When To Call Us Now

Dangerous large trees, made safe

If a large tree has failed or is about to, don't risk it. These are the jobs we mobilise for quickly across London & Surrey.

01

Storm-Damaged Trees

High winds have split, snapped or part-uprooted a large tree. We make it safe and remove it cleanly.

02

Fallen Across A Drive Or Road

A big tree down across access, a road or a structure — cleared and processed on site.

03

Leaning Or Uprooting

A large tree leaning further after wet or windy weather, with lifting roots — assessed and taken down under control.

04

Split Or Hung-Up Limbs

Major limbs torn, split or hung up in the canopy over a house, garden or path — rigged down safely.

05

Dead Or Decayed Near A House

Standing deadwood is unpredictable. We dismantle from the top down with rigging, never an uncontrolled fell.

06

Root-Failed Trees

Heave, fungal decay or undermined roots on a mature tree — removed before it comes down on its own.

Made Safe, Properly

Controlled take-down, not a gamble

Every dangerous-tree job starts with a rapid site survey and a written method statement. We make the immediate area safe, then dismantle from the top down with rigging — or crane-assist where the drop zone is a roof, a road or all three.

Most of our work is in confined London and Surrey spaces, metres from something we can't damage. We plan the whole dismantle before the first cut.

Insurance-Ready

Documentation for your claim

If the tree came down in a storm and you're claiming, we provide a written quote and documentation suitable for your insurer, plus before-and-after photographs of the work.

Full £10m public liability and £10m employer's liability cover, NPTC qualified operatives, FISA throughout, and City & Guilds Level 3 (0039-34) for trees over 760mm — the qualification most general surgeons don't hold.

Own Crew, No Mess

Chipped and cleared on site

We bring our own kit and chip the arisings on site, so the whole tree is processed where it falls — fewer vehicle movements and no twenty-tonne pile of green waste left behind.

Useful timber can be left at your request or sent to biomass. You're left with a safe, clean site and a single invoice.

Common Questions

Before you call

How fast can you get to a dangerous tree? +

Dangerous trees are prioritised with a 24-hour emergency response and same-week removal. Call the emergency line — +44 (0) 7903 703475 — and we'll advise how to make the area safe while we're on the way.

Do you work 24/7? +

We run a 24-hour emergency line for dangerous trees. If a tree has failed out of hours, call and we'll respond as fast as access and safety allow.

My tree is near power lines — can you help? +

Tell us at the survey. Trees in contact with power lines are made safe in coordination with the network operator; we'll scope it honestly and won't take a risk with live cables.

Large and mature trees are our specialism — we hold City & Guilds Level 3 (0039-34) for trees over 760mm diameter, the work many general surgeons decline.
