macberran 2 Posted July 11, 2009 Report Share Posted July 11, 2009 I have a small farm, sheep and some pigs, though the main money comes from building. I oversee renovations and rebuilds mainly. Anyway I have too get a bat survey done and I got a quote, he very calmly told me £300 a day and thats an 8 hour day and £60 p/hr evening and morning surveys. I put the phone down, thats 75k a year. I could make that of course though I would be on crime watch for defrauding old ladies with blocked sinks. What really gets me is they don't do anything or offer any solutions. They just fill out the liscence and count the bats then you go ahead with the work anyway. What did the bats do before this then. How long did they survive before this shower of robbing graduate tree-hugging gits turned up! Thats not all, I phoned a structural engineer mate of mine who had had a quote £90 and £86.50 AN HOUR. I know good and I mean good masons and carpenters who work a 9hr day for £120. Shocking absolute fraud. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I know good and I mean good masons and carpenters who work a 9hr day for £120. Shocking absolute fraud. I work in a builders merchant theres a bat doctor that comes in there he can charge up to 1000 pound an inspection, One of the builders doing a barn conversion which had bats in had to have an inspection then make a new bat house for them, Had to have slate roof felt and battern, double skin cavity walls, windows and doors with a little gap for them to get in and out of, Then along comes another big bill for the profssionals to move the bats in by transfering droppings etc into the new bat house. Whos to say they will even stay in there!! The cost is unbelievable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
