If your trees are shading rooms, overhanging neighbours, or dropping limbs in high winds, our team can help. We carry out tree felling, crown reduction, pruning, stump removal and hedge work across SW12. Many jobs are around Balham station and along Balham High Road, where access and parking need careful planning. You’ll get clear advice, safe working practices, and a clean finish.
Balham’s gardens vary from compact courtyards to generous family plots, especially around Balham Hill and Nightingale. Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often have mature trees close to boundaries, outbuildings and conservatories. That means precision cuts, controlled lowering, and protection of paving, lawns and planting beds. Our tree contractors Balham area homeowners rely on understand these constraints and work accordingly.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, structural risk and your goals, then recommend the best option—prune, reduce, fell, or plant. Where needed, we provide tree reports and guidance on safety and long-term maintenance. Every job is carried out by trained, insured professionals with strict housekeeping and waste removal included. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, respectful neighbours-first working, and results that last.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth often means narrow side access, resident parking controls and shared driveways. Near Tooting Bec Common, wind exposure can increase limb drop risk, so we prioritise structural pruning and sensible reductions. We protect period brickwork, slate paths and garden walls common to Balham’s older homes. If permissions or notifications are required, our tree contractors in London Borough of Wandsworth will help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs depend on size, access, waste removal and whether climbing or a MEWP is needed. As a guide in Balham, small pruning jobs often start around £180–£350, while crown reductions commonly fall between £350–£900. Tree felling can range from £450–£1,800+ depending on complexity. Stump removal is typically £120–£450 per stump. We provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit.
Many pruning or hedge-work visits take 2–4 hours, while a medium crown reduction is often completed within half a day. Larger fells with sectional dismantling and stump grinding can take a full day, sometimes longer for multiple trees. Timescales are affected by access through terraced properties, proximity to buildings, the amount of timber to remove, and any need for traffic or neighbour coordination. We’ll confirm timings before booking.
Most routine tree maintenance on private property is permitted, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. In those cases, you may need consent or to give the council notice before pruning or felling. We’ll ask the right questions, check protections where possible, and help you follow the correct process so your work is compliant.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the completed work, such as the quality of pruning cuts, crown reduction specification and stump grinding depth where stated. It doesn’t cover future storm damage, disease progression, or issues caused by third-party alterations, but we’ll always advise on risk reduction and aftercare. If anything isn’t right, we return promptly to put it right.
For planting, popular choices include multi-stem ornamentals for smaller gardens, pleached screening trees for privacy, and native species to support wildlife. Pruning options range from formative pruning for young trees to crown thinning or reduction for light and clearance. For hedges, we handle reductions, reshaping and renovation cuts. We’ll recommend options based on garden size, light levels, soil conditions and the look you want to achieve.
