Emergency & Post-Storm Inspections

Our Area of Expertise

Severe weather events can significantly impact tree stability, increasing the risk of structural failure and creating urgent safety hazards. Our Emergency & Post-Storm Inspections provide rapid, professional assessment following storms, high winds or unexpected incidents, helping landowners identify immediate risks and take swift, appropriate action.

We quickly evaluate damaged, uprooted or partially failed trees, assessing factors such as hanging branches, compromised root systems, cracked stems, and new lean angles. Each inspection determines whether emergency works—such as branch removal, sectional dismantling or site cordoning—are required to protect people, property and access routes.

Where appropriate, we also provide recommendations for follow-up management, including remedial pruning, monitoring schedules or long-term structural support.

Our fast, reliable response gives you confidence that hazards are identified promptly and that any necessary work is guided by qualified arboricultural judgement, helping to ensure safety and minimise further damage. Contact our experts today!
