We regularly work on Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where access can be via side alleys, steps or narrow driveways.

Costs vary with height, species, access and whether waste is removed. As a guide in SE19, small pruning jobs often start around £180–£350, while crown reductions on medium trees are commonly £450–£900. Tree felling with controlled dismantling is typically £650–£1,800+ depending on complexity. Stump grinding is usually £120–£350 per stump. We’ll confirm an accurate range after a site visit.
Many pruning or hedge-work visits take half a day, while a straightforward crown reduction is often completed in a day. Complex dismantles near buildings, conservatories or tight rear access can take 1–2 days, sometimes longer for very large trees. Stump grinding is commonly 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access, waste volume, weather, and whether traffic or pedestrian management is required.
Often, routine pruning and maintenance can be done without formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or prior notice. If you’re unsure, we’ll help check the relevant constraints and advise on the correct process before starting. We can also supply tree reports to support applications where needed.
