i could be wrong but if you cary out any pruing work within 9metres of utiltiys or 15metres if your felling you must imform the electric distributers in that area ??????? . and without being a tool im sure that connys a catigoryA tree with a ABC cable (ariel bundled cable) - insulated mabe but never treat as insulated. to the left u can see tele wires in the foreground you could direction rope the top and top it out (few tops like) , be it on your own head, it may no be a 3phase stacked lv cabe but you could still cause a little damage if 'insulasion' is worn. i had a friend who couldnt wait for me to do his tree and he did most himself until a huge branch he was on snapped onto an abc cable - if it was anything else he could have been toast , what a turkey

..im just starting out , i quote what i feel is fair, thou my overheads are very small unlike the larger guys --- thou i dont charge pennies but whats is the going rate for every job??? i also run a garage with my brother , we have the same probelm there , we charge fair , we get the work , we try to charge the proper rate like the big boys , and we do a better qualtiy job , customers walk away even thou we have all the right gear same in every trade win some lose some i say, laugh it of at times, if we were all paul mackena's/Derren browns we might have a chance
