If a tree is overhanging, blocking light or showing signs of decay, professional care makes all the difference. We provide expert tree work across SE6, including around Catford Broadway and Mountsfield Park. Whether you need careful pruning, a controlled dismantle, or urgent make-safe after high winds, our team plans each job to protect people, property and planting. We also handle tidy waste removal, so your garden is left usable straight away.
Catford’s mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis and ex-council homes often means compact rear gardens, shared boundaries and narrow side access. That’s why our tree surgery Catford area service is designed for tight working spaces and close neighbours. We use sectional dismantling, lowering ropes and protective ground coverings where needed. You’ll get practical recommendations that suit your tree species, garden layout and long-term plans.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, risks and access, then provide a clear scope of works and options. On the day, we cordon work zones, use professional rigging, and keep noise and disruption controlled. All arisings are removed, and we can grind stumps below ground level to help with replanting or paving. Homeowners choose us for reliable communication, clean finishes and a straightforward, safety-first approach.
Working across the London Borough of Lewisham, we’re used to Catford’s mixed access: narrow alleyways, shared drives and on-street parking. We plan loading, chipper placement and timber removal to minimise obstruction, especially near busy routes by the Catford Cat statue and the Broadway. Ground conditions vary from compacted lawns to paved courtyards, so we use boards and mats to protect surfaces. If a tree sits close to fences, sheds or conservatories, we’ll recommend controlled reductions or dismantling rather than risky cuts.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Most jobs in Catford fall between £300 and £1,500 per tree, depending on size, access and complexity. Smaller pruning or hedge trimming can start from around £200, while large dismantles, emergency work or multiple-stem trees can reach £2,500 per tree. Costs are influenced by proximity to buildings, waste volume, stump removal requirements and whether rigging is needed for safe lowering.
Typical tree surgery takes 1–2 days, with many straightforward crown reductions or pruning jobs completed in a day. Larger fells, complex dismantles over sheds or conservatories, or work requiring careful rigging can extend into a second day. Timing also depends on access for chippers and removal vehicles, the amount of timber to process, and whether stump grinding is included after felling.
Many routine garden works are permitted, but some trees in the London Borough of Lewisham may be protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or sit within a conservation area. If protection applies, you may need council consent before pruning, felling or significant reductions. We’ll ask the right questions, help check constraints, and can advise on the appropriate application route so your tree surgery in London Borough of Lewisham stays compliant.
We back our workmanship with a 10-year warranty on the work we carry out, covering defects arising from our workmanship rather than natural tree movement, extreme weather events or pre-existing decay. We also work to recognised arboricultural standards and prioritise safe, correct cuts to support long-term tree health. If any issue relates to our completed works, we’ll assess it promptly and put it right.
Options include crown reduction for size control, crown thinning for light, targeted pruning for clearance, full tree felling with controlled dismantling, stump removal via grinding, and hedge trimming for tidy boundaries. We’ll recommend the right approach based on species, structure and your goals—privacy, more daylight, safer paths, or space for extensions. We can also advise on replanting positions and aftercare to keep new growth healthy.
