  1. I wasn't being negative, just commenting on the way the industry has gone over the last couple of years up here. But i suppose every industry is feeling it at the moment. Id hate to be just setting up now
  2. I have started the process of working towards becoming Arb Approved, I already have most things in place, I have identified and made a list of everything we need to put into place for the assessment. I would like your views on being an Arb Approved Contractor, its benefits etc I have head mixed views on this and i'm sure ill get the same on here. Up here in SUNNY Newcastle we have a thing called the NEPO Portal, this is a website that all Councils and Public sector put their contracts enabling companies to tender for the work, so is being Arb Approved going to help and assist getting these kind of contracts as they are open to everyone and you know how it is price is nearly everything nowadays! Comments please...
  3. I use Marlow and love it!
  4. I wish I wouldn't choose tree work
  5. MS460 for me

  7. i see..... .....said the blind man
  8. Ok then get a scaffold bar on your socket wrench!
  9. I could not agree more mate!!!
  10. Ring Orange Plant in Newcastle and ask to speak to Graham, he will tell you all the torque settings. Tell him I told you to ring him
  11. Hi mate, you will need a torque wrench to get them off and to re-tighten them Good luck!
  12. Already in the list of things to do mate

  15. Good attitude to have in this game, although overheads are more punctual than new work
  16. Make sure you come on here tomorrow and let us all know how it went as i think youll be on some peoples minds
  17. Just tread carefully mate, if you get stuck on anything the estate manager will respect your hinesty rather than having a dead tree surgeon on his hands
  18. Im worried for you now mate Last thing we want on here is another 'Tree Surgeon Injured Thread' or worse!
  19. Very hard to advise without seeing it as each tree/situation is different. Is the compression side the underside Is the tree hungup on anything which will change the compression side from the top to the upperside. Windblown should be tackled with great care because they can be so unpredictable and cause serious injury or death. If you dont have your windblown NPtC ticket then you shouldnt be taking on this work. If you do have it then you should have a good background knowledge of this situation. Just go carefully and plan your escape routs!! Good luck
  20. Mine is a New England Tachyon (green) With Ocean double eyed prusik 8mm Also just got myself a foot rope grab and love it
  21. Tell the two men and two women not to go to this island and go to Lanzarotte as they can all fly there
  22. Due to an awfuly quiet April/May i am exploring new advertising avenues, has any body advertised on local radio? Is there an easy way to locate a list of recently sold property? What forms of advertising do you do and what works well?
  23. Are you putting it down to the rain too?
