a statuory demand is that you go to court and you issue a demand that they pay you what is owed in full. they can not do any more business. without the the courts permission until the debt is paid in full that includes any other creditor they owe. there assets are frozen. so they can only pay bills eg utility bills and mortgage. all other money is paid to crediors yo being on top of pile as you issued the demand. normally only used on business who are likely to go bang. so by doing this you freeze all there money and they have to come to a arrangement with the courts to clear there debts before being allowed to carry on and it does not happen what is in pot is paid out and any assets owed are sold to pay off any creditors owing. and it is sold at auction so will only get a fraction of what it may be worth. only upside is if you do get the demand in quick there may be somemoney still left before it is gone.

have a argument with son in law he saw lay all the hedge then stake. talking black,hawthorn mix. i like to lay a few mtrs then stake and weave the stems and wiskers in. what do you do i know this will be more applicable for laying with stakes than laying dorset style

if they are disputing the work then you have a problem. when you did the work did you make clear or did they how much was to come off. or leave it to you as the professional. if latter then as the customer they are saying they want more off. do not have much choice loose what is owed or cut what they want and get your money. once done can not then dispute what they owe. statutory demand will be of little use if private customer

if you do not mind saying what are you going to cut the grass with i have a zero turn so can cut largish area in a short time. also depends on size of deck of mower. is it ok to mulch or is cut and collect if latter got to work this into quote to remove clippings. the ones i do its done per cut i do 14 times a year so they pay x per cut. as it has been warm still got one more cut to do. plus i charge for doing hedges. and for doing other jobs. if you can give more details on kit you have may be able to give you a ball park price.

since joining i have found out so much and if i can in my little way put my views and suggestions over then ok. majority of posts are ok been on worse sites but agree lets keep it friendly if we agree to disagree with out punching below the belt. keep up the good work mods and steve

if you look on weather school then its different normal temps rain and some strong winds not untill december there may be some white stuff. Simon forecasts are 99% spot on work my jobs around his forecasts for week. like next week hedgeing mon.tues wednesday onwards as its not to good will go strimming and pressure washing as is a wet job so rain as well make no difference as can do these jobs in the wet. be good if he would come on this site and put on his forecast for week.

if you want a accurate weather forecast weather school 99% bang on today in south rain to start dry by 9am it was and was sunny all day and warm. as for long range Simon has not mentioned any snow as such if anything heavy rain. so take it with a pinch of salt. i will keep looking at weather school for my forecast

look for a good second hand sthil or husky with a 50cc engine then you can if wanted put a clearing blade on it with a mlcher blade will kill the brambles. leave some though for wildlife. lot of woodland butterflies and moths like brambles and good cover for ground nesting birds

doing a hedge for a customer had a a apprentice helping me never spoke and all he would do was trim the wiskers on hedge:biggrin:

they are all heavy no matter what model. its a killer on your upper arms and shoulders

did send you a pm when you first posted still interested

may be of help to you but the north east hedgelayers where in need of stakes and binders as a shortage of hazel up there part of the world.

i went ex directory to stop nuisance calls and for personal reasons. did it stop the slaes people ringing when i asked how did you get my number they just hang up. as for the microsoft DO NOT let them anywhere near your pc they will put a add on which allows them to monitor your pc and get your personal details eg bank account details once they have them your bank balance will follow was on the beeb inside out south some poor lady had it done.

cheesfoot head and the bowl which general eisenhower spoke to the troops before embarking on the d day landings. also what is now the M3 which was the winchester bypass this is where the trucks and tanks where kept prior to be loaded Winchester cathedral the largest cathedral without a spire. and my great grandfather who helped william walker shore up the foundations. King alfred statue which was cast by thornecroft who built the steam engines.

the trouble is its not just dropping the liner down chimney and fitting it has to have a vermiculite cement mix put down outside of liner to keep heat in. and it has to to have for insurance a HERAS certificate which they have to give when they fit it if anything goes wrong then its them who foot the bill. shame your a bit far as have a chap who may have been able to do it all to spec. PM me pat i will give you his number and you can ask him.

