From compact rear gardens near New Cross station to larger plots around Telegraph Hill, we remove trees with minimal disruption. Our team handles everything from straightforward tree felling to careful sectional dismantling over sheds, patios and neighbouring boundaries. We also provide stump grinding and full waste removal, leaving your garden ready for the next stage. If you need emergency work after storm damage, we can respond quickly across SE14.
New Cross has a mix of Victorian terraces, Georgian houses and converted flats, often with narrow side access and shared pathways. That’s why our approach is planned around safe rigging, controlled lowering and efficient removal routes. We regularly support homeowners in Deptford, Brockley and Nunhead where trees can overhang gardens, roofs and rear extensions. If access is tight, we can dismantle in sections and remove arisings without clogging up communal areas.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, hazards, access and disposal requirements, then provide a clear written quote. On the day, we protect lawns and paving, keep the work area organised, and remove all waste as agreed. Insurance work is handled with proper documentation and photos where needed. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, safe methods and a clean finish every time.
Working in the London Borough of Lewisham means planning around controlled parking, narrow streets and limited rear access. In SE14, we often use compact equipment and sectional lowering to protect fences, brick walls and neighbouring gardens. We also factor in local ground conditions and buried services before stump removal. If council checks or restrictions apply, we’ll guide you through the right steps before work begins.

Costs in New Cross vary with height, trunk diameter, access and whether sectional dismantling is needed. As a guide, small trees can start from around £250–£500, while medium removals often fall between £600–£1,200. Large or complex removals near buildings or over conservatories can be £1,500–£3,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on size and depth.
Many small tree removals take half a day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Medium jobs are often completed in a day, especially if sectional dismantling and rigging are required. Larger trees, multiple stems or difficult access can take 1–2 days, sometimes longer if cranes or extensive site clearance are needed. Time also depends on parking, distance to the chipper, and stump grinding requirements.
Most garden tree removals don’t need planning permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which can require consent or prior notice. We’ll help you check the tree’s status with the London Borough of Lewisham and advise on the correct process before booking work, so you stay compliant.
We provide a 10-year warranty on our workmanship where applicable, covering issues arising from the work we’ve carried out, such as incomplete stump grinding to the agreed depth or reinstatement problems in the worked area. It doesn’t cover future tree growth from neighbouring roots, new planting, or damage caused by extreme weather after completion. You’ll receive clear paperwork detailing what’s included.
You can choose stump grinding (most popular for quick reuse of the space) or full stump removal where excavation is needed for foundations or paving. Waste can be chipped and removed, or left as mulch if you prefer. We can also clear the site for turfing, planting beds or new fencing, and advise on replacement trees suited to smaller New Cross gardens and light levels.
