Allo :) anyone know a tree surgeon fella type person in Poitou Charente? we need three large pines felling from around a small cabin in a field.
My primary concern is cost.
Does anyone know how much is the wood worth?
I suppose I should ask at my local woodyard, they'll probably have contacts.
Hi there Jo, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. My neighbours in Beaumont, Alloue used Vernon and Beverley Pawson from Crosscut Tree Surgeons, 0555 606214 . Also available at beverley.pawson@yahoo.co.uk
I hope it works for you, and them.
Cheers Kwashie
Thanks Kwashie, we're in Chauvigny, about 60k from Confolens so it might be within range for such a big job. I'd like the number if you can find it please.
Hello John. I certainly wasn't suggesting that I pay anyone peanuts for doing a difficult and potentially dangerous job, really, I was just enquiring about the likely costs, in france (where everything seems inordiately more expensive) including what is the value of the wood. I do realise that pine is most likely the lowest value out of the range & wondered how low is low? if wood were no longer a resource, then it would be of no significance, but I am sure it will be worth something even if it is relatively small in comparison with the cost of felling the trees. I don't think I suggested anywhere, that I was not prepared to pay the going rate so I don't understand where you got that idea, I only asked how much the going rate is.
Are you upset about tree felling for some reason? maybe you didn't feel your work was well enough paid. I certainly feel that way about my own industry -event waste recycling and then mental health nursing.
Hi Jo. PC is a large area. I could get you the details of a person near Confolens. You would be looking at at least 300 euros. And wood is 45 euros a stere all chopped up.
Hi I am a retired tree surgeon, without seeing the trees one cannot price as how long is a bit of string. We must ask can the trees be felled in one as have a large area away from the cabin, do they need to be dropped in sections. The cost of wood is of no significance, this is just like back home where people do not what to pay to much and can we sell the wood. Sorry you need to pay the going rate even in France you cannot keep on looking for cheap jobs. As we say pay peanuts and you will get monkeys as well as the P & O builders.
