    Yeh - I had one of those chancers round the other day  :/

    I've learned the hard way - it's frustrating. I got done by a window cleaner the other day against my better judgement, just trying to be generous and helpful as was a young guy.

    We chose a local firm who were members of the Arboricultural Assoc. The firm we chose were also used by local  Nat. Trust properties and we also checked recommendations. We have been impressed and pleased with their work. 
    I would never use one of the so called ‘Tree Surgeons’ who knock on our doors from time to time offering to ‘deal with your trees’. 
    Good advice, many thanks. I'll get on it and post back if anyone is interested!
    Yes … do let us know how you get on 😊

    It's very frustrating. I've had problems with window cleaners too. Just trying to get a decent, reliable one is difficult.  :|

    I use the Nextdoor app to get recommendations from folk in my area for reliable tradesmen. Haven’t had a dud yet. 👍

    @Dovefromabove Another good tip, thanks! I've also had such a bad run with tradesman - worst thing is it's hard to leave a bad review because you're fearful of the retaliation!

    I can barely get folk to reply to queries  :/

    Yes everyone is so busy at the moment. I couldn't find any landscapers to build a deck this year, so I'm currently building it myself - already regretting my decision!
