Soho’s tight courtyards, roof terraces and rear access routes demand careful planning when a tree needs to come down. We provide tree felling, sectional dismantling and emergency work across W1, including around Soho Square and Carnaby Street. Whether a storm-damaged limb is overhanging a neighbour’s garden or a tree is causing light loss, we remove it safely and efficiently. All waste is removed, leaving the site clean and usable.
Local properties range from Georgian townhouses to mansion flats and commercial conversions, often with limited storage and shared access. That’s why our tree removal contractors Soho area team focuses on low-impact methods, controlled rigging and tidy working practices. We regularly work near Fitzrovia, Covent Garden and Leicester Square where parking and access can be challenging. You’ll get clear communication, considerate neighbours-first scheduling, and a finish that suits premium central London homes.
We start with a site visit to assess tree condition, access, and any risks to buildings, glazing and boundaries. If felling isn’t suitable, we dismantle in sections, lower timber safely, then complete stump grinding or full stump removal as required. We’re fully insured and experienced with insurance work, providing photos and documentation when needed. Homeowners trust us for punctual arrivals, clean handovers and straightforward advice.
Working in the City of Westminster often means narrow streets, restricted parking and timed deliveries, so we plan loading, waste removal and equipment setup carefully. Many Soho gardens sit behind terraces with limited access, making sectional dismantling and controlled lowering essential. We adapt to hard landscaping, basement lightwells and delicate paving common in W1. Where required, we help navigate council expectations and keep disruption to neighbours minimal.

Costs in Soho vary mainly by tree size, access, and whether sectional dismantling is required. As a guide, small tree removals may start around £350–£750, while medium trees often fall between £800–£1,800. Large or complex removals in tight W1 access can be £2,000–£5,000+. Stump grinding is commonly £150–£450 depending on diameter and depth. Waste removal and parking logistics can affect totals.
Many small removals can be completed in half a day, including tidy-up and waste removal. Medium trees typically take one day, especially if sectional dismantling and rigging are needed. Larger or higher-risk jobs may run 2–3 days, particularly where access is via a building, through narrow passages, or near neighbouring properties. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes. Weather, permissions and parking arrangements can extend timelines.
Often, routine garden work is permitted, but tree removal can be restricted if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sits within a conservation area, which is common around central London. The City of Westminster may require a formal application or a notice period before work starts. We check protections, advise on the correct route, and can provide supporting details for applications. If urgent safety work is needed, we document the risk.
Yes. Our workmanship comes with a 10-year warranty on relevant groundworks we carry out as part of stump removal and reinstatement (for example, backfilling and making good where agreed). Tree removal itself is a one-time operation, but we guarantee safe, competent execution to the agreed method statement and full site clearance. If any issue arises linked to our reinstatement, we return to inspect and put it right under warranty terms.
After stump grinding or full stump removal, you can choose several finishes depending on how you use the space. Popular options include topsoil and turf, replanting with a smaller tree or shrub, gravel for low-maintenance courtyards, or paving to match existing stone. We’ll advise on levels, drainage and root barriers where appropriate, especially in compact W1 gardens. If you’re planning a new layout, we can coordinate site clearance first.
