If a tree is blocking light, lifting paving, or has become unsafe, we can remove it efficiently and with minimal disruption. We work across SE6, including routes around Catford Broadway and nearby Mountsfield Park where access and parking can be tight. Our team carries out everything from controlled tree felling to careful sectional dismantling over sheds, patios and conservatories. All arisings are removed, leaving your garden ready for the next step.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council properties often means smaller gardens, shared boundaries and close neighbours. That’s why we plan the job around safe drop zones, noise management and clean handling of timber and brash. Whether you’re in Hither Green, Bellingham, Downham or Grove Park, we tailor the method to your plot and access. If needed, we can grind stumps below ground level for re-turfing or replanting.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, hazards, and the safest removal approach. You’ll get clear, written guidance on options such as stump grinding versus full stump removal, plus waste removal and site clearance. Our work is fully insured, and we’re used to handling emergency work after storms as well as insurance work with photos and documentation. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, careful protection of surfaces, and a thorough tidy-up at the end.
Catford streets often involve narrow access, on-street parking and shared rear paths, so we plan equipment and waste removal accordingly. We’re familiar with the London Borough of Lewisham approach to protected trees and will help check constraints before work starts. Ground conditions vary from compacted lawns to established garden borders, which affects stump grinding depth and reinstatement. As tree removal contractors Catford area homeowners rely on, we work neatly around fences, patios and neighbouring gardens.

Costs vary by height, spread, access and whether the tree needs sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £350–£650, medium trees typically fall between £650–£1,400, and large or complex removals can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is usually £120–£450 depending on diameter and access. Waste removal and site clearance may be included or priced separately.
Many small removals are completed in half a day, while medium trees commonly take a full day including waste removal. Large trees, multi-stem specimens, or jobs requiring careful sectional dismantling can take 1–3 days. Timescales depend on access for equipment, proximity to buildings and fences, the amount of timber to process, and whether stump grinding or full stump removal is included. We’ll confirm timings after a site assessment.
Often, garden tree removal is permitted, but there are important exceptions. Trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which may require consent or a formal notice period. We can help you identify whether restrictions apply and advise on the correct route before any work begins. If emergency work is needed for safety, we’ll document the condition with photos for compliance and records.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship relating to the removal and reinstatement elements we carry out, such as stump grinding depth to the agreed level and making good where specified. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but our warranty covers issues caused by poor practice, not future ground movement, hidden services, or pre-existing root damage. We’ll set out what’s included in writing before starting.
You can choose stump grinding (the most popular) to take the stump below ground level, or full stump removal where access allows. After grinding, we can backfill with topsoil, leave grindings for mulch, or prepare the area for turfing, planting or a new patio base. If you’re planning a replant, we’ll advise on depth and soil improvement. As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Lewisham, we’ll match the finish to your garden plans.
