If a tree is blocking light, leaning after storms, or outgrowing its space, we can help. Our team works across SW12, including around Balham station and Bedford Hill, handling everything from careful sectional dismantling to full site clearance. We plan each job to protect fences, patios and nearby planting. You’ll get a clear scope of work and a clean finish.
Balham’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and mansion conversions often come with compact gardens and shared boundaries. That’s why many jobs in Balham Hill, Nightingale and Clapham South require controlled rigging and piece-by-piece removal rather than a straight drop. We’re used to narrow side access, delicate paving, and working close to conservatories and outbuildings. Our local setup means we can be on site quickly—typically around 15 minutes from base.
We start with a site survey, risk assessment and access plan, then recommend the safest method: tree felling or sectional dismantling. Stumps can be ground out below surface level or fully removed, depending on your next plans for the garden. All arisings are taken away, and we leave paths and borders tidy. Homeowners choose our tree removal contractors balham area for reliable communication, careful workmanship and dependable aftercare.
Working in the London Borough of Wandsworth means factoring in parking controls, narrow streets and busy times on Balham High Road.

Near Tooting Bec Common and the surrounding clay-heavy soils, root systems can be extensive, so we advise on stump options and ground reinstatement. This practical approach is why clients look for tree removal contractors in London Borough of Wandsworth who can manage the details.

Costs vary with height, spread, access, proximity to buildings, and whether you need stump grinding. As a guide, small trees can start from around £250–£500, medium trees often fall between £600–£1,200, and large or complex sectional dismantles may be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on diameter and access. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many straightforward removals take half a day, while larger trees or tight-access dismantles typically require a full day. Very complex jobs—multiple stems, heavy rigging, or crane considerations—can run to two days or more. Time is affected by access through terraced properties, proximity to neighbours, the amount of waste to remove, and whether stump grinding or full stump removal is included. We’ll confirm timings before booking.
Often, you can remove a tree in your garden without formal permission, but there are key exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, where notice or consent is required. We’ll ask the right questions, check protections where needed, and advise on the correct route before any work starts. If emergency work is necessary for safety, we document the condition appropriately.
We back our work with a 10-year warranty on workmanship for agreed elements such as stump grinding depth, reinstatement where specified, and site clearance standards. It covers defects arising from how the work was carried out, not future issues caused by ground movement, hidden services, or new landscaping by others. We also operate with appropriate insurance and follow safe working practices, giving you confidence from start to finish.
You can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy), full stump removal (more disruptive but clears the root plate), or leaving the stump temporarily if access is limited. After removal, popular next steps include re-turfing, new planting beds, raised planters, or paving for seating areas—common in Balham’s family gardens. We’ll help you choose based on soil conditions, drainage, and what you want to do with the space.
