If a tree is leaning, storm-damaged or simply outgrown the space, we can remove it safely and efficiently. We work across CR8, including Purley Cross and Purley Oaks, with methods chosen to protect lawns, paving and neighbouring boundaries. From straightforward tree felling to complex sectional dismantling over sheds and conservatories, we plan every cut. You’ll also get complete site clearance and waste removal as standard.
Purley’s leafy streets at the foot of the North Downs bring larger gardens and mature trees, especially around Kenley, Sanderstead and Coulsdon. Many properties are large detached homes, 1930s houses and period buildings where access can be tight and targets are close. We’re used to working around garages, garden rooms, overhead lines and established planting. Our team matches the approach to the tree, the property and the surrounding risk.
We start with a clear assessment, then recommend the safest option: tree felling where space allows, or sectional dismantling when precision is required. Stumps can be ground out below soil level or fully removed, depending on your plans for replanting, turfing or hard landscaping. We’re fully insured and can take on emergency work and insurance work, with tidy, documented completion. Homeowners choose us for straightforward communication, punctuality and a clean finish.
We know the access and parking challenges around Purley Way and residential roads near Riddlesdown. Sloping plots and chalky North Downs ground can affect stump grinding depth and machine choice, so we plan accordingly. Where gardens back onto rail lines, footpaths or neighbouring boundaries, we use sectional techniques and rigging to keep everything controlled. As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we also factor in local restrictions and good neighbour practice.

Many straightforward jobs can be completed in half a day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Sectional dismantling near buildings or tight boundaries often takes a full day, and very large trees may run into two days. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump, depending on diameter and access. Timings are affected by tree condition, rigging requirements, and whether emergency work is needed after storms.
Often, tree removal on private property is permitted, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, which can require consent before work starts. If the tree is dead or dangerous, different rules may apply but evidence is usually needed. We’ll help check protections, advise on the correct route, and can support applications where required.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on agreed aspects of the completed work, such as reinstatement related to stump removal or ground works we carry out as part of the job. Tree removal itself is a one-off operation, but we guarantee safe, professional completion, thorough waste removal, and a tidy site. We’re fully insured and can provide documentation for insurance work on request.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding to below soil level for easy re-turfing, or full stump removal if you’re installing foundations, patios or new drainage. Many homeowners in the tree removal contractors Purley area also opt for topsoil and turf reinstatement, replanting with a smaller ornamental tree, or converting the space into a planting bed. We’ll advise based on sunlight, soil conditions, and how you want to use the garden.
