority spokesperson said: “The crown court judge made clear that Ian Middleton was misled by Margaret Taylor into thinking that the work on the tree was permissible.

“However, the judge also pointed out that Dent was a well known conservation area and that Mr Middleton should have known that checks were needed before carrying out any work.”
