Hi, looking an experienced self employed groundsperson for work through Autumn, Winter and into Spring then ongoing. Must have own transport and tools. Fuel and oil supplied for tools on site. The work is all in the domestic market in some amazing places. I am based near Faversham and majority of the work covers that area, Canterbury and surrounding villages. Good Rates depending on experience. Please call me, Dave on 07817191055 for a chat. Thanks for reading👍

I wish you good luck in your new venture. We could debate for hours so to not do so I respect your opinion as I'm sure you do mine.

I have always been asked if I supply logs and always it's a no because of the very reason you mention in that margins are so small. I 100% back a free market and that is the point afterall. Logs>gas=no logs

Andy, I have lived with either an open fire or wood burner all my life and now in my 5th decade and as an arborist for almost half of that I certainly know the market value of wood. The original bag dimension you quoted ammounts to a mere 0. 61 m³ which for that price is a rip off. Especially when you take into account all the air space in their too so be lucky to actually get 0.5 m³. £100 for a pick up load ( single cab) is more realistic and what most people pay. I am fortunate never to have had to pay for logs and likely never to have to do so. But I am informed and will input where I believe malpractices are afoot.

Are you really for real. A dumpy bag of logs at market price is not £90+ and if you think that is a fair price then you are the problem. I'm not in the market for buying or supplying but do know what is a fair price especially in the south east and that is certainly way off the mark.

Rip off prices!

Hi Mags, Such a positive post. May I wish you all the best in your search for work, with your honesty and willingness to learn you'll go a long way in the Arbworld. I am based in Kent and always have plenty of work months in advance. If you're around the East Sussex area for a while message me and may be able to give you some work and experience at same time. Good luck.

Surely if someone is working full time for you then legally he should be employed!?

Thanks guys for input like mentioned costs too much to go inside lez think it's over £100 per day. I usually burn on site but they've landscaped the area we used to use. I can haul it back down to my base, just easier if there was somewhere local that could take it. Pretty much just inside the m25 is lez, I don't work that way apart from this one job every year for a friends sister so never an issue. ?

Unfortunately they are in lez so can't use them.

Thanks Nepia, really appreciate your input.

Hi, I have checked the tipsite directory and although there are a few chip sites local too Oxted none of them accept green waste. Does anyone know somewhere that accepts loads of hedge cutting waste, working up there all next week and it would need to be outside of lez as well. Thanks if you can help, Dave.

Hi, I am based near Faversham in Kent and require an experienced groundie or a general all rounder (ie climb as well and can share climbing/grounding tasks). The need has arisen due to my current colleague taking time out to give their back a break. I have plenty of work up to the end of January booked in and can offer numerous days/weeks over that period. I am looking for someone that is experienced, has CS30/31/38 minimum (CS39 a bonus), has there own tools,PPE, transport and can work to a high standard. I work in the domestic market and the work is varied and interesting with some great projects lined up over Autumn/Winter. Please contact me on 07817191055 or message me on here. You won't find me on FB or Twitter so don't look there. Thanks for taking the time to read the post and look forward to hearing from you soon, Dave.

Looking for anyone with truck and chipper for occasional requirements in the Kent area. Mainly around Faversham, Canterbury, Elham Valley and villages in the vicinity of the areas mentioned. Call me on 07817191055 or send me a contact number. Thank you, Dave.
