Mature trees are a big part of Banstead’s character, especially around Banstead Downs and the gardens off Banstead High Street. Our arborists carry out precise pruning, crown reduction and safe tree felling to protect your home, neighbours and boundaries. If you’ve got overhanging limbs, excessive shade or storm-damaged branches, we’ll assess the risk and recommend the right solution. We also offer stump removal and hedge trimming to leave the garden usable straight away.
We regularly work across SM7, including Nork and Burgh Heath, where plots often include established trees and long hedgelines. Large detached houses, 1930s properties and executive homes can have driveways, garages and conservatories close to the canopy, so accuracy matters. We plan cuts to maintain shape while reducing weight and wind-sail, helping prevent future failures. For tighter access, we use sectional dismantling and controlled lowering to protect patios, lawns and planting.
Our process starts with a clear site survey, access plan and a written scope of works, so you know exactly what’s happening. We use modern rigging and chipping equipment, work to recognised arboricultural standards, and keep the site tidy throughout. All waste can be removed, or logs left neatly stacked if you prefer. Homeowners choose our tree surgery Banstead area service for reliable scheduling, clear communication and a finish that looks considered rather than hacked back.
In Reigate and Banstead Borough, access and parking can vary from wide drives to narrow side passages, so we plan equipment and chipper placement in advance. Banstead’s downland soils can be chalky and free-draining, which affects rooting and stability in dry spells. We also factor in nearby boundaries and public footpaths when setting exclusion zones. If council constraints apply, we’ll help you check requirements before any cutting starts.

Tree surgery pricing in Banstead typically falls between £200 and £2,500 per tree, with most homeowners paying around £300–£1,500 depending on the job. Light pruning or hedge trimming sits at the lower end, while large dismantles, complex crown reductions and emergency call-outs can cost more. Access, waste removal, proximity to buildings and whether stump removal is needed all influence the final figure.
Most tree surgery jobs in SM7 take 1–2 days, though small pruning visits can be completed in a few hours. Timescales depend on tree size, the number of trees, access for chippers and trucks, and whether we’re doing stump grinding or full removal. Weather can also affect safe climbing and rigging. After a site visit, we’ll confirm a realistic schedule and keep disruption to a minimum.
Many garden tree works are permitted, but some trees may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area, which can require consent or notice before work begins. Rules vary by location and tree, so we recommend checking early. We can help identify likely constraints and advise what information the council may need. We won’t start restricted work until the correct permissions are in place.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on workmanship for the tree surgery tasks we carry out, covering issues that arise from how the work was performed (for example, poor finishing cuts or agreed scope not completed correctly). Natural factors such as extreme weather, disease, pests, or pre-existing structural defects in the tree aren’t covered. We’ll explain what’s included before starting and leave your site safe and tidy on completion.
We tailor the approach to your tree and goals. Popular options include crown reduction to manage height and spread, crown thinning to let in more light, formative pruning for younger trees, and deadwood removal for safety. For removals, we can fell in sections and offer stump grinding to below ground level, or full stump extraction where access allows. We’ll recommend the best option after assessing structure, proximity to buildings and future garden plans.
