We regularly work around Crystal Palace Park and along SE19, where mature trees can overshadow gardens and neighbouring properties.

If you need emergency work after high winds, we can respond quickly.
Upper Norwood’s historic hilltop setting and period streets bring their own challenges, especially with tight side access and shared boundaries. We’re used to working around Victorian villas, Edwardian houses and period conversions where protecting paving, walls and planting is essential. Whether you’re in Crystal Palace, South Norwood or Norwood New Town, we tailor methods and equipment to suit the plot and access. For larger trees close to buildings, sectional dismantling is often the safest option.
We start with a site assessment, checking stability, access routes and safe drop zones before any cutting begins. All arisings are removed, and we can grind or fully remove stumps to prevent regrowth and trip hazards. We’re fully insured and experienced with insurance work, providing clear documentation when required. Homeowners choose us because we work neatly, communicate clearly, and finish the job properly—right down to the final sweep-up.
As tree removal contractors Upper Norwood area homeowners rely on, we plan around hillier streets, narrow drives and limited parking near places like Westow Park and Upper Norwood Library. We protect period brickwork, garden steps and established planting common to older properties. Where access is restricted, we use controlled rigging and smaller equipment to reduce disruption. We also help check constraints such as TPOs and conservation considerations before work starts.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs vary by size, access and whether the tree needs sectional dismantling. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£500, while medium trees are commonly £600–£1,200. Large or complex removals near buildings can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is typically £120–£350 depending on stump size and depth. We’ll provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day, with medium trees often completed within a day including waste removal. Larger trees requiring rigging and careful sectional dismantling can take 1–2 days, sometimes longer if access is tight or multiple stems are involved. Stump grinding usually takes 30–90 minutes per stump. Timescales depend on tree height, proximity to buildings, parking/loading distance, and whether emergency making-safe work is needed first.
Most garden tree work doesn’t require planning permission, but there can be restrictions if the tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or if your property is within a conservation area. In those cases, you may need council consent or to give notice before work begins. We can help you identify whether protections apply and advise on the right next steps, including providing details for an application if required.
Yes. Our workmanship is backed by a 10-year warranty on the elements we install or reinstate as part of the job (for example, making good ground where agreed, or new landscaping works following removal). Tree removal itself is a one-off service, but we guarantee safe completion to the agreed scope, full waste removal, and a tidy finish. If any agreed remedial issue arises, we’ll return promptly to resolve it.
You can choose stump grinding (fast, minimal disruption) or full stump removal where excavation is needed for foundations or paving. After clearance, many homeowners opt for re-turfing, new planting beds, screening hedges, or a patio and path redesign. We’ll advise on what suits your garden’s light levels and soil, and we can recommend replacement trees that won’t outgrow the space. We also handle complete site clearance and disposal.
