From overhanging branches near Clapham Common to tight rear gardens in Clapham Old Town, tree work here often demands careful planning. We provide professional tree felling, sectional dismantling and full site clearance with minimal disruption. If you’re close to the Bandstand or along busy routes towards Clapham Junction station, we’ll schedule work to suit access and neighbours. All waste is removed and recycled wherever possible.
Clapham’s mix of Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces and modern apartments means access can vary from wide front drives to narrow side returns. Our team is used to working in Clapham North, Clapham South and Clapham Park where gardens are compact and boundaries are close. We bring the right kit for confined spaces, including controlled rigging and stump grinders sized for tight gateways. If your property is in SW4 or SW11, we’ll advise on the safest method before any cutting starts.
We begin with a site visit to assess tree condition, nearby structures, and safe drop zones, then agree a clear method statement. Whether it’s planned removal, emergency work after storms, or insurance work, we document what’s needed and keep communication straightforward. Our crews work with protective boarding where required and complete a full clean-down and waste removal at the end. Homeowners choose us for reliable timings, careful workmanship, and a finish that looks intentional—not like a rushed cut-down.
Working across the London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth means dealing with controlled parking, busy streets and limited loading space. We plan arrivals, chipper placement and waste removal to reduce obstruction, especially near Clapham Junction station and around Clapham Common. Clay-heavy ground can rut easily in wet weather, so we use ground protection and lighter equipment where needed. Property layouts vary, so we adapt methods to side access widths and shared alleyways common in terraces.

Costs in Clapham typically range from £250–£600 for a small tree, £600–£1,500 for medium removals, and £1,500–£3,500+ for large or complex dismantles near buildings. Stump grinding is often £120–£350 depending on diameter and access. Emergency work and crane/road management can increase costs. We provide a written quote after assessing size, access, and waste volume.
A straightforward small tree can be removed in 2–4 hours, while a medium dismantle is often half a day. Large sectional dismantling with rigging, multiple stems, or restricted access can take 1–2 days. Stump grinding usually adds 30–90 minutes. Timescales depend on access width, proximity to buildings, whether waste is removed, and any parking or loading constraints on your street.
Many garden tree removals are permitted, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Lambeth and Wandsworth have their own processes and notice periods, and penalties for unauthorised work can be serious. We’ll ask the right questions, check protection status where possible, and guide you on applications or notices before booking the job in.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on eligible landscaping elements we install or reinstate as part of the job (for example, repaired edging, re-laid paving sections, or reinstated ground finishes). For stump grinding, we guarantee the stump is ground to the agreed depth and the site is left safe and tidy. Natural regrowth from roots can occur with some species; we’ll advise on prevention options.
Most Clapham homeowners choose stump grinding, which removes the stump below ground level and allows replanting or turfing. Full stump removal is available where you need excavation for foundations, patios or new planting beds. We can backfill with topsoil, level and seed, lay turf, or prepare a base for paving. If you’re replanting, we’ll recommend suitable species and spacing for your garden size and light levels.
