From overgrown garden trees to storm-damaged limbs, we deliver careful removals tailored to Thornton Heath homes. Our team works across CR7, including streets near Thornton Heath station and around Grangewood Park. We plan each job to protect fences, sheds, patios and neighbouring gardens. All timber, branches and debris can be removed, leaving your outdoor space clean and usable.
Thornton Heath’s Victorian terraces, Edwardian semis and 1930s houses often have long, narrow gardens and shared boundaries. That means access can be tight and lowering techniques are often safer than straight felling. We’re used to working around conservatories, rear extensions and mature planting. If you’re in Broad Green, Norbury, Selhurst or South Norwood, we’ll assess the safest approach for your specific plot.
We start with a site visit, risk assessment and a clear plan for felling or sectional dismantling. Where needed, we arrange stump grinding or full stump removal and finish with site clearance and waste removal. Emergency work is available for dangerous, hanging or windblown trees, and we can support insurance work with photos and job details. Homeowners choose us for tidy workmanship, clear communication and dependable aftercare.
As tree removal contractors in London Borough of Croydon, we’re familiar with CR7 parking, narrow side access and shared driveways common near Thornton Heath Pond. We plan equipment delivery and chipper placement to reduce disruption and keep paths clear. Ground conditions vary between compacted lawns and older garden beds, so we choose the right stump grinding depth and protection boards. If council rules or protected trees apply, we help you navigate the checks before work starts.

Costs depend on tree size, access, and whether you need stump grinding and waste removal. For Thornton Heath gardens, small tree removals often start around £250–£450, while medium trees commonly fall in the £500–£1,200 range. Large or complex sectional dismantling can be £1,200–£3,000+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£450 depending on diameter and root spread. We’ll provide a written, itemised quote after a site visit.
Many small removals can be completed in 2–4 hours, including tidy-up and waste loading. Medium trees often take half a day, especially where sectional dismantling is needed over sheds, extensions or neighbouring fences. Larger trees may require a full day or more, particularly with restricted access or multiple stems. Stump grinding usually adds 30–90 minutes per stump. Weather, parking, and the amount of clearance requested can also affect timings.
Often, removing a garden tree doesn’t require permission, but there are important exceptions. Trees can be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or be within a conservation area, which may require consent or prior notice to the council. If the tree is dangerous, emergency works may be allowed, but evidence is usually needed. We’ll help you check protections, advise on next steps, and can support applications where required before starting work.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the landscaping elements we install or reinstate as part of the job, such as repaired edging, relaid turf sections, or reinstated beds after stump removal. Tree removal itself is carried out to agreed specifications and documented on completion. If any issues arise from our reinstatement work, we’ll return to inspect and put it right. Warranty terms are confirmed in writing with your quote.
After removal, you can choose stump grinding (fast and tidy) or full stump removal if you’re building, paving or planting deeply. Many Thornton Heath homeowners then opt for lawn reinstatement, new borders, raised planters, or paving where the tree once stood. We can also advise on replacement planting—such as smaller ornamental trees or screening shrubs—suited to your garden size and light levels. We’ll explain pros, costs and maintenance before you decide.
