From gardens off King’s Road to properties near Stamford Bridge, we provide professional tree removal with minimal disruption. Our team carries out tree felling or controlled sectional dismantling to suit confined spaces and neighbouring boundaries. We can grind or remove stumps to leave the area ready for replanting, paving or turf. All waste is removed and the site left clean and secure.
Chelsea’s Georgian townhouses, Victorian mansions and luxury apartments often come with mature trees close to buildings, walls and shared access ways. We plan every job around restricted driveways, basement lightwells and narrow side returns, common in SW3 and SW10. Whether it’s a single hazardous tree or multiple removals as part of a garden redesign, we tailor the method to the property. Homeowners in nearby South Kensington and Knightsbridge also rely on our careful approach.
We start with a site visit to assess stability, access, and any risks to roofs, glazing and neighbouring gardens. You’ll receive a clear scope of works covering waste removal, stump grinding, and optional stump removal where required. Our crews use modern rigging and protective measures to safeguard paving, planting and exterior finishes. For urgent situations, we offer emergency work and can support insurance work with the right documentation.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means controlled noise, considerate scheduling, and careful parking and loading plans. Many Chelsea streets have limited access, so we use compact equipment and staged waste removal to keep disruption down. Ground conditions vary from established garden beds to hard landscaping over compacted sub-bases, which affects stump grinding depth and finish. We also adapt protection for delicate stonework, railings and premium paving common around Pimlico and Fulham borders.

Costs in Chelsea vary with tree size, access, and whether sectional dismantling is needed. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £350–£700, medium trees commonly fall between £800–£1,800, and large or complex dismantles can be £2,000–£4,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Waste removal, parking constraints and emergency work can affect totals.
Many straightforward removals take half a day to one day, including waste removal. Sectional dismantling near buildings or over conservatories can take one to two days, especially when rigging is required. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes per stump, but multiple stumps may take longer. Timeframes depend on access, tree condition, proximity to utilities, and whether site clearance is included.
In many cases, removing a tree in a private garden is permitted, 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. We check the relevant constraints and advise on the correct process before work begins. If the tree is dangerous, there are often exemptions, but evidence may be needed.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed landscaping works we complete as part of reinstatement (such as re-turfing, replanting beds, or new paving after removal). For stump grinding, we grind to the specified depth and leave the area tidy, with options for backfilling and topsoil. We also carry appropriate insurance for tree work and can assist with insurance work documentation.
After stump grinding or stump removal, popular next steps include re-turfing, planting new specimen trees, creating raised beds, or installing paving or gravel for seating areas. We can also improve drainage, add edging, or refresh borders to suit Chelsea-style courtyards and townhouse gardens. We’ll help you choose based on light levels, root space, and how you want to use the area, then finish with tidy site clearance.
