That includes careful rigging, controlled lowering and tidy stacking for removal.
We start with a site visit to assess the tree’s condition, access, and any risks to fences, sheds, conservatories or neighbouring gardens. You’ll get a clear plan, agreed timings, and options for stump removal or stump grinding depending on your next steps for the space. We’re fully insured and experienced with emergency work and insurance work, including storm-damaged trees.

Costs depend on height, spread, access, and whether sectional dismantling is needed. In Lewisham, small trees can start around £250–£600, while medium removals are often £600–£1,500.

Many straightforward removals take half a day, while larger trees or tight-access gardens may take a full day. Sectional dismantling, heavy rigging, or multiple stems can extend work to 1–2 days, especially if there’s extensive site clearance. Stump grinding is commonly 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales are affected by access, proximity to buildings, waste volume, and whether emergency work is required after storms.
Often you can remove trees on private property without formal permission, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or are within conservation areas, and permission may be required before any work. As part of our service, we can help check constraints and advise on the correct route. If urgent safety work is needed, we’ll document the condition and proceed appropriately.
