I'd be interested but currently in a full time job right now. Planning to look to move in November, so if you're still looking for an experienced climber by then give me a call on 07967361604. I'm based near Matlock and got all the usual tickets, 10 years experience, my own kit, rigging and saws etc. Cheers Will

10 years experience. Can handle all aspects of aerial tree work including MEWP ticket. Have all own saws and climbing kit and rigging gear. Currently have a steady employed technical job but looking to get back to subbying and climbing. Looking for 1 or 2 regular days per week. Day rate £180. Can commute to anywhere in Derbyshire or south Sheffield. -
Interesting idea. Trouble is these are large, mature highway trees, any kind of wrapping etc would probably need maintenance, which council won't do. That's why I thought tree paint, similar to what they use in Europe might be useful. I know it's not normal practice here.

I think it would need the right kind of paint, not Dulux 😂

So a few months back, a large sycamore fell over after root failure. This tree was providing shade to the two mature beeches next to it. With this gone, I've noticed patches of peeling bark on lower sections of the stem facing westwards where most sun will come from during the day. I know there's not a lot to be done with the bark already damaged. But is there any value in painting parts of the stem white to prevent further damage?

I hope this is the right section to post this. So my DMM steel thimble cord used as part of Tefuelberger Pulley Saver failed LOLER. So rather than spend £70 on a whole new one, I thought I'd save a bit and just put new 8mm cord into the original steel thimble. Does anyone know a method for getting it in. It's so tight, I can't push the cord into the hole. Is there a special tool I need to use? Thanks

The clearance is ZERO. I reckon the top of the conifer is basically touching the line. It's a small domestic line. It's in the guys front garden. Got to be under 11k volts. Thanks for that. I'll contact Northern Power Grid and see what they say.
-
Hi looking for some advice please. A customer has a small conifer tree directly beneath a low voltage, possibly insulated power cable which runs over his garden. I'm struggling to find out which power grid company I need to contact to arrange a temporary shut down. I've searched Google, and it's not very clear who I need to speak to for the Derbyshire Dales area. Please help!

Thanks, I'll check them out. It can be daunting when you Google for first aid training and a hundred different providers come up. No way of knowing which will be any good.
-
Can anyone recommend a good course provider for First Aid At Work 3 day course) preferably with forestry? I'm based in Chesterfield, Derbyshire, so somewhere within 50 miles around would be handy. Needs to be 3 day course as it's a requirement for Assessor and Instructor training. Thanks
-
Thanks Slack. That's interesting, not sure I'd want the responsibility of running my own courses. But worth thinking about as an option. I'll see what the Lantra people say when they get back to me.

Would you say it was worth the effort and money for you? Do you get enough work from it, and does it pay ok?
