Do you need UK tickets these days if you're running your own business as well?
Yes, the same. If you're earning money with a saw, forest, garden, wherever, and the HSE (Health and Safety Executive) catch you without tickets and PPE, you're up in court.
So I'm from there, and can live and work anywhere in EuropeThere is a qualification you have to do here for anything you can think of. Technically I need to go on a day long course to pull a trailer (just behind a car) on the road. The chainsaw tickets you have to have if you are earning a living with it.

For machinery use there are the same things but they are not so much of a legal requirement but a lot of landowners and employers want them. The worst part is that there are different tests for each type of forwarder you can imagine; 6 wheel, 8 wheel, tractor based, roof mounted crane, bunk mounted crane, trailer mounted crane. Buy a new machine and you can find yourself unqualified!
Bad news, because in the future we possibly might go back to Surrey for some time, and I had this idea might as well carry my equipment there and do some tree work.
Oh what part of Surrey? We're on the Kent/Surrey border. Have you done any forestry work here?
