From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide professional tree removal across SE24 with minimal disruption. We regularly work near Brockwell Park and around Herne Hill station, where access can be tight and neighbours close by. Whether you need full tree felling or controlled sectional dismantling, we plan every cut for safety. All waste is removed, leaving your garden ready to use.
Herne Hill’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and period conversions often have long rear gardens, shared side returns and mature boundary trees. That means removals frequently require rigging, careful lowering and protection for paving, fences and outbuildings. We also serve nearby Dulwich, Brixton and Tulse Hill, where similar property layouts demand a tidy, considered approach. If a stump is causing trip hazards or blocking landscaping plans, we can grind or remove it completely.
We start with a site visit to confirm risks, access, and the best method—felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling where it doesn’t. Our team carries out stump grinding, stump removal, site clearance and waste removal as standard, with options for emergency work and insurance work. You’ll get clear communication, respectful working practices and a clean finish. Local homeowners choose us because we turn complex removals into a straightforward, well-managed job.
Working in the London Borough of Lambeth/Southwark means dealing with narrow streets, controlled parking and limited rear access, especially around SE24. We plan loading, chipper placement and neighbour considerations before we start. Many gardens have mature trees close to extensions, sheds and party fences, so we use rigging and protective boarding where needed. If council constraints apply, we help you navigate them and schedule work accordingly.

Costs in Herne Hill vary mainly by tree size, access and whether sectional dismantling is required. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees commonly fall between £600–£1,500, and large or complex removals can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and location. Waste removal and site clearance are usually included in our pricing.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day to a full day, including tidy-up and waste removal. A small tree with good access can be completed in 2–4 hours, while larger trees needing sectional dismantling may take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access through the property, proximity to buildings, the amount of rigging needed, and whether emergency work is required.
Most tree work on private gardens is permitted, but some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area. In those cases, you may need council consent before felling or major pruning. We’ll ask the right questions, check the likely constraints, and advise on the next steps before booking the work. If permission is needed, we can help you prepare the information required for an application.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for associated landscaping reinstatement we carry out (such as making good ground levels after stump removal, re-laying disturbed edging, or repairing minor access-related damage agreed in advance). Tree removal itself is completed to current safety standards, and we document the work where needed for insurance jobs. Any issues linked to our workmanship are put right promptly, with clear aftercare guidance.
You can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy, ideal for re-turfing or replanting), full stump removal (useful if you’re building or installing paving), or leaving the stump if it’s not in the way. For the site, we can chip branches, remove logs, and clear beds ready for new landscaping. Many Herne Hill homeowners keep logs for firewood or request mulch for borders. We’ll recommend the best option based on your garden plans and access.
