Saying that, I have lost three jobs within the last 2 weeks because another company could do it sooner.

Always like to book well in advance. Very occasionally keep a day spare throughout the week to book last minute jobs in but not very often. I always like to know what I'm doing, where I'm doing it and when I'm doing it! Makes life much easier!!

As above... hate it! Really really don't like the fact that your bank / payment details are sent with the quotes.. what's that all about?!

I'm in the process of buying a mini loader so I will sure to be coming to say hello! -
Looking for genuine opinions and suggestions for chipper upgrade
WillTimberlake replied to Coletti's topic in Large equipment
After owning second hand used machines, I would strongly recommended you buying new. I've got a Forst ST6, I have very mixed reviews on them. Just being honest. Although at 41 hours, it did snap a shaft but luckily it was under warranty so it didn't cost me. I just thought to myself, yes it's a £20k machine with the vat but all repairs are under warranty for the first 3 years. (So they say anyway). So, if you are spending for instance £10/12k on a second hand use machine, if anything happened you wouldn't be covered so you'd be forking £'s out. I would recommend getting a Forst, Vermeer, TW & GM out on trial and see which one suits you best. -

Shogun, Pathfinder, Disco 3/4, Rav 4?

Have you considered an iveco daily?

Flyers are working exceptionally well for us. Usually get around 100 leads and 55/65 jobs from them which I think is pretty good. Around £3000 profit per 15,000. Tried Adwords, waste of time for us!
-
I have 15,000 flyers delivered each month. Website costs £6 per month. I've only been running about 2 years so word of mouth started around 6/8 months ago.
-
Advertising is around £650 per month.
-
That's including an average of fuel etc too.
-
Think that's good or bad?!
-
That's crazy! You should feel privileged!
-
That's for a two/three man company. Occasionally 4 for bigger jobs. The £108 is including van, chipper, advertising, insurance, fuel, tax for van, mot for van, phone bill etc etc.

Afternoon all, I understand for some this is a personal thing so feel free not to answer it if you don't want too. I've spent the last hour working out all of overheads, including fixed monthly overheads, yearly overheads etc. Also worked out average wage bills etc. Now, it's coming in at £108 per day (before anyone's wages) to run the company. Seems quite a lot to me. We are only a small outfit with Iveco tipper truck, Forst chipper etc. 95% domestic work. What do you all think? I would appreciate your feedback, opinions and if how much your business outgoings are, as above if you feel comfortable. Cheers

It's a fell and chip. Wouldn't need to sned it to get it through an ST6.
-
The op says that the stump will be left at GL. EASY 10 mins work. Pass by and do the job £50, £70 if it's a bit further. Anymore and it's day light robbery!

After pic...

A before and after picture of a recent Beech reduction. The tree had been reduced very badly in the past and had several medium sized holes in it. We reduced it quite hard but tried to keep a natural shape to it.

Quite regularly quote in my 66 plate Sportage... Haven't had any comments yet and the success rate hasn't dropped.
-
I can certainly recommend a Kia Sportage.

What will you be using it for? Just driving to and from places?
