Pricing guide
The cost of a storm damage make‑safe largely depends on how the work can be carried out and the equipment required. Ground‑based jobs using short ladders and a small crew are typically less complex than aerial rope‑access or crane/Hiab operations, which introduce specialist labour, rigging and permit needs. After‑hours callouts and difficult site access can also increase the final price.
Access and work height
Jobs reachable from the ground or short ladders are usually quicker and simpler than those requiring work at height.
Rope‑access or elevated platform needs
Rope‑access or elevated work platforms generally require trained operators and extra rigging time, increasing labour and specialist-equipment allowances.
Crane and heavy‑lift requirements
When sectional lowering is unsafe, crane or Hiab hire is often needed and brings higher coordination, operator fees and variability.
Permits and traffic management
Large lifts or work near roads may require council permits and traffic control, which add planning and coordination to the job.
Debris handling and materials
Chipping, disposal, small equipment hire and tip fees are commonly included in materials and increase with the volume of debris.
