Response within 24 hours
From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we carry out removals with a focus on safety and minimal disruption. Our team regularly works around Dulwich Park and the residential streets of East Dulwich, where access and neighbouring properties need extra care. Whether you need tree felling, sectional dismantling or urgent call-outs, we plan each job to protect your home and garden. All waste is removed, leaving your outdoor space ready to use.
Dulwich’s affluent village atmosphere and period architecture often means mature trees close to buildings, boundaries and conservatories. We’re used to working beside Georgian and Victorian houses, plus large detached properties with long rear gardens. In SE21, SE22 and SE24, narrow side returns and shared driveways can make machinery access tricky, so we bring the right kit for controlled dismantling. If you’re in West Dulwich or near Dulwich Village, we’ll tailor the approach to your plot and access.
We start with a site survey, risk assessment and a clear method statement, then choose between felling or sectional dismantling depending on space. Stumps can be ground out below soil level or fully removed where replanting or paving is planned. We include site clearance and waste removal as standard, and we can support insurance work following damage. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication, and a 10-year warranty for qualifying follow-on landscaping.
As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan around resident parking controls, school-run traffic near Dulwich College, and tighter access in period streets. Gardens here often have established root systems and old boundary walls, so we use low-impact methods and protective ground coverings where needed. We also factor in noise-sensitive times and neighbour proximity, especially in terraced sections of Herne Hill and East Dulwich. Our team is based just 20 minutes away, so scheduling is straightforward.

Costs vary by height, trunk diameter, access, and whether dismantling is required. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£500, while medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200. Large trees near buildings, requiring sectional dismantling and rigging, can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 depending on size and quantity. We’ll confirm after a site visit in SE21–SE24.
Many small removals can be completed in half a day, including waste removal. Medium trees commonly take a full day, especially where sectional dismantling is needed. Larger or more complex jobs can run over 1–3 days, particularly if there are multiple stems, limited access, or extensive site clearance. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. We’ll provide a realistic schedule after assessing access and nearby structures.
Often, you can remove a tree on private land without formal 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 notice before work starts. If the tree is dangerous, different rules can apply, but evidence is usually needed. We check protections, advise on the process, and can help with the paperwork before any work proceeds.
Yes. Our tree removal is carried out to professional standards, and we stand by the safety and cleanliness of our workmanship. Where we complete associated landscaping works (such as re-turfing, paving reinstatement or new planting after removal), we provide a 10-year warranty covering installation quality and structural performance for the specified scope. We’ll explain what’s included for your project and how to keep the warranty valid with straightforward aftercare.
After stump grinding or stump removal, you can choose several finishes depending on how you want to use the space. Popular options include topsoil and re-turfing, reseeding for a lawn repair, new planting beds, or preparing the area for paving or a patio. If you’re replanting, we can advise on suitable tree sizes and root management near period properties. We’ll recommend the best option based on drainage, sunlight and future plans.
