  1. Thanks everyone for your feedback. With regards to the ally platform i have a 62 year old bloke who works with me and the gradient was a bit steep so he requested us get one for his peace of mind really safety wise. The platform was from Jewsons and isn't very high just lengthy so would have been a 5-10mins assembly. As I previously mentioned I await the results of the workmanship!
  2. I handed the quote to him. He is actually a mate who runs the local pub. He is taking the £140 quote so I await the workmanship he has hired!
  3. Hi all newbie here. This may have previously been done to death however I've a question re hedge quoting. There's a bloke who's asked for a quote on a leylandii hedge. It's 45+ metres and needs cutting both sides therefore 90+ metres and along the top. The approx width is 4 ft and it is 3 metres high. I priced together usual things such as fuel costs, taking away of all Waste and also the need for a small ally tower platform. We worked out it would take 1 and a bit days so probably 2 days with transporting waste to recycling centre we dispose green waste at. We quoted £500. 2 days 2 blokes and the other bits mentioned above. Do you feel this is too much? We were no where near the quote the bloke had been given of £140. I struggle to see how they could make make a living charging so little, or is it maybe we are too greedy? We aren't struggling for work and we did a 120 metre hedge last week for quoting 80 more. Any replys will be appreciated. cheers.
