    Hi , my first question is do you carry out tree surveys already ? What do you use now? I use requestaplan and Google maps, depends on site size etc other on here may well use various other mapping services as otis, GPS type mapping service etc most services you pay for but as far as i know Google maps are free as long as you accredit the map to them, other members I am sure will come with alot more options

    Yes and make sure who is paying as some insurance companies can take a while, I get customers to pay and get them to claim it of the insurance Companies If this all helps
  8. Suffolk Dave
    Before we start a job like this, alway get written /email conformation from insurance company that it is paying first ! Not what the customer tells you, then email to say that all care will be taken but any further damge we will not be liable for if we take responsible care.

    I agree that most shared drains are the responsibility of the water company who removes it, we have a share drain AW who took full responsibility of it some years and we got a legal document stating this at the time, so it differently worth asking

    Under puwer/ ppe, you chainsaw trousers have speed rating, this may be your problem with bigger saws on small bars your ppe rating is not to safe user standard protection , if a problem occurs HSE would not be impressed

    Those red onions that have gone to seed don't usually store that well keep an eye on them as they cause others to rot if stored together
