From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we provide professional tree removal tailored to Mitcham homes. Our team regularly works near Mitcham Common and around Mitcham Junction station, where access and public footpaths need extra care. Whether you need full tree felling or controlled sectional dismantling, we plan each job to protect fences, sheds, patios and neighbouring properties. All waste is removed and the site left clean and usable.
Mitcham’s mix of Victorian cottages, 1930s semis and modern estates often means tight side access, shared driveways and close boundary lines. In Pollards Hill and Eastfields, we frequently dismantle trees in sections to avoid damage and minimise disruption. If roots are lifting paving or encroaching on drains, stump grinding or full stump removal can prevent regrowth and help with replanting. We’re based just 10 minutes away, so surveys and call-outs are straightforward to arrange.
We start with a clear assessment of tree condition, access routes and drop zones, then recommend the safest method: felling, sectional dismantling, or emergency making-safe. You’ll receive a written scope of works, and we can include stump grinding, site clearance and waste removal in one visit. We work with care around lawns and borders, using protective boards where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, tidy workmanship and accountable aftercare.
As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Merton, we’re used to Mitcham’s varied access, from narrow Victorian side passages to modern estate parking bays. Near Figges Marsh and the CR4 streets around Mitcham Cricket Green, we plan vehicle positioning and chipper use to reduce noise and keep pavements clear. Ground conditions can vary from compacted lawns to softer edges near green spaces, so we use boards and careful rigging to prevent rutting. We also help check constraints such as TPOs and conservation considerations before work begins.

Costs in Mitcham vary with tree size, access, and whether you need sectional dismantling, stump grinding, or full stump removal. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£500, medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200, and large or complex dismantles can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£400 depending on diameter and depth. We provide a site-specific quote after assessment.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, while larger trees or tight-access dismantling can take a full day or more. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes, depending on size and root spread. Timescales are affected by access (narrow alleys, shared drives), proximity to buildings, and whether waste removal and site clearance are included. If emergency work is needed after storms, we prioritise making the area safe first, then return to complete removal if required.
Often, you won’t need permission to remove a garden tree, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO), and properties in certain areas may fall within conservation controls that require notice. If the tree is dead or dangerous, different rules can apply, but evidence is usually needed. We help you check protections and advise on the correct process with the London Borough of Merton before any work starts.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty, covering the quality of the completed works such as stump grinding depth agreed, reinstatement scope, and site clearance standards. While no contractor can guarantee how surrounding plants respond to changes in light or soil after a tree is removed, we do guarantee that the job is carried out safely, to the agreed specification, and left tidy. If any agreed element is missed, we return to put it right.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding (most popular for re-turfing), full stump removal for deeper landscaping changes, or leaving a habitat stump where appropriate. Many homeowners then opt for replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, creating a new bed, or extending a patio or lawn. We can also carry out site clearance and soil preparation so the area is ready for your next project. We’ll recommend options based on light, space, and long-term maintenance.
