Trees can quickly become a risk in tight gardens, especially after storms or when roots start lifting paving. Our team works across SE18, including around the Royal Arsenal and Woolwich Town Centre, delivering safe tree felling, sectional dismantling and complete site clearance. We plan each job to protect fences, sheds, parked cars and nearby footpaths. You get clear communication, tidy workmanship and responsible disposal of all arisings.
Woolwich has a mix of Victorian terraces, converted arsenal buildings and modern apartments, each with different access and neighbour considerations. In streets near Charlton and Plumstead, narrow side returns and shared boundaries often mean sectional dismantling is the safest approach. For newer developments close to the river, we’re careful with communal areas, underground services and managed access routes. This local experience helps us work efficiently without compromising safety.
We start with a site survey, risk assessment and a method statement tailored to your property. Where needed, we use rigging and controlled lowering to dismantle trees in sections, then finish with stump grinding or full stump removal. All waste removal is included, leaving your garden ready for replanting or landscaping. Homeowners choose us for punctuality, careful protection of surrounding areas and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
Access in Woolwich can be challenging, with permit parking, narrow streets and shared alleys behind terraces. We plan loading, chipper placement and removal routes to minimise disruption, especially near the Woolwich Ferry approaches and busier roads. Ground conditions vary from compacted urban soil to made ground around regeneration sites, so we adapt stump grinding depth and reinstatement. We also factor in boundary walls and close neighbours common in SE18 properties.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Costs in SE18 vary with tree size, access, proximity to buildings and whether you need stump work. As a guide, small tree removals often start around £250–£450, medium trees typically fall in the £500–£1,200 range, and large or complex sectional dismantles can be £1,500–£3,500+. Stump grinding is commonly £120–£350 depending on diameter and access. We provide a written quote after a site visit.
Many straightforward jobs take half a day to a full day, including tidy-up and waste removal. A small tree with good access may be completed in 2–4 hours, while a larger tree requiring sectional dismantling and rigging can take 1–2 days. Stump grinding is often 30–90 minutes once set up. Timescales depend on access, parking/loading distance, the number of stems, and whether there are overhead cables or tight boundaries.
Often you won’t need permission for routine garden tree work, but there are important exceptions. Some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas, which can require consent or prior notice before felling or major pruning. As experienced tree removal contractors in Royal Borough of Greenwich, we can help you check protections and advise on the correct process. If a tree is unsafe, we’ll document the condition to support urgent action.
Yes. We stand behind our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on qualifying works, covering issues caused by installation or workmanship where applicable (for example, reinstatement and agreed finishing works). Tree removal itself is a one-off service, but we guarantee safe completion to the agreed specification, with full waste removal and site clearance included. If you notice anything unexpected after the job, we’ll return promptly to inspect and put it right where covered.
You can choose stump grinding (fast and minimally disruptive) or full stump removal where excavation is preferred for future building or deep planting. After grinding, we can leave the grindings for backfill, remove them for a clean soil finish, or prepare the area for turf, planting beds or new paving. We’ll recommend the best option based on your plans, access and nearby services, and we can coordinate follow-on landscaping if you want the space redesigned.
