If a tree is overhanging, storm-damaged, or causing light loss, we can remove it safely and efficiently. Our team works across Croydon, including Addiscombe and South Croydon, with rapid access from our Norbury base in around 10 minutes. We regularly carry out removals near busy routes around East Croydon station where access and timing matter. Every job includes controlled cutting, clear communication, and thorough clean-up.
Croydon’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and modern developments means no two gardens are the same. Tight side access in CR0 terraces often calls for sectional dismantling, while larger plots around Sanderstead or Selsdon can suit straight felling where safe. We plan around conservatories, outbuildings, fences and neighbouring boundaries. Whether you’re in a townhouse near the Whitgift Centre or a family semi in Shirley, we tailor the method to your property.
We start with a site visit to assess hazards, access, and the best removal approach. You’ll get a clear written scope covering tree felling, stump grinding or full stump removal, plus waste removal and site clearance. For urgent issues, we offer emergency work and can support insurance work with photos and job notes. Homeowners choose us for careful workmanship, tidy finishes, and dependable scheduling.
Working in the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to narrow drives, parking restrictions and shared access between neighbours. Ground conditions vary from compacted clay lawns to landscaped new-build gardens, so we choose the right machinery and protection boards. We also plan loading and chipper placement to keep disruption down on busier streets near CR2 and CR9. If permissions or protected status apply, we help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs depend on tree size, access, and whether stump work is included. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£500, while medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200. Large or complex sectional dismantles near buildings can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 depending on diameter and location. Waste removal and emergency work can affect the final figure.
Many straightforward removals take half a day, especially where there’s good access for lowering and waste removal. Sectional dismantling in tight gardens can take a full day, and larger trees may run into two days if rigging is required. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timing is influenced by tree height, proximity to structures, parking/loading distance, and whether site clearance is included.
Most garden tree work doesn’t need planning 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 formal notice to the council. We’ll ask the right questions, check available records where possible, and advise on next steps before booking. If a tree is dangerous, emergency provisions may apply, with evidence required.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship related to the agreed scope, such as stump grinding depth, reinstatement where specified, and making good of disturbed areas. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but our guarantee covers the quality and completeness of what we’ve been contracted to do. If you notice an issue linked to our work, we’ll inspect promptly and put it right where appropriate.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy), full stump removal (for deeper excavation), or leaving the stump if it’s out of the way. For the cleared space, popular options include re-turfing, planting a smaller ornamental tree, creating a new bed with edging, or laying a patio or path. We’ll recommend the best option based on light levels, root spread, soil condition and how you use the garden.
