From overhanging branches near Shirley Windmill to storm-damaged trees close to Addington Hills, we handle removals with care and control. Our team carries out tree felling and sectional dismantling to suit tight gardens and nearby structures. We also manage waste removal and leave your outdoor space clean and usable. If you need urgent help, we offer emergency work and can assist with insurance work too.
Shirley’s leafy streets include many 1930s semis, detached homes and newer developments where access can be limited by narrow side passages and shared driveways. We plan each job around neighbouring properties, conservatories and garden buildings. Whether you’re near Shirley Park Golf Club or bordering Addiscombe, we tailor the method to your plot and the tree’s condition. Stump grinding and stump removal are available to prepare for turfing, planting or paving.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a clear, written scope of works. Trees are removed in controlled sections where needed, then we complete site clearance and take all arisings away. You’ll get straightforward communication, respectful working practices and a tidy finish. Local homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, insured workmanship and a long-lasting result.
Working across CR0 and the London Borough of Croydon, we’re used to residential parking constraints, school-run traffic and limited access around side gates. We plan loading, chipper placement and removal routes to minimise disruption and protect driveways and lawns. Ground conditions vary from established gardens to newer plots, so we choose the right stump removal approach to avoid sinking or rutting. If council constraints apply, we help you navigate them before work starts.

Costs in Shirley vary with tree size, access and whether sectional dismantling is required.

Many single-tree removals take half a day to a full day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Small trees with clear access can be completed in a couple of hours, while larger trees near buildings often need sectional dismantling and may take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is usually 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on access, tree condition, proximity to structures and weather.
Often, you can remove a tree on your property without formal 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 notice to the council. We’ll ask the right questions, check available records where possible and advise on the next steps. If permission is needed, we can support the process before scheduling work.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty covering defects arising from our work, such as issues linked to stump grinding depth or incomplete removal agreed in the scope. It doesn’t cover new ground movement, future root heave from other trees, or damage caused by extreme weather after completion. We also carry appropriate insurance for peace of mind. You’ll receive clear documentation of what’s included before we start.
After stump grinding or stump removal, you can choose several practical finishes depending on your plans. Popular options include topsoil and turf reinstatement, reseeding, new planting beds, or preparing a level base for paving or a shed. If you’re redesigning the garden, we can advise on drainage, edging and planting choices to suit Shirley’s established plots. We’ll recommend the most cost-effective finish for your timeline and budget.
