That's great cheers mate 👌🤜🤛

Anyone know any good tip sites in the n6 area of North London? I've got a job tomorrow and I'll need something local

Yeah that's kind of my point like if I charge 350 that's an extra hundred in the price which means some gypo company will come in under and get it. I know that's not really my problem but how else can we beat them. Also miss after taking to numerous people and companies I can reduce my overheads and up my wage. Not sure where I'm going yet or if I'll fold but it's really good to get other peoples thoughts on this.

The Pollard's I did that day were on London plain Street trees using a 151. I've always been told I'm fast at what I do but I know me and know I was quicker when I was younger. More technical now but even so I've felt my pace reduce.

I was making 200 a day in Newcastle but since moving South I'm on 250. After reading these comments and the fact I have insurance, tools, 17yrs exp and UTR I should probably charge more.

Haha I started at Glendale's when I was 17 lol 35 now also I'm in Maidenhead

Just wanting to get a feel for people's beliefs as it's been discussed a lot on site today. I'm a climber with 17 yrs experience i arrive on site with a van, 2 chainsaws, blower and rigging kit. I have my own insurance and paid £7000 5 years ago to renew my tickets. I charge £250 a day and tbh feel bad about it, I honestly don't think anyone is worth more than that. I get 5 days a week every week and have to turn work down, one of the other climbers today on site was telling me how I should charge 350 and which companies to apply to but I honestly couldn't dare ask that kind of money. At the end of the day I'm doing the same work as I was doing 10 yrs ago for half the money. Also back then I had so much more endurance, now I can do around 10-11 Pollard's a day but back then I could do easy 15. Anyway just wanted to open some kind of dialogue on the matter as maybe I'm just being stupid.

Still looking?

Still looking?

Hi Scott are you still looking for a climber? If so I fit your requirements and have 17yrs experience as a lead climber/chargehand
