    Just been quoted that today, one days work for three blokes incl. materials. Reasonable?
    That’s on top of the £1000 ive just spent on having the garden flagged over.
    EDIT : That’s for a new fence BTW

    Indeed, is it an 80 foot fence with a 100 foot Birch?

    Six panels + posts, panels are big ones six ft tall. I can’t shift the tree myself or get the fence parts in as I don’t have access to a wagon so I have to pay someone. Fence is 8 panels long but two are staying.
    £600 for the fence and £100 to remove the tree debris (cut it down today)

    Have you got a problem with people making a living?
    I work with a guy who seems to think he is a charity 🙄
    Hopefully for not much longer 😉

    Eh? It’s a quote for work, not a starting price for bartering. Client starts that guff with me and i walk.

    Fair enough – looks like a good quote then!
    He’s the brother of the lady who laid my flagstones in the garden, happy with that work.

    Is that a euphemism?

    Is he insured for the tree work? Trees don’t always fall where they should.

    I had a 20ft section of tree/shrub line reduced and two 3ft stumps removed for £450. It was a comparable quote across 3 are company’s this one with a 5% mates mates rate discount. 1.25 days work for two chaps and equipment including a chipper.

    Your seems fair tbh op.

    Tree is already down, myself and a friend dropped it and chopped it this afternoon. Just a lot of rubbish to shift now which is something I can’t do.
