From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we deliver careful removals across Kensington. Our teams regularly work near Kensington Gardens and Kensington High Street, where access and neighbour considerations matter. Whether you’re in South Kensington or Earl’s Court, we plan each job to protect paving, planting and surrounding properties. All arisings are removed, leaving your site clean and usable.
Kensington’s homes often include stucco townhouses, mansion blocks and period conversions with mature gardens and shared boundaries. That means tight side returns, delicate railings and valuable finishes that can’t be risked. We’re experienced as tree removal contractors Kensington area homeowners rely on when cranes aren’t practical and controlled rigging is essential. For courtyards and communal gardens, we coordinate timings to reduce disruption for residents and building managers.
We start with a site survey, risk assessment and a clear method statement, then choose the safest approach: tree felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling when it doesn’t. Stump grinding or full stump removal is offered to suit replanting, paving or turfing plans. We’re fully insured and can assist with emergency work and insurance work, including photos and documentation. Homeowners trust us for punctuality, tidy workmanship and transparent communication from start to finish.
Working in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea often means controlled noise, careful parking and considerate timings. Many streets around Holland Park and W8 have restricted access, so we plan loading, chipper placement and waste removal to keep footways clear. Mature trees near basement excavations and older brickwork require extra attention to root zones and ground stability. As tree removal contractors in Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, we adapt methods and equipment to suit each property’s constraints.

Costs in Kensington vary with tree size, access and whether sectional dismantling is required. Small tree removals typically start around £350–£650. Medium trees are often £650–£1,500, while large or complex dismantles can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Emergency work and crane/road management can increase costs; we provide a written quote after a survey.
A straightforward small tree can often be removed within half a day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Medium removals usually take one day, especially if rigging is needed. Large trees or tight-access sectional dismantling can take 1–3 days, sometimes longer for multiple trees and full site clearance. Timescales depend on access, proximity to buildings, nesting checks, and whether stump grinding or full stump removal is included.
Permission isn’t always required, but many trees in Kensington are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or fall within conservation areas. Before any work, we check the property location and tree status and advise on the correct route. If consent is needed, we can help with the information required for an application. For emergency work on dangerous trees, there are specific rules and evidence requirements, which we can guide you through.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on associated landscaping reinstatement we carry out (such as re-laying paving, edging or turf repairs after access). Tree removal itself is completed to agreed specifications, with clear sign-off and site photos if requested. For stump grinding, we confirm depth and finish level to suit your next use of the area. Any issues linked to our work are addressed promptly and professionally.
After stump grinding or stump removal, popular options include re-turfing, replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, installing raised beds, or extending paving for seating and bins. In townhouse gardens and mansion block courtyards, many clients choose low-maintenance planting or permeable surfaces to aid drainage. We’ll advise on soil condition, root remnants and levels, then prepare the area for your chosen finish. If you want a replacement tree, we can suggest suitable species and spacing.
