Clapham’s mature streets and parks mean trees can quickly outgrow their space, especially near Clapham Common and the busy roads around Clapham Junction station. We handle everything from tree pruning and crown reduction to full tree felling and stump removal. Our team works neatly around patios, sheds and shared boundaries, keeping access routes clear. If a limb comes down in high winds, we also offer emergency tree work.
Local gardens in Clapham North and Clapham Old Town often sit behind Georgian townhouses and Victorian terraces, with narrow side returns and tight rear access. We plan lifts, lowering and waste removal to suit these constraints, and we’re equally comfortable working around modern apartment courtyards. Whether it’s a single ornamental tree or a line of boundary conifers, we tailor the approach to your layout. This is tree surgery Clapham area homeowners rely on for careful, controlled work.
We start with a site visit to assess tree health, structure and risk, then recommend the right option: crown reduction, selective pruning, hedge trimming, felling or stump grinding. You’ll get a clear scope of work, safety plan and tidy-up details before we begin. Our arborists use professional rigging to protect fences, roofs and neighbouring gardens, and all arisings are removed or chipped as agreed. Clients choose us for consistent communication, respectful crews and a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship.
Working across SW4 and SW11 means dealing with mixed access, controlled parking and busy streets near Clapham Common. We schedule deliveries and chipper positioning to reduce disruption and keep footpaths clear. Soil conditions vary from compacted lawns to planted borders in period gardens, so we protect roots and reinstate surfaces carefully. For tree surgery in London Borough of Lambeth/Wandsworth, we also factor in boundary lines and neighbour considerations from the outset.
Rated 4.9/5 from over 280 verified reviews
Tree surgery costs in Clapham typically fall between £300 and £1,500 per tree, depending on size, access and the type of work. Smaller pruning jobs may start around £200, while complex felling with rigging, multiple stems or difficult access can reach £2,500 per tree. Stump removal, waste volume and whether you need emergency attendance will also affect the final price range.
Most tree surgery jobs take 1–2 days, with straightforward pruning often completed within a day. Larger crown reductions, sectional dismantling, or combined work such as felling plus stump grinding can extend into a second day. Timeframes depend on tree height, proximity to buildings, access through side passages, and the amount of debris to remove. Weather and parking restrictions can also influence scheduling.
Many tree pruning and maintenance tasks don’t require formal permission, but some trees are protected by Tree Preservation Orders (TPOs) or sit within conservation areas. In those cases, you may need council consent before work starts. We help you identify potential restrictions and can advise on the right application or notification route. If protection applies, we’ll propose compliant options that still address safety and light levels.
Yes. We provide a 10-year warranty on qualifying workmanship, covering issues that arise from how the work was carried out, such as agreed cuts, reductions and finishing standards. It does not cover new storm damage, disease progression, or problems caused by third-party alterations after completion. We’ll explain what’s covered for your specific job in writing and keep photo records to support clear aftercare.
Popular options include crown reduction to manage height and spread, selective pruning to improve structure and light, and full tree felling where removal is the safest choice. We also offer stump grinding, hedge trimming for boundary screening, and emergency call-outs after storms. If you’re unsure what’s best, we’ll assess tree health, your garden use and neighbour impact, then recommend a practical, proportionate solution.
