Emergency Tree Work

Our Area of Expertise

Storm damage, high winds or unexpected tree failure can create hazardous situations that require urgent, expert intervention. Our 24/7 emergency tree work service provides rapid response when safety is at risk, ensuring dangerous trees are assessed, secured and made safe as quickly as possible. Whether the issue arises during extreme weather or at an unpredictable moment, our team is equipped to handle it promptly and professionally.

On arrival, we carry out an immediate risk assessment to identify unstable stems, hanging branches, damaged structures and any threats to people, property or access routes. Using specialist equipment and safe dismantling techniques, we stabilise or remove hazardous material, working methodically to eliminate risk while minimising further damage to the surrounding area.

Our emergency service covers all types of incidents—from trees fallen across roads, driveways and footpaths to storm-damaged limbs caught over buildings, vehicles or power lines. We operate with strict safety protocols and coordinate with other services where required, ensuring a controlled and efficient response even in challenging conditions.

Once the immediate hazard is resolved, we can provide follow-up advice or further remedial work to help restore the site and prevent future issues. Whatever the situation, our emergency team delivers fast, reliable and professional support when you need it most.

If your tree is protected by a Tree Preservation Order (TPO) or in a Conservation Area, permission is required. We can check this for you and help with the application if needed.
