Thanks for a useful reply Chris, as any threads mentioning pricing usually get trolled to death! More input welcome :-)
-
Im pretty confident and happy with my pricing of domestic work, but tomorrow I am off to look at a bit of work for a large building contractor, any advice on roughly how much I can inflate prices by and still be reasonable ?

Where are you based?

I have one, it's looking a little old now but still very comfy and easy to use, I've never tried anything that's felt better

I got my first hatchet at about that age, and I still have it now. Along with all my fingers and toes! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?0whawb

Long days in London due to travel must be worth 150+ for a decent climber --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?vrf12t

Advertise as much as you can afford to, always do a good job and more importantly a tidy job. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?nby0rn

climber always gets the final say, I've had to argue a few times with some groundies/foremen though...Always the ones that have never climbed mind! From what you've said though i probably would have gone ahead and halved it if the tractor was big enough and i trusted the guy driving it, with big kit its nearly impossible for stuff to go the wrong way if everyone is working together as they should. But as everyone else has said, everyone went home safe and sound and paid so its not a problem, as you were 11m from the lines and you should be 2.5 times the length of the longest product from hazards as a rule if you were doing ti by the book halving them would be a big no no....swings n roundabouts

I cut the bridge on my ekn Skylotec about two years ago with my silky and she's still going strong now, it only penetrated 2-3mm though, however it was still quite worrying at the time ! --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?2y0h0g

I run over weight occasionally as much as the next Arb, I think the simplest solution for most firms would be a big Ifor tt105 with a chip box on it towed behind a second vehicle. Ample payload, no o license or tacho if within 30 miles of base. I'd do it in the blink of an eye if I had space to store a trailer. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?x0xxxs

I produce written quotes for 99% of jobs. And they have saved me from dodgy customers quite a few times. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?qca2n2

Smiley Transit tipper, ms250 & ms200t. But a nice new climbing kit. Anything less than a transit size tipping truck is a waste of time IMO specially with no chipper. Now have an Iveco daily and l200 a few more saws, proper stein lowering gear, and a 625i &935i the former is for sale if anyone's interested --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?perdsz

Typically a company without a chipper are a bit yeeha and not so professional. Unless your constantly on burn up jobs I don't see how people Di without them my 3 man crew made 3 loads of chip today without a chipper it would have been twice that in brushwood, the extra time mashing down etc would have ruined the day totally. As everyone else has said don't buy a chipper to try to get work, if you have that kinda cash laying about persevere with getting Groundy work and tickets and relax. --- I am here: http://tapatalk.com/map.php?mxpguk

Use truck wash or tfr same stuff different name tfr= traffic film remover. There's loads of it on eBay either concentrate that you mix yourself or big premixed barrels. It's the best stuff often marketed under brand names like muc-off, Fenwicks etc and sold for a huge mark up. --- I am here: http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=51.374045,0.481421

Usually happens when something gets stuck in one side. But it may be something else as if you stripped it down you would have found something like that. check the frame the rollers and motors are mounted in for cracks etc as i have just seen one snap last week its a weak point on these machines as the part is shard between them and the 150 according to the dealer here.
