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

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.

    • Shame, she seemed a decent Transport Secretary, it's not as if Grant Shapps never did anything wrong.  It's also a shame that some seem to enjoy these sorts of revelations. She declared the offence so not sure why she needed to resign.  I thought that in the UK we had a culture of forgiveness. 
    • It looks like indiscretions, crimes, incompetency etc  by MPs generates a lot of responses so it might be a good time to start a new thread every time a new scandal emerges. Heaven knows there are enough of them from all parties.
    • It's not Thames Water's responsibility to keep Peckham Rye free of water, no. But the recent works designed to to hold water in the park: “capturing about 6 Olympic-sized swimming pools worth of surface water and releasing it very slowly”, where undertaken to stop houses from flooding. The increased risk of houses flooding is the result of a drainage and sewage system which are in dire need of upgrading / modernising, and unable to cope. And this, Thames Water are responsible for. We are paying for their under investment (over many, many years) in the drainage and sewage system; In cash terms - funding the works to modify the park, holding more water in it to, and through the loss of amenity that follows from the park being waterlogged more frequently.  
    • Aria helped us out this week. He replaced ballcocks in our loft tanks. These had caused a leak whilst we were away on holiday. He also installed a new radiator. Responsive to our requirements. Communication was really good, costs reasonable.  Nice guy. Very happy to recommend.
