Tree Surgeon Recommended


I have used David for a tree removal job.


I got 3 quotes - he was competitively priced, took away all the wood and tidied up


I highly recommend him.


His number 07931 921691


Simon



One Not Recommended


I used someone else for another job, got his number from a card put through the door (family business, friendly etc)


He said that the chainsaw would be damaged and need replacing (?40) and that it would be quite a job to kill the roots - he would have to put chainsaw in deep into the trunk (in fact it was a few inches).


I rashly agreed to his price. The job actually took 20 minutes - which means that his hourly rate is closer to that of a brain surgeon.


He didn't clear up at all - this was agreed, but I had got the impression the job would be a bit more involved.


The chainsaw clearly wasn't damaged as after he had a go at another tree and the cuts were clean.


Stupidly, I didn't get a receipt. Have asked for one, but no sign of it yet.


David got back to me with a quote after job was done and it was half the price!


My bad. Lesson learned.

      How do dispose of sharps bins

      By elloriac · Posted

      You can request for them to come and collect your full bins again https://forms.southwark.gov.uk/ShowForm.asp?fm_fid=1879 They usually come on whatever day your rubbish/recycling collection day is. If you aren't going to be in, leave them somewhere that they can find it. If you don't need replacements, just leave a note on the full ones that a replacement isn't needed.  They usually come quite early, so it's better to leave them outside if you can.

      Cyclists taking over paths!!

      By Rockets · Posted

      Cyclists certainly do have a bit of a perception problem at the moment and when I cycle I see a lot of examples of arrogance and ignorance that gives all cyclists a bad name - it does seem that many cyclists have caught the entitlement bug many drivers seem to have.

      ULEZ expansion ruled lawful by High Court

      By Rockets · Posted

      But Spartacus didn't mention the significant amounts of land being used for car storage - that was most definitely you.   And I am afraid when you apply your same measure to other transport uses (like cycleways and cycle lanes - Malumbu is your stat on the 360 kms of cycle network cycleways or cycle lanes?) then it most definitely is relevant for the debate.   Should we assume then that if all this ULEZ money and government bailout money is being poured into TFL then the system is, financially at least, broken or is it a case that the money is being mis-spent (like the DV junction project)?
