How many have you actually seen cut for firewood? Most of the ones I see aren't fit for anything other than firewood or the extraction makes it uneconomical, that and when the client sees you carting dimensioned timber away they start to think you should be paying them
-
It is the easier option, I enquired with BALI (doesn't hurt to get ahead of the game) and they were appalling. They just said the person that deals with that wont be in for the next few days and left the matter dead ended there. No offer of a call back or anything else helpful. I went to my local test centre sat the test that day and got an operative card 2 days later. BALI need to bring their game up to that standard.
-
You got that wrong. I don't want to be on your data base, I asked them to take my details off it. When I said I didn't mind junk mail, I didn't say I wanted it. Since my last phone conversation with your rep it has gone to no communication and that's how I like it. If at any point in the future I want anything, I will be in touch.

The card is a ticket on to the site, it is a requirement to walk through the gate, it doesn't get you a pass on site inductions or safety briefings.
-
Its not a loop hole though is it?, its just the previous, and current state of things, until site managers start asking for something else its the way it will stay.
-
Its a box ticking exercise, Listen to the contractor and get the operative card. I have had one for years and never been asked for anything else. The BALI thing is expensive and clearly not needed
-
Its definitely not an ant but it is probably Poplar
-
I don't mind junk mail, I can chuck that in the bin, its the phone calls during the working day that were annoying. I had to ask your people to stop calling me 4 times.

Mature Lombardy poplar - neighbour complaining.
treequip replied to Crunchie66's question in Homeowners Tree Advice Forum
You need to take due regard of your (mothers) general duty of care to others Having the tree looked at by a contractor isn't the best idea, many contractors will look at the tree as a job for the week coming. An arboricultural consultant would give an unbiased written opinion (for a fee) -
If you can tie your boots you can pass that test Here is a sample question. You are using a power tool on site, it gets hot and stars smoking do you. A. Drop it and run away B. Put it in a bucket of water C. Un plug it and tell your supervisor
-
That's clearly someone in distress about their pet, either tell them you cant do it or put your boots on
-
Its all about bums on seats these days. They will get you on a course but it might mean sitting some sort of equivalency test first
-
But that doesn't mean it shouldn't have been happening When someone tells the LA they are going to embark on a course of action that could potentially end in fines of 20k the LA is duty bound to tell them that. Could just be that they assume you were aware.
-
You don't have to prove that the tree would have failed. The exemption is for dead and dangerous so that's what you need to prove.
-
But that's just what they do, its a standard response. Anyone working on a 5 day notice has to justify their actions or risk prosecution.
-
Fixed that for you. Just because you didn't know that doesn't mean the rest of us didn't

Are BT responsible for maintaining their lines to be kept clear?
treequip replied to SteveA's topic in General chat
Its BT/openreach apparatus all the way to the box in your house -
No but I hired a chipper YEARS ago and it took me till last year to get stop them spamming me.
-
Not even out of its infancy. I have one that's been in regular service for more than ten years.
-
Well its going to take longer if you do it in the nude.
-
Not the case Ultimately the owner of the tree is liable, subject to reasonable foreseeability unless he has placed reliance on advice from another party. The TO should advise on what they would consider acceptable under the TPO, its up to the tree owner to get his own expert opinion.
-
Your liability ends with whatever advice you gave, no mater what the tree officer said. Your advice to your client should be your opinion and not what the tree officer said If you are at all concerned put an app in for a fell, if they pass it all good, if they decline it that's you at appeal or out of the loop if the client doesn't want to appeal.
-
In a nutshell it's nowt to do with you. You are the contractor to your client, just pass on the information you have been given ( in its context) and see what your client says Trespass is a civil wrong so don't worry about that and criminal damage requires criminal intent. Formal maintenance can hardly be described as that, and in any case the person to answer would be your employer. How reliable is the irate neighbour? It might just be a fit of pique
-
I have just replaced the brake linings on both axles, four tyres and a couple of bowden cables on my ifor. That's come to several hundred and a days work. It's still cheaper than a GV9 and less embarrassing than admitting on here that the wheel fell off

Do we know any more about new cracked ZigZag in Australia?
treequip replied to Jake Andrews's topic in Climbers talk
To avoid pointless speculation??
