From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide safe, professional removals across Honor Oak. Our team regularly works near Honor Oak Park station and around One Tree Hill, where access and slopes can make removals more technical. We offer tree felling, sectional dismantling, stump grinding and complete waste removal. If you need urgent help after high winds, we also carry out emergency work.
Honor Oak’s hilly streets and mature gardens often sit alongside Victorian terraces, Edwardian houses and 1930s semis with tight side access. That’s why we plan each removal around your layout, neighbouring boundaries and any shared pathways. We frequently support homeowners in nearby Forest Hill and Brockley where gardens back onto other plots. Our approach keeps disruption low while protecting fences, patios, sheds and conservatories.
We start with a site visit to assess stability, access and the safest method—felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling when it doesn’t. All arisings are removed, and we can grind out stumps or carry out full stump removal depending on your plans for replanting or paving. We’re fully insured and experienced with insurance work, including documentation and photos when required. Homeowners trust us for clear communication, punctual arrivals and a clean finish.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to narrow roads, controlled parking and limited loading space, especially around SE23. Honor Oak’s slopes and terraced gardens can affect rigging, lowering and chipper positioning, so we plan equipment placement carefully. Where access is restricted, we use controlled sectional dismantling to protect neighbouring properties. We also schedule waste removal to minimise disruption to residents and pedestrians.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by height, spread, access and whether the tree needs sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200, and large or complex dismantles can be £1,200–£3,000+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£400 depending on size and number. Waste removal and site clearance are usually included in our written quotation.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, while larger trees or restricted-access dismantles can take a full day or more. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes per stump, depending on diameter and root flare. Timescales are affected by proximity to buildings, overhead lines, parking/loading distance, and whether we need to lower sections by rope. We’ll confirm the expected duration after the site assessment.
Often, you can remove a garden tree without formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within a conservation area, which can require consent or a notification period. If the tree is dead or dangerous, rules can still apply but may allow urgent work with evidence. We check protection status and advise on the correct steps before starting.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on agreed elements of the job, such as reinstatement areas and any specified groundworks associated with stump removal. Tree removal itself is a one-off service, but we guarantee the work is carried out safely, as specified, and with waste removed. If an issue arises related to our workmanship, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. Warranty terms are provided in writing.
Once a stump is ground or removed, you can choose to re-turf, replant, install new beds, or extend a patio or path. Many Honor Oak homeowners opt for fresh topsoil and turf, or a new planting scheme suited to partial shade. If you’re planning paving, we can advise on sub-base preparation and levels. We’ll help you choose the best finish based on drainage, sunlight and how you use the garden.
