    Sloooooww on new enquiries, but enough repeat customers and annual jobs to keep afloat. By the skin of our teeth some weeks though!

    Hello!
  5. johnp
    Yeah, but rough cut aren't going to give a cracking finish I wouldn't have thought?

    I've been reluctantly picking up more and more hedge cutting work, and my blunt rough cut ht 85 is not that tidy, what's everyone s weapon of choice for a good finish? Ta

    I think it's smashing, well done Steve and whoever else has put hours and hours of their time in. Spot on

    Aye, had loads of grief with them, got fobbed off for two weeks, saying my regrinds and new blades were in the post then saying oh they are just in the pile to go out today, then it turned out they didn't actually have the new blades in stock. Which would be fair enough if I wasn't fed a load of bullshi, won't use em again

    That's what I'm getting at, my customers don't care about loler etc. I've no wish to educate them! But they do appreciate a nice looking tree or a tidy, damage free removal. A scheme which proved competence of work/skill would, I think gain a bit more traction/uptake and therefore be more widely known amongst domestic customers, the aaac as it stands is never going to infiltrate wider domestic work

    I was thinking more focus on the workmanship/professionalism of the job, how the site is run, customer relations etc, so not something every single firm can achieve but top end cutting and tidying. I realise that the aa bar is set very high and for commercial work I suppose it's becoming the norm, but most of my domestic customers don't know there loler s from their rolos, and a more widely recognised certification of competent work would be of benefit to me, them and possibly the aa ( through more widespread quality affiliates and wom). Possibly.😀

    Personally I think it's great that people give a shi and are actively trying to protect the trees. It's nice to know they still mean something to people! ( I speak as an ex road protestor)

    Thanks for the reply, so you can't see a point or need where a more basic workmanship accreditation may exist? Obviously certain insurance/certification aspects would have to be in place. Ta

    Personally, as a small one man and subbies band I am realistically never going to have the office/paper work side of things any where near where it should be, however I'd like to think the standard of the jobs and customer satisfaction are up there with the best, what frustrates me is there are loads of firms doing excellent work but don't necessarily fulfill the office side of things, it would be nice to have a half way house that covered quality of work. I realise that it may be unrealistic but so is the aaac for me as it stands

    Not keen, doesn't come across as v professional imo, and as above about naming other tree surgeon s, I'd be livid if a competitor was doing what your doing
