Better to pay the Council (who will have all the equipment *and* know the appropriate Highways laws) than some cowboy who may not even be insured. Putting your hard earned cash in the Council's pocket has got to be better then lining 'Blogs the Bodgers'pocket. What a good answer MM! Cheered me up! John We have just has a very large lime tree cut down and removed in very similar circumstances, the third in a few years. The cost was just under £1,000, previously we had a one company, but this time they were not available. The cost was slightly lower than previously, but the last one caused a fair amount of damage to the lawn. the first company set up traffic control and stopped the traffic as necessary, the last lot did it without. It is fascinating watching them climb the tree, very nimble, but great care taken for safety equipment. As regards the council doing it not likely and they would probably charge more. Though it may be necessary to approach the council about planning permission, which makes it a long drawn out process. If you employ a good firm of specialists they will handle the whole process for you. this was North Staffordshire, the cost else where (I'm thinking of London particularly) may well cost considerably more |
