Response within 24 hours
From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide professional removals across SE5 with minimal disruption. We’re regularly called out near Denmark Hill station and around King’s College Hospital, where parking and access can be challenging. Whether it’s planned tree felling or urgent emergency work, we arrive prepared with the right kit and a clear method statement. All waste is removed, leaving your garden tidy and usable.
Denmark Hill’s Victorian terraces and Georgian houses often have long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries, so precision matters. We’re used to working over sheds, conservatories and neighbouring fences, using sectional dismantling where a straight fell isn’t safe. Purpose-built flats and managed blocks can require careful coordination for communal areas and access routes. If you’re in Camberwell or Herne Hill, we tailor the approach to your property’s layout and constraints.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, access, and any risks to buildings or services. You’ll get a clear plan covering tree felling or dismantling, stump grinding or full stump removal, plus site clearance and waste removal. We work with robust safety controls and carry appropriate insurance for domestic and insurance work. Homeowners trust us because we communicate clearly, protect surrounding landscaping, and finish the job properly.
As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for restricted access, controlled parking, and considerate working hours. Denmark Hill’s period streets often mean narrow side returns and limited drop zones, so we use rigging and careful lowering. We also account for nearby footfall around Maudsley Hospital and Ruskin Park when organising safe loading and removal. Our team adapts the method to your property and the immediate surroundings, not a one-size-fits-all approach.

Costs vary by height, spread, condition, access and whether you need stump grinding. As a guide in Denmark Hill, small tree removals may start around £250–£500, medium trees often fall in the £600–£1,200 range, and large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on size and number. We’ll confirm after a site visit.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, while medium removals with stump grinding often take a full day. Large trees, tight access, or complex sectional dismantling can run 1–2 days, especially if rigging is needed to protect fences and neighbouring gardens. Timeframes also depend on waste volume, parking for the chipper/lorry, and whether you want extra site clearance. We’ll provide a realistic schedule before starting.
Often, removing a tree in a private garden 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 a formal notice period. If the tree is dangerous, different rules may apply with evidence. We check likely constraints, advise on the process, and can help with supporting details for applications.
Yes. We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on relevant landscaping reinstatement we carry out as part of the job (for example, making good ground levels after stump removal or repairs to disturbed areas). Tree removal itself is completed to an agreed specification, with waste removed and the site left tidy. If you notice an issue linked to our work, we’ll inspect and put it right promptly.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy) or full stump removal where you need deeper excavation for building or paving. For finishes, many homeowners opt for topsoil and turf, fresh planting beds, or gravel/stepping-stone areas. If you’re replanting, we’ll advise on suitable species and spacing for smaller Southwark gardens. We’ll also discuss whether you want the arisings chipped for mulch or fully taken away.
