If a tree is overhanging the pavement near Balham High Road or dropping limbs after high winds, it’s time for professional help. We provide careful pruning, crown reduction and safe removals for homeowners across SW12. Our team works with minimal disruption, protecting lawns, borders and neighbouring fences. We also handle urgent issues after storms and fallen branches.
Balham’s Victorian terraces and Edwardian houses often have long rear gardens with mature trees that need regular management. In mansion conversions around Nightingale and Clapham South, access can be tighter and shared boundaries are common, so precision matters. We’re used to working around sheds, extensions and well-established planting. The result is a better-shaped canopy, improved light levels and reduced risk to property.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, structure and any hazards, then recommend the most appropriate works. You’ll receive clear options, tidy workmanship and responsible waste removal, including stump grinding where needed. Our arborists use modern rigging and lowering techniques to avoid damage to patios and garden features. Homeowners choose us for reliable scheduling, clean finishes and a 10-year warranty-backed standard of care.
We know the access challenges of Balham Hill streets and the parking constraints near Balham station, so we plan loading, chipper placement and neighbour safety carefully. Gardens around Tooting Bec Common often have established trees with broad canopies that benefit from measured reductions rather than heavy cuts. For tree surgery in London Borough of Wandsworth, we also factor in boundary lines, shared driveways and public footpaths. Our approach is practical, tidy and suited to SW12 property layouts.

Costs in SW12 typically range from £200–£2,500 per tree depending on size, species, access and complexity. Most homeowners in the tree surgery Balham area spend around £300–£1,500 for common jobs such as pruning, crown reduction or a straightforward felling. Stump removal and waste disposal can affect the total, as can working near buildings, conservatories or shared boundaries.
Most tree surgery jobs take 1–2 days, with smaller pruning or hedge trimming often completed in a few hours. Larger dismantles, multiple trees, or complex rigging near roofs and fences can push work into a second day. Access, parking, and whether stump grinding is required also influence timing. We’ll confirm a realistic schedule after a site assessment and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many routine works on trees within your garden are permitted, but some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas. If that applies, you may need council consent before felling or major pruning. We check the relevant constraints for Balham and advise on the correct route, including what information is typically required. We only proceed once permissions are clear.
