Whether a tree is overcrowding your garden or posing a safety risk, we remove it with minimal disruption and a thorough clean-up. We regularly work around Nunhead Cemetery and the surrounding SE15 streets, where access can be tight and neighbours are close by. From careful sectional dismantling over sheds and conservatories to full tree felling where space allows, we plan each job to suit the site. Waste is removed and the area left ready for replanting or landscaping.
Nunhead’s Victorian terraces and period cottages often come with long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries, so precision matters. We’re used to working near Brockley, East Dulwich and Peckham where mature trees can outgrow smaller plots. Our team assesses canopy spread, lean, root influence and proximity to properties before recommending the safest method. If you’re unsure whether a tree can be retained with pruning, we’ll explain the options clearly.
Our process starts with a site visit and risk assessment, then a method statement covering access, protection and waste handling. We use professional rigging and controlled lowering for sectional dismantling, and offer stump grinding or full stump removal depending on your plans. Emergency call-outs are available for storm damage, and we can support insurance work with photos and documentation. Homeowners choose us for punctual crews, tidy finishes and a 10-year warranty on qualifying works.
As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Southwark, we plan for controlled access, resident parking restrictions and narrow side passages common in SE15. Gardens near Nunhead Green and Telegraph Hill Park often have mature trees and mixed ground conditions, so we choose machinery and stump grinding depth carefully. We also consider shared fences, outbuildings and nearby footpaths when setting up exclusion zones. Where required, we coordinate timings to reduce disruption for neighbours.

Costs in Nunhead vary with height, spread, access, and whether sectional dismantling is needed. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£600, medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200, and large or complex removals can be £1,200–£3,000+. Stump grinding is usually £120–£350 depending on diameter and access. Emergency work and crane/road management can increase costs.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, while larger trees or sectional dismantling near buildings can take a full day or more. Stump grinding is often completed in 30–90 minutes once set up, but multiple stumps may take longer. Timescales depend on access through side alleys, the amount of rigging required, and whether you want full site clearance and waste removal. We’ll confirm timings after a site survey.
Most garden tree work doesn’t need planning permission, but restrictions can apply if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area. Southwark Council rules may require an application or notice period before work starts. We check for TPOs and conservation constraints as part of the quotation process and can help with the paperwork. Emergency safety work may be treated differently, with evidence required.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying works, covering workmanship for agreed elements such as stump grinding backfill/finish where specified and reinstatement items included in the scope. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but we stand behind the safety and standard of the work carried out, including debris clearance and site condition on completion. Warranty terms depend on the agreed specification and any third-party factors like underground services.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding (fast, less invasive) or full stump removal (deeper excavation, useful for building works). For finishing, popular options include topsoil and turf reinstatement, new planting beds, or permeable gravel areas for low maintenance. If you’re redesigning the garden, we can advise on replacement tree species suited to smaller SE15 plots and help plan screening without future overcrowding.
