Graham. I know of an Arb Consultant that undertakes this type of work through the tree guys we use daily. He's based just south of Farnham, but I don't have his details to hand until I'm back in the Yard on Monday. PM or EMail to remind me and I'll get it for you.
From comments (and a little experience from commercial sites) it will be small fortune :-(
Thanks Gary,
I suspect around the £1 - 1.5K mark which would be money well spent if the report went in the right direction :-)
Graeme i know someone that had 3 silver birch and 1 sycamore done for a building plot.
that was over £1,000 possibly vat, maybe £1,500 - its not cheap. id guess £3,000+ , but maybe still worth it as land is no use or value if they can't buid and use / sell it ..
the company was at a show and based in wales i think. (i maybe wrong)(could be down south) and can get the details easily if you need them.
Graeme, Message sent with a recommended Arb Consulatant's details :-)
We principally work as arb consultants and I would not expect the cost of a survey of 20 trees to exceed £1000.
Below is an example of the type of drawings you should expect back, as well as a concise report and hopefully some good advice.
Thanks Scott. I think the prices in the South East are a tad higher than Wales :-(
We work nationwide :)
I will pass your details on. Thanks
Provided it's not urgent, Graeme. We're very busy due to the storms just now.
In general terms I'd agree wiyth what the thread seems to suggest: that the cost of tree surveys can be very variable. Equally, as has been suggested, if the arboricultural submissions gets the the result the applicant's after, whether it's by putting goether a good protection or replacement strategy in order to offset some trees removed, then it can be very valuable.
In any event, I'd suggest shopping around and asking for exaamples of work prior to appointing. Cost alone would certainly not be the best index to look at.