the chances of him getting nicked for this are slim. if they can not match his face with there mug shots then its a loss. to much hard work to sort it out. yet they can lay in wait on a dark night hidden in the bushes and knick my wife for breaking the speed limit. yes over but said to copper i thought it was 40 it was until she got to crossroads changed to 30. and reading on hear all the time what little is done to stop the thieving and there response on stuff nicked. sent a letter to my MP complaining about lack of effort at grass roots level and what is being spent on a uk FBI

if its normal stakes eg 2inch hazel 50p is going rate depends how many you are after seen them for more 60p up but 50p is normal see if you can find a local coppicing group bound to find a hurdle maker or like who will sell them. yo look a bit far for my chap.

i had just finished cutting hedge came back to van put it down hedge side of truck went to back of truck picked up blower started blower was only 5 yrds max he sneaked in grabbed it and ran off over playing field, so yes my fault should have locked it up before doing anything else learnt the hard way. still sucks

well i posted that my brand new long handle was nicked from under my nose well pub had cctv what i saw of it a very good image. had a phone call from police yesterday we have looked at cctv but image is not that good and maybe 10 suspects like the one on the cctv. mind boggles they are now saying a week later will go and ask the golf club to look at there cctv. but the best bit was had lots of stuff nicked it maybe organised crime involved so looking wider to see if we can match it up. i despair even with photos they still can not point the finger or go and knock on there door. now my hedgetrimmer has been sold on and being used by those who do not mind using bent gear. i know other posts say about the police. starting to think the same. somehow something needs to be brought out to be able to track even small hand tools not just plant, i hate to think how many people are out of pocket in the hundreds due to excess not allowing to make a claim on insurance:cursing:

interesting did not know fb had a business section will go and look. have been on a site called linkedin have a number of people who look if it could be worthwhile but as yet nothing has come from it. so may try fb see how i get on.

i put normal 2 stroke in my hedgecutter and blower as way out and needed fuel to finish job. yuk never again did not realize how much they stink on normal pump fuel compared to aspen 2. will keep some aspen now so i do not run out.

grasscutting season coming to a end. maybe two more cuts which is good. hedges to do. then hedgelaying booked until next april. and fingers crossed maybe more for next season. so looking up. as been hard this year so far.

i put below a reply to start of season but though it needed a new thread. those i watch laying hedges are what i call skilled craftsman at work. the longer you have been laying hedges the more skill you have. yet when asked what is the going rate for laying hedges and what i have heard. are we undercharging for our skills. some of the related skills to our own i have listed below. what do you get charged for sawn stakes. i wonder if those who do hedgelaying undersell themselves. what is a skilled craft. taking years to master. as before hurdles £90 for a 6ft thatchers 25k to thatch a house. farrier £40 to shoe A horse. and yet £6 upwards a mtr to lay a hedge. 20x £6= £120 a day less materials fuel for saw truck and getting materials. its not a lot. its not as if once you have tools thats it allways need fuel and materials. there was a thread on the NHLS forum re having accreditation for hedgelaying going up to crafstman. maybe thats the way forward, to show that its not a job any one can just do but needs training and practice. to get to a skill. then those who lay can try and get a decent rate for there skills. also its only a winter job so 7 months could be busy other 5 months what do you do. i do ground maintenance work in summer and lengthman all year. i be interested in others views on this.

had it at tesco had some aspen 2 cans which hold normal fuel ok. came out can not fill that not a petrol can. what's that on side flammable liquid. he shut up and went back inside i filled them up.

my late father who was a master builder and knew things building got a firm in to do him a shower room by the time i found out nearly finished. talk about a bodge job. since have found they used flexi hose as the wastewater for the shower so it leaked bringing ceiling down. he paid them jokers 4k for there efforts. so its nots just the caravan nomadic travelers who rip the older generation off.
