@Mick Dempsey, very valid point you make, The customer had another tree surgeon look at it and told him that he was surprised the tree hadn't fallen over yet...which I told the customer was the biggest load of shite I had ever heard. Was a shame as it was a well established ash and for once didn't have die back, but the council said it must come down within the next 4 weeks as a dangerous tree Would love to know the thoughts behind the previous reduction (if you can call it that..Pollard more like) but it was very healthy and a sound a tree as they come !

@SamanthaSunny councils do sometimes have Thier own tree teams who will do work on council land, round here City Suburban have the contract to do all the council work, This was private land and a private job,but a neighbor had complained about the tree and the TO came and took a look and condemned the tree, but it's down to the owner of the property to make that happen.
-
Not technically today's, couple of months ago acctually. Big Ash dismantle, council condemned it so down it came , even though it was sound as they come and could have been fine with a decent reduction. Hanging over 4 gardens, fences, sheds..ball ache job but a good challenge at the same time

I get on really well with Arbortec Breatheflex Pro's 👍

Paul have you ever considered getting into splicing? I could imagine your patience, eye for detail + your eagerness to learn new things would go well with it.

Where abouts mate? I pay 170+vat for a 6" tracked in Godstone area, am I being ripped off?
-
Scum! What area ish? Near here near Bromley, 4 range rovers were taken within 3 roads, they had the trackers out in 7 minutes! My mate was driving round the M40 nearly at the m25 the other morning at 5:30, got pulled over by plain clothes police. They asked a few questions and he was told to jump out and give them the keys. Cops were fake, they were in a plain clothes car and must have dressed up to look like police. One of the guys jumped in and both cars drove off leaving him without his phone/laptop etc and just standing on the hard shoulder! cant be too careful these days!

Ask for a demo and try it for yourself, I'm sure they would be much obliged. I personally have never had any problems with Forst and Thier customer service has been second to none.
-
I'm not sure , I chased the job and he told me he'd given it to someone else at that price, Don't think it's been undertaken yet
-
So i found out today I'd lost the job, I quoted £1400 Lost it to £1010, You win some, you lose some
-
Interesting , At what point would you find it worth hiring in an Avant etc? For a resi job like this is it worth it considering its in the front garden? Or would it speed up handling that much that it would pay for itself...just thinking out loud

Can we start a petition to get him permanently banned? [emoji4]
-
Thanks eggs, my feelings exactly!
-
I have priced the job, I was simply interested in other people thoughts and viewpoints on pricing the job, I am keen to learn and take advice, I'm not a know it all , unlike yourself
-
What u gonna ruin that one too?
-
I really like the arbortec breathflex pro trousers , so far this summer not been too hot Atall, but haven't had them for the winter yet In answer to your second question I can rate the harkie smock [emoji106]
-
I'd like to thank everyone that has replied with Thier view points on pricing and how they'd tackle the job, it's been interesting and helpful.[emoji106]
-
Vespian, Can I kindly ask you refrain from posting on this thread as you literally have no clue what so ever what you're talking about and are only ruining what is a constructive and useful thread. I know it's your trade mark to be a dick but please stop ruining other peoples threads.
-
Go and have a look at your local hire shop rates, you'll get a shock Plus you're taking the piss if you think a decent experienced fully qualified climber is worth £200 a day to hire in
-
Nah don't bother, just spouting some shite about knowing all about the oil industry now [emoji849]
-
Yeah, they're not being split or stacked, just chucked in there's, and it's the garage right there .
-
Thanks for feedback , appreciated![emoji4] It's a commercial job within the m25, and nah I'm not interested in Instagram [emoji16]
-
You still haven't told me what you'd charge? [emoji4] Just out of interest, from another point of view , I personally think its more efficient to cut bigger/if need be rig, and process with two guys on the ground, rather than scrambling around cutting tiny bits off all the time? One person cutting up the tree takes longer, two guys cutting on the ground quicker... Depends how you work, save costs by having less guys, or save costs by being efficient, [emoji4]

Nice job, no idea, 5k?

Could winch it over if plenty of space, but theres no room for it to land,
