    yes i get your point.and thanks for the advice.i dont think im better then these guys but i like to think that i do more skilled work then some others therefore i should at least get little bit more.btw i do grounds maintenance and garden work but mainly trees,all the respect to guys who does gardening are you saying the guy pushes a mower should be or can be paid as much as the guy takes a chainsaw 50... ft up on a tree?(its just a question im not trying to start an argument) personally i think you can get anyone to do gardening but you cant get anyone to climb up a tree or use a chainsaws.I have already done lots of tree work and saved a lot of money for company including some windblowns that would cost them thousands with contractors emergency call out. i think i might mention it boss and see how they react and take it from there,
  10. Considering what type of job we are doing and how dangerous it can be,im thinking about geting a personal insurance cover+mortage cover:001_rolleyes: my questionis what type of covers do you guys have or if you have one or not and what sort of premiums any firms you can recommend!!! cheers:thumbup1:

    yes they have put me for courses to get tickets so thats why i was unsure whether to ask or even bring up the subject. but on the other hand they do get budget for training every year and i dont think their fussd that much about who gets what training.we have guys done digger course and lots of other types of courses but they never even go on a digger or use their ticket,so i would probably feel bad about it but then again even tho i like tree work its annoying thinking about why should i get paid same as the guy drives a sit on mower and just does gardens allday.

  14. hi guys, i just wanted to get some opinions about the how much a qualified climber should be getting roughly.the reason for that is my current employer changing my job title and contract and they will be looking into my salary.so i had a look at jobs on the net to have an idea but they confused me even more im currently working for £9 hr 37 hrs a week so this is my opportunity to ask for a pay rise or shut up and carry on:confused1: what you guys think what i should do i have just over 2 years experience with following tickets cs30-31-32-38-39-41-47 Ive done a evaluation trees for hazard course i have MEWP LICENCE pa1-pa6 sprayin licence im nearly finished a level 2 customer service course i can use all gardenin tools including chippers-stum grinders etc.. done first aid at work manual handling and h&e trained (i know its not related but i have nvq2 joinery:001_rolleyes:) thats all i can remember at the moment
  15. yea they want me to use it but i think at the end of the day its my decision to choose which way would be more practical,quicker and safer so even thought they are trying to make me use it when i can i prefer climbing because in my opinion its safer then mewp.
  16. Hi guys,i have just installed a wood burner and have a lots of wet wood that been recently chopped of but obviously its no good and i need some dry ones till my stock drys up:blushing:so could you be so kind and let me know if any of you can deliver to preston or know anyone around here that you can recommend and if you could give me price that would be great thanks
